jump to a section without any change in url

Question

To jump to a specific section in html page I can use <a href="last-section"></a>

or window.location.hash='last-section', which change the page's url like

www.exmple.com/index.html#last-section.

but is there a way to jump to that section without changing the url??

Yes, you can scroll the page to a section, _its id_ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4210798/how-to-scroll-to-top-of-page-with-javascript-jquery — sujeet, Apr 23 '20 at 17:56

You can get the element and use Element.scrollIntoView:

var elem = document.getElementById("last-section");
elem.scrollIntoView();
