I have a scrolling container with a hard coded height:
.scrollingContainer {
overflow: scroll;
height: 400px;
}
This scrolling container contains a list of items, when I click on the item I want to scroll the container so that the item clicked is at the top of the scrolling container.
$('.scrollingContainer li a').click( function(event) {
var vpHeight = $('.scrollingContainer').height();
var offset = $(this).offset();
$('.scrollingContainer').animate({
scrollTop: vpHeight - offset.top
}, 500);
});
Above is what I have currently, I'm having trouble with the mathematical calculation I need to perform. Also I think the var offset
value is incorrect as it seems to be getting the offset from the top of the page where I was hoping to get the offset value based on it's position in the scrolling container.
Any help appreciated!
