Scroll to particular component using af:scrollComponentIntoViewBehavior tag in ADF Faces


You all must have seen HTML Anchor links, this is actually called link within page and used to navigate between page sections
Same as HTML anchor tag ADF Faces has <af:scrollComponentIntoViewBehavior> tag that allows user to jump to a particular component on page

See what docs says-
The scrollComponentIntoViewBehavior tag is a declarative way to have a command component (e.g. a button) scroll a component into view and optionally set focus in it. This tag will be ignored for any server-rendered components, as it is only supported for the rich client.
The scrollComponentIntoViewBehavior tag cancels server-side event delivery automatically - so actionListener or action attributes on the parent component will be ignored. This cannot be disabled. Developers that need to also trigger server-side functionality can add an additional client listener that uses AdfCustomEvent and af:serverListener to deliver a server-side event. 

So in this post i am using 5 images and 5 buttons to navigate to each image, set clientComponent property of all af:image to true because this tag is supported only by client rendered components.

Dropped scrollComponentIntoViewBehavior under all buttons and provided id of respective af:image component
