Animated page scrolling ... in a Div?

[Austin Pickett]

Hey, I have been reading up on animated page scrolling which seems
fairly simple by using window.scrollTo(x, y) among with other things.
But is it possible to scroll within an overflowed div? would I have to
getElementById("...") to execute this certain function? Or am I going
at it a whole different way.

Thanks.

Yes, you can assign to the `scrollTop' and `scrollLeft' properties of the
element object. Note that automated scrolling introduces an
usability/accessibility issue.

Probably yes. You need a reference to the element object, and D::gEBI() can
provide it.
