jQuery .focus doesn’t actually focus a newly created element

Answer 1

I think what you're looking for is using the 'ScrollTo' plugin in jQuery. You can check it out here.

You can specify what to scroll...

$('div.pane').scrollTo(...);//all divs w/class pane

Or just scroll the window:

$.scrollTo(...);//the plugin will take care of this

There are many different ways to specify the target position. These are:

• A raw number
• A string('44', '100px', '+=30px', etc )
• A DOM element (logically, child of the scrollable element)
• A selector, that will be relative to the scrollable element
• A hash { top:x, left:y }, x and y can be any kind of number/string like above.

Bonus: In digging up this information, I also found LocalScroll and SerialScroll (animates scrolling from one item to the next).
