I've been trying to find this solution for the past few hours, but no luck so far. How could i select some text (actually found that one already, but haven't tested completely yet) in a textarea and force it to scroll to that text? I've tried using scrollTop, but i don't really know how to calculate it properly with the number of lines of the wrapping textarea in mind.

Think this would be good for what you're trying to do:

Can use it to scroll DOM elements, in this case the text you're selecting.

  • Thank you, but i can't use jquery. I was hoping there was some simple function that i missed. – Marius Oct 07 '10 at 06:41
