I noticed that Firefox (Firefox developer edition 67.0b1 (64-bit)) has a nice "feature". It remembers and restores position of div elements with "overflow auto" css style.
The problem here is that I would like to
- control it (selectively enable for some elements and disable for others).
- find and use this feature in other browsers. It seems this doesn't work in Chrome.
I tried to find documentation about this, but failed. I remember myself struggling to control the scroll position of overflow elements some years ago and came up with a solution using anchor names. It seems like there were some changes during this period, otherwise I would notice this feature.
The test to reproduce is the source below. Scroll to any vertical position and reload the page (F5). You will get the last scrolling position in FF and top position in Chrome
Any information would be great,
thanks
