Scroll to anchor from RJS

Is there an way to tell the browser to scroll to a certain anchor from an RJS template?

I'm doing a page update, adding stuff at the bottom and want to browser to go there after it's been added.

Thanks, Helzer

Something like this should work (untested):

  render :update do |page|     ...     page['myanchor'].scrollTo   end

Which should generate the javascript:

   $('myanchor').scrollTo();

Hi Bob,

It turns out that the effects library is my friend: page[@dest_id].visual_effect :scroll_to
