Synopsis
window
.scroll(x
,y
)
Arguments
-
x
The X-coordinate to scroll to.
-
y
The Y-coordinate to scroll to.
Description
The scroll( )
method moves the window’s
document within the window so the specified
x
- and
y
-coordinates of the document appear in
the upper-left corner of the window.
The X-coordinate increases to the right, and the Y-coordinate
increases down the page. Thus, scroll(0,0)
always
places the top-left corner of the document in the top-left corner of
the window.
In JavaScript 1.2, the scrollTo( )
and
scrollBy( )
methods are preferred over
scroll( )
.
