Browser widget scroll position [message #448623]

I'm trying to access the scrollbar position of the browser widget using
the following code:

browser.getVerticalBar().getSelection();

However, this results in a NullPointer exception, since the browser widget
always returns null for the scrollbar... Is there any way around this?

Thanks in advance,
-Ray

Not that I know of. It's not possible to reach inside a browser and get the
scroll bar.

Hi Ray,
The underlying native HTML engine manages its own scrollbars - the document
could be nested, have multiple frames and scrollbars, scrollbars can
appear/disappear as document is loaded or modified etc.
It depends on what your application is trying to do. You can do what web
developers do: e.g. use javascript window.scrollTo to change the position,
as described in an earlier post "Browser widget - howto scroll to end".
