How to scroll within an overflow hidden div to a certain currently invisible element?

Question

I have a list of elements within a overflow hidden div. So not all elements are visible. Now, if an element gets activated, it should become visible within the div.

Maybe you are looking for scrollIntoView method.

scrollToEl[0].scrollIntoView();
