For example, with a listbox that shows 8 rows, scrolling from the top to row 21 shows rows 14 to 21 while scrolling from the bottom shows rows 21 to 14. I am trying to make an alphabetical index for that will scroll the listbox to the first occurrence of the selected letter. It works, but I would like it to show the same data no matter whether it is scrolling up or down to get there. For that, I need to know what is showing in the listbox to start with so I can tell if it will be scrolling up or down. Is that possible with RS? or maybe XOJO next month? If I was working with PHP, I could get the position using Javascript, but I have no idea how to refer to any of the DOM objects. Is there any documentation on this?

It doesn't work with Chrome running in the Windows debugger. I haven't tried it anywhere else yet.

Instead of using ScrollTo(0) at the start, I scrolled to the bottom so that when it scrolls back up to the first row starting with the desired letter. The code to scroll to the desired line goes in a timer. Disabling the listbox did not prevent the scrolling down then back up, but with a timer period of 100, its just one continuous movement that's too fast to see what it is really doing.
