Need javascript to auto-scroll to the target html element after page loads

Question

I\'m backend developer, new to javascript. Can anyone provide a few lines of script that will allow the page to auto-scroll to the \"target\" element after the page loads

Answer 1

You can use scrollIntoView on the element in window.onload event..

In your case you would be doing:

window.onload = function() {
    var el = document.getElementById('target');
    el.scrollIntoView(true);
}
