The `tm-scroll` message causes the surrounding scrollable container to scroll to the specified DOM node into view. The `tm-scroll` is handled in various places in the core itself, but can also be handled by a [[ScrollableWidget]].

|!Name |!Description |
|target |Target DOM node the scrollable container should scroll to (note that this parameter can only be set via JavaScript code) |
|selector |<<.from-version "5.1.23">> Optional string [[CSS selector|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors]] as an alternate means of identifying the target DOM node |
|animationDuration |<<.from-version "5.2.2">> Optional number specifying the animation duration in milliseconds for the scrolling. Defaults to the [[global animation duration|$:/config/AnimationDuration]]. |

<<.tip "Set `animationDuration` to `0` to scroll without animation">>
