Scrolling to a specific line or anchor in an html_area...

Classic Servoy

The user can click in an html_area to edit the text. I bring up a dialog window with various fields and the user changes the text, clicks “OK” and I recalculate the HTML text of the html_area.

This works fine, except for one detail, when I update the text of the html_area, the vertical scrollbar jumps back to the top, so the user may have to manually scroll down to get back to where he or she was working.

Is there a way to save the value of the vertical scroll of a html_area? or is it possible to jump to an anchor in the html_area?

Currently not possible, but we could make methods getScrollX() getScrollY() and setScroll(x,y) on the field

That sounds like a good idea and would solve my problem!
