window.scrollTo doesn't work in phonegap for IOS

Question

I am calling:

window.scrollTo(0,this.stateModel.get("scrollY"));

in phonegap in a view's render function.

This code works on the android emulator, but not on the iPhone 6.0 emulator.

Is there any reason scrollTo wouldn't work on IOS?

Answer 1

I had issues with this as well. As a workaround, I simply created an anchor element in the desired position and then invoked a click event on a hidden anchor link.

<a class="anchor" href="#desiredLocation" style="display: none;"></a>
<a id="desiredLocation"></a>

jQuery code...

$(".anchor").click();

Not the most elegant solution, but it provides the same behavior.
