To scroll a textarea element inside an iframe element, you can use JavaScript to access the textarea element and then use the scrollTop property to scroll the element. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:


First, you will need to access the textarea element inside the iframe element. You can do this by selecting the iframe element and then accessing its contentWindow and document properties to reach the textarea element:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
// Get the iframe element
var iframe = document.getElementById('iframeId');

// Access the iframe element's content window and document
var iframeContent = iframe.contentWindow.document;

// Get the textarea element inside the iframe
var textarea = iframeContent.getElementById('textareaId');


Once you have accessed the textarea element, you can use the scrollTop property to scroll the element to a specific position. For example, to scroll the textarea element to the top, you can set the scrollTop property to 0:

1
2
// Scroll the textarea element to the top
textarea.scrollTop = 0;


You can also scroll the textarea element to a specific position by setting the scrollTop property to the desired value. For example, to scroll the textarea element down by 100 pixels, you can do the following:

1
2
// Scroll the textarea element down by 100 pixels
textarea.scrollTop += 100;


By using JavaScript to access the textarea element inside the iframe element and then manipulating its scrollTop property, you can easily scroll the textarea element as needed.
