Scroll to the ele element

ele.scrollIntoView();

Smoothly scroll

The `behavior` option isn't supported in IE and Safari.
ele.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' });
Good to know
The similar CSS property which provides the same functionality is
scroll-behavior: smooth;
``

It [is not supported](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/scroll-behavior#Browser_compatibility) in IE and Safari.
