Description

This is a proposal to introduce a CSS property which authors can use to control which element(s) a scroll container will be initially scrolled to, i.e. when it first appears on a page. It is intended to provide a reliable way for developers to give their scroll containers a non-(0,0) default starting scroll position without using JavaScript or other tricks involving animations and scroll-snapping.

Just a quick update here:

• the CSS working group resolved to use scroll-initial-target instead of scroll-start-target and nearest instead of auto

per TAG feedback.
