scrolling to li element - jquery

Question

i have a \"ul\" that contains lots of \"li\" (several hundred), the ul has a fixed hight of about 400px and the css property overflow:scroll, each li has the height of 40px

Answer 1

You need to do something like this:

$('#yourUL').scrollTop($('#yourUL li:nth-child(14)').position().top);

If you want to animate it, do

$('#yourUL').animate({
     scrollTop: $('#yourUL li:nth-child(14)').position().top
}, 'slow');

Obviously adjust 14 for different lis.
