Scroll to center of horizontal div

Question

I have following <div> on my page. Amount of black squares depends on user input. How can I scroll to horizontal center of this block using JS?

Answer 1

To center that, you need to use the scrollLeft property.

document.body.scrollLeft = (document.body.scrollWidth - document.body.clientWidth) / 2

Of course, for your problem, you need to get the reference of that div. Above code is a reference on how you scroll towards the center of a horizontal bar.
