I haven't seen that injection technique, so I can't comment on its
feasability. If you find the particular piece of code, I'll take a look.

 So you use the script at the second link to find the element's position
 and the function at the first link to send the browser there.  If you want
 the wave to scroll smoothly, you can scrollBy a certain increment until you
 reach the element.  That increment could simply be a fraction of the

Re: [Google Wave APIs] Navigate in a wave by code

I'm not sure that it'd be easy to do that, given there's no explicit access
to the Wave client's DOM. There would presumably have to be a gadget inside
the page that was able to reach into the parent frame, find the wave div,
and scroll that down. I don't think that an iframe can manipulate that much
of the outside.

Alternatively, a wave could me embedded, and that might make it easier to
manipulate the embedded wave.

Either way, its hacky.

I would recommend making sure the blip-to-be-focused is unread, as then
atleast people can easily spacebar to it. (And maybe one day the client will
notify them of it).

Re: [Google Wave APIs] Navigate in a wave by code

2010-02-16 Thread Chris
You'll probably have to insert some JavaScript into the page and run it, as
I doubt Google's API offers anything to do this directly.  See these pages:
http://javascript.wikia.com/wiki/Window#scroll
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/findpos.html

So you use the script at the second link to find the element's position and
the function at the first link to send the browser there.  If you want the
wave to scroll smoothly, you can scrollBy a certain increment until you
reach the element.  That increment could simply be a fraction of the
distance to the element, or a constant speed.  For example, if the element
is 280 pixels down the screen you could scrollBy 50 pixels every half a
second, three times, and then 30 pixels (the modulus - 280 % 50).  The
function to separate the calls to scrollBy would be window.setInterval:
