JavaScript window.scroll vs. window.scrollTo?

Question

Any idea what, if any, difference there is between window.scroll(x, y) and window.scrollTo(x, y) [not talking about jQuery]?

Also any ideas

Answer 1

There are no differences: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.scroll

As far as I know, all major browsers support both.

Answer 2

Window.scrollTo() is effectively the same as the window.scroll(x,y) method. For scrolling a particular distance, use Window.scrollBy().

Also see Window.scrollByLines(), Window.scrollByPages() and Element.scrollIntoView()

Answer 3

There is scrollTo, scroll, and scrollBy! Apparently there is no standard covering this functionality so all Browsers may not implement it the same.
