Situation:

First: iframe with id miframe, displaying a site with the anchor called suchen, i.e.

<div id=suchen></div>. 

Second. Parent frame.

Goal: Make a link within the parent frame looking like

<a class=LINK0 title= href=javascript:springen('suchen');>w/e</a> 

make the content in the iframe be scrolled to the anchor suchen. My approach.

function springen(anker) { 

    var childWindow =  document.getElementById(miframe).contentWindow;



    // this should emulate a click on the ptAnchor DIV's child A HREF.

    //childWindow.document.getElementById(anker).firstChild.click();

    //childWindow.document.getElementById(anker).scrollIntoView();

    // alternatively, this will simply scroll the child window to the top-left corner

    //childWindow.scrollTo(0,200);

}

childWindow.scrollTo(0,200); works in so far, that scroll happens to 200.
But I need scrolling to the very anchor, wherever it is in the iframe. Ideas?
