Can't figure out a way to auto-scroll to a certain point within a div.

[DayOldPorridge]

I'm not quite sure how I would go about doing this. I've searched for ways to scroll to a point within a div, but I've only been able to find methods for doing this within the window (and not the div).

Does anyone know how to auto-scroll to a certain point within a div? And when I say auto-scroll, I mean like smooth scrolling.

Here's the code I have right now. I just don't know what to add to it.

<script type="text/javascript">

var t;
var doLoop = true;

function scrollDivToTop(divid)
{
var div = document.getElementById(divid);

if (div.scrollTop>0 && doLoop)
{
div.scrollTop-=3;
t = setTimeout("scrollDivToTop('" + divid + "')", 1);
}
else clearTimeout(t);
}

function scrollDivToBottom(divid)
{

var div = document.getElementById(divid);

if (div.scrollTop<999999999 && doLoop)
{
div.scrollTop+=3;
t = setTimeout("scrollDivToBottom('" + divid + "')", 1);
}
else clearTimeout(t);
}

function stop()
{
doLoop = false;
setTimeout('doLoop = true;', 5);
}

</script>

I've read that thread already, but that one line of code doesn't seem so straightforward. ;P

I think I need something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var scrollExample = new Fx.Scroll($('content'));
scrollExample.start(0, 120);
</script>

But then, to activate it, could I just do onClick?

<a onclick="scrollExample.start();">scroll</a>

I've actually tried this already (and yes, I have the correct div ID), but I've probably got the onclick part wrong.

Nevermind, I found a more simple solution:

No need for onClick scripts. ;P
