It would be great if your extension would notice where the beginnging of the next
medium-to-large picture is and scroll right to it. So every time I scroll down I see a
full picture. This is very useful for scrolling photo feeds (like desiretoenspire.net
or www.boston.com/bigpicture). It's very annoing to see half of picture above and 1/3
of the picture below all the time while scrolling with Space, PgUp or PgDown, so you
need to fine scroll with arrows to see the full picture.

P.S.: While typing this text I've noticed that when I press up/down keys it scrolls the
screen (yes, I know this feature is experimental). It should not if im inside an input
field.

True, It does not use the GPU for rendering, so it fucks your pc.
It would be really nice this to be optimized, since it almost never works 100% well.
Just on few pages (really simple like this one) it doesn't lag as hell.

Well, the bug is when you scroll up when you are already in the top, then when you want
to go down it gets choppy.

Ignacio wrote:

Hi, its a great extension.

I tried the pulse scale and normalize.

Changing normalize is not a good idea. It works odd.

But scale is like a desacceleration value. I have it on 4, and its reallllyyy nice. The
less it is set, the longer it will be stopping the scroll.

Something that you MUST DO is make it bounce when it reachs the top and the bottom like
iPhone. That would be really cool.

With this versions i added the permission of tabs (manifest.json Line: 7) to open the

With "private data from websites" the content script (sscr.js) is meant, i think.

Scrolling in Chrome on a Mac is smooth by default. You don't need this extension if you

Smoothscroll is an extension for PC (and linux I think) only.

Patrick, thanks for this, as I wrote on the Google Code page I can finally keep up reading continuous scrolling pages. Awesome!

Given your ovbious programming skills, I wonder if you would enjoy another challenge. As a tablet PC owner I would love a 'panning' option, which is currently not available in Chrome. This would ideally add a toggle button to the UI which when 'on' would interpret 'click and drag' as a scrolling command, much like the iPhone does it, or like IE8 does with the 'panning hand'. Would something like this be possible with an extension, and second, would you be interested in giving that a shot? -Joe

If you refresh the page, and use the keyboard to scroll down, you'll get a long webpage
of articles. but the second you use the mouse wheel, the scrollbar on the left changes
size to a very large scrollbar which can only move a few cm down, and you can see only
part of the page.

Second, no keyboard support. I tend to scroll with the arrow keys and pageup/pagedown,
especially when reading. This extension catches mouse wheels, but not keystrokes. It'd
also be nice to catch things like hash navigation -- is there any way to detect that
something tried to scroll, rather than having to catch each action that caused a

@Will,

I used youtube as a sample :D
If you place your mouse in the middle of a thumbnail in the "Related Videos" Section
there are exactly 7 parents to the scrollable div.

Do you really think that is does not affect the "smoothness"? If you are a fast
scroller this loop runs maybe 5 times per second ...

For example here http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/08/16/1146242/Woman-With-Police-
Monitoring-Blog-Arrested some parts of the page have 17 parents ...

Will wrote:

Great update Patrick. I hope the Chromium devs are watching in inspiration.

Any particular reason why you loop through just 7 parentElements? I'm pretty sure the
DOM analysis you do is less load-heavy than the scrolling and timer manipulation that
follows, and visible DOM elements rarely have more than 7 parents anyway. You could
then simplify the code to "do { } while(src = src.parentElement)" (and removing lines
139-144).

You can test whether an element will scroll if it's got an overflow of "scroll" or
"auto" by comparing element.clientHeight with element.scrollHeight.

I tried to figure out what should scroll by looping up the DOM tree from
event.srcElement but never quite got there. There must be an implementation in there
somewhere though. Hope that helps.

For scrolling algorithm, you might find Firefox's implementation helpful, which you can
read at http://mxr.mozilla.org/firefox/source/view/src/nsScrollPortView.cpp

Will wrote: :

I had a go at figuring out a solution for scrolling divs but quit out of frustration.
Found out some things that could be useful though.

You can scroll a div [or any other scrollable DOM element] by setting
element.scrollTop. A quick function to read the current value and do some subtraction
and you have an equivalent function for scrollBy

You can get the element that was being hovered from event.srcElement.

Figuring out if a DOM element is scrollable is harder. You can get its overflow
property through document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(). I think document may be a
special case in that its overflow seems to be visible even though it scrolls. You can
test whether an element will scroll if it's got an overflow of "scroll" or "auto" by
comparing element.clientHeight
