# Prototype scrollTo() Method

This method scrolls the window so that element appears at the top of the viewport.

This has a similar effect than what would be achieved using HTML anchors (except the browser's history is not modified).

## Syntax:

    element.scrollTo();

## Return Value:

- Returns an HTML element.

## Example:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Prototype examples</title>

    <script type="text/javascript"
       src="/javascript/prototype.js">
    </script>
    <script>

    function showResult()
    {

       $('heading').scrollTo();

    }

    </script>
    </head>

    <body">
      <h1 id="heading">This is the heading.</h1>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>

      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>

      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>
      <p id="test">Click the button see the result.</p>

      <input type="button" value="Click" onclick="showResult();"/>
