As far as I can tell, no.
Actually speaking, this has been achieved too. However, I wasn't
confident of the solution. I do a 2-step selection. I select another
OPTION some indices below, and then select the actual OPTION. If I
have a SELECT list of 100 options of size 10, and the 50th OPTION is
to be selected, then, I first select the OPTION of index 60 ( required
OPTION index + list size ), and then select the OPTION of index 50.
This brings the 50th OPTION as the first item in the visible area.
But, as I said, I wasn't too confident of the solution. I wanted to
know if there were some methods like scrollToTop or something that
could be applied....
In a single select list, the selected item
is always made visible, but in a multi-select list (I'm guessing that
is what you are using) it does not scroll if the selected item is
out-of-view (i.e. off the bottom of the visible area).
It is indeed a single select list..
I'd been mulling this over for a while, and finally got to test it.
I've run the following code in every browser I can, yet the right
option is always made visible when the button is clicked.
What browser are you having issues with? I've tested it in IE and it
works fine.
