scrollBy() script does not work in Android version of Chrome browsers

[Keith Shaw]

I have submitted this before. The issue HAS BEEN FIXED in the mobile Safari version of webkit, but NOT in the Android mobile browser.

Reproduce the error:

1) Got to http://www.ipulpfiction.com/books/000DEMOS/reader/DEMO-GiftOfTheMagi.html

2) Click to touch the right margin twice to close the cover and the advertisement. These simply hide layers.

3) On the copyright page, click or touch the right margin to turn the first page of the story.

Paging Code scrolls the content of an iFrame:  document.getElementById('storyFRAME').contentWindow.scrollBy(460,0);

This works in the desktop versions of Safari and Chrome and in mobile Safari as of iOS 2.1. It does not work in the native Android browser.


Please help get this to the Android people.

Hi Keith,

Android has its own fork of WebKit (that does not live in the main WebKit repository) so there is nothing we can do here to help you. Android bug reports are to be filed here:

Thanks!
