The Scroll-Driven Animations API introduced ViewTimelines along with named ranges which refer to portions of a ViewTimeline that define an animation's range[1]. However, all the named ranges provided were restricted to the portion of the ViewTimeline where its subject is visible. It is useful for authors to be able to refer to the full extent of the scroll container underlying the timeline. This feature facilitates this by adding a named range of "scroll" to the existing set ("entry", "exit", "cover", "contain").

This allows authors to tie the progress of the animation directly to the the position of the ViewTimeline's subject within the scroll container underlying the ViewTimeline. However, ViewTimelines are, by default, constrained to the portion of the underlying scroll container within which the subject is (wholly or partially) visible, i.e. the "cover" range, i.e. { rangeStart: cover 0%, rangeEnd: cover 100%}. This means that an author has no way, for example, to refer to a range that starts when the subject is visible but ends at the end of the scrolling container (rather than when then subject stops being visible). They could opt for a hack like { rangeStart: cover 0%, rangeEnd: cover 10000%}, having attempted to manually calculate rangeEnd. Similarly, to set rangeStart, to the start of the scroll container they'd need to compute some negative percentage or px offset. With a named range of "scroll", the author would write "scroll 0%" or "scroll 100%" instead of manually-calculated values.

Yes, authors need this. Not only for Scroll-Driven Animations, but also for Scroll-Triggered Animations when you want to implement a trigger that fires only once. The end of the activation range for such a trigger is then typically set to “scroll 100%”. *Other signals*: *WebView application risks* Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? *No information provided* *Debuggability* *No information provided* *Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?* Yes *Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>?* Yes https://wpt.fyi/results/scroll-animations/view-timelines?label=master&label= experimental&aligned&q=view-timeline-get-current-time- range-name.tentative.html https://wpt.fyi/results/scroll- animations/css/view-timeline-range-animation.html?label= master&label=experimental&aligned&q=view-timeline-range-animation.html https://wpt.fyi/results/scroll-animations/view-timelines/view-timeline- get-set-range.html?label=master&label=experimental& aligned&q=view-timeline-get-set-range.html *Flag name on about://flags* *No information provided* *Finch feature name* *No information provided* *Non-finch justification* *No information provided* *Rollout plan* Will ship enabled for all users *Requires code in //chrome?* False *Tracking bug* https://crbug.com/41483848 *Estimated milestones* Shipping on desktop146Shipping on Android146Shipping on WebView146 *Anticipated spec changes* Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop issues.
