Window: scrollTo smooth behavior Safari support

[albertopiva]

Hello everybody,

This is my first time here, hoping to follow all the guidelines I would ask information about the smooth behavior of Window scrollTo API.
I noticed that the documentation page specifies that the options.behavior is supported since Safari 14 but

Safari does not have support for the smooth scroll behavior.

After some searches inside the Safari release documentation, I founded that from Safari 15.4 they introduced the support of smooth scroll:

Added support for the CSS scroll-behavior property and ScrollOptions, allowing smooth scrolling to anchors or via JavaScript.

Moreover, looking at the documentation of WebKit 15.4 probably we can confirm the support of the smooth behavior via css but also Window.scrollTo().

Developers can also control scroll behavior for an element with either the CSS scroll-behavior property or the behavior option in window.scroll(), window.scrollTo(), and window.scrollBy() methods in JavaScript. This new support gives developers the ability to choose between instantly jumping to a position in the viewport or smoothly animating the scroll operation.

Should we update the documentation page?

Thank you,
Alberto

Should we update the documentation page?

Good catch, I believe you're referring to the browser compatiability table on the scrollTo pages for Window and Element, which seem to be inconsistent with regard to Safari anyways.

So to your question: Definitely yes. Can you open a data issue in the browser-compat-data repo? 🙏

Yes sure, I don't know why the documentation page had a wrong link, I have updated it. In any case, only the Window page needs the update.
