I’m trying to scroll automatically to a specific row in a html-table, displayed with the template. Usually this is no problem, when you mark each row with `<div>` and use a little JS in the head section - but the dashboard seems to filter such marks. It also deletes marks such as …

Now it’s looking this way:

But I want it to display this way:

Any suggestions how to fix this? 🙂

Are you on dashboard 1 or 2?  
Which table object are you using: pure HTML? Tabulator? v-data-table? `ui-table` node?

Tabulator supports programmatic scrolling (`table.scrollToRow()` ). You can instantiate it in your template node, or (If you are on dashboard 2), use the node `omrid01/node-red-dashboard-2-table-tabulator`.

In dashboard 1 you can use the `ui table` node, which is based on Tabulator
