ScrollIntoView returns 'offsetTop' is null

[David Beck]

Hello,

 I have a Treeview with LoadOnDemand using ServerSideCallback.

I am using a Combobox at the top of the page to act as a quick selector/search when i select a node formt he combo box it selected the node and then expands it.

I then call  the scroolIntoView but i get a JS Error stating offsetTop is null or not an object

 heres the sample code i use for the Combox's SelctionChanged Event

function ddlSearchTreeView_SelectionChanged(sender, eventArgs)
                {
                    var _Item = eventArgs.get_item();
                    var tree = $find("<%=oTreeView.ClientID %>");
                    var node = tree.findNodeByValue(_Item.get_value());
                    node.select();
                    node.expand();
// HIGH VALUE FOR TESTING
                    window.setTimeout(function() {node.scrollIntoView(); }, 10000);
                }

Hi Loren Dorez,

You only have to change one line in your code and it should be working fine.
Change:

node.scrollIntoView();

to:

node.get_element().scrollIntoView();

Our "scrollIntoView" is working only for the container of the treeView itself (if you set the height in way to have a scrollBar, than it's going to scroll it to that node), and when you use the one for the dom element of the node, it scrolls all containers so the element becomes visible.

Hope this is going to help you!
