How can I smoothly scroll to an element using javascript scrollintoview? or Why isn't javascript scro

Formal answer: The javascript scrollintoview method does support smooth scrolling via the `behavior: 'smooth'` option, but implementation varies across browsers.

For consistent behavior, consider using a library like `scroll-into-view-if-needed` or adding the CSS property `scroll-behavior: smooth` to your container.

Mobile compatibility is indeed inconsistent. Testing on real devices is recommended.
