Page splitters should scroll into view when opened

[michaeltwofish]

If a user clicks a page splitter near the bottom of the window, it will scroll off the bottom. The user obviously wants to see the contents of the splitter, so it should scroll into view. Nothing should move if the splitter is already in view.

I had a quick play with jQuery's scrollTop function, but couldn't get it to do anything useful in Firefox (may be my fault).

The  intoViewport plugin scrolls the splitter into view perfectly when added as a show() parameter to the tabs() call in admin.js but has an ugly jumping effect when closing the tab.

[anon]

document.getElementById('tab_publish_controls_1').scrollIntoView(0);
and
document.getElementById('tab_publish_controls_2').scrollIntoView(0);

but i dunno where to put these

Unfortunately, it appears to be GPL, too.

scrollIntoView() works, but it's more of a jump into view, which is kind of jarring.

these lines are working just fine (i just dunno where to put them)

maybe you can add a smoothing effect using in-between jquery trickery (imo not necessary)
