Thanks Ariel,
I guess I should be using scrollTo rather than LocalScroll.
Unfortunately I won't have a demo up for a few days.
I started to wonder if part of the problem was that the scrollable
list is returned via ajax, so I have tried using livequery, but still
no scrolling.
Here's the code I'm using now
[code]
function scrollToShow(trackid){
$('#hold').livequery(function(){
$('#hold').scrollTo($('.holdList #'+trackid));
});
}
[/code]
the id is a numeric value, so hopefully that won't be causing
problems.
Does the code look right to you?
the '#hold' is a non-scrolling div, and the '.holdList' is the
scrolling div.
I've also tried
[code]
$('.holdList').scrollTo($('.#'+trackid'));
[/code]
but that didn't work either.
Thanks for your help,
Pete
