Question

Is there a way to automatically scroll to the bottom of a new element? I saw the scrollTo plugin but it is a few years old. Is there a way to do this with the base jQuery api?

Answer 1

You could do this:

$('body, html').css("scrollTop", $("#new_element").offset().top);

If you want it ‘animated’ you could do this

$('body, html').animate({ scrollTop: $("#new_element").offset().top }, 1000);

Hope this helps. Cheers
