FPWD: CSS Scroll Anchoring Module Level 1

CSS Scroll Anchoring Module Level 1

https://www.w3.org/TR/2020/WD-css-scroll-anchoring-1-20200211/

Abstract

Changes in DOM elements above the visible region of a scrolling box can result in the page moving while the user is in the middle of consuming the content. 

This spec proposes a mechanism to mitigate this jarring user experience by keeping track of the position of an anchor node and adjusting the scroll offset accordingly. 

This spec also proposes an API for web developers to opt-out of this behavior.  CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, etc.
