如何滚动元素以为扩展元素留出空间

Question

I've got the following div hierarchy in my page!

<div id="bill-list">
    <div id="bill-panel">
    <!-- Bill -->
         <div class="bill">
         <!-- Bill description - Holds Bill details -->
         <div class="bill-description">
            <div class="bill-info bill-number"><span>000A</span></div>
            <div class="bill-info table-name"><span>TABLE 78</span></div>
            <div class="bill-info room-number"><span>A678</span></div>
                            <div class="bill-info amount"><span>76.00 USD</span></div>
            <div class="bill-remove-icon"></div>
         </div>

         <!-- Bill Item list -->
         <div class="bill-item-list">

         <!-- Item : This is a sample element & will be cleared when system loads -->
         <div class="bill-item">

            <!-- Item image -->
            <div class="bill-item-img"></div>
            <!-- Item description -->
            <div class="bill-item-description">
            <div class="bill-item-name">

            <!-- Item Name -->
            <p class="bill-item-name-left">Normal Cofee</p>
            <!-- Item Price -->
            <p class="bill-item-name-right">170.00</p>
            <div class="clear"></div>
        </div>
        <!-- Total item price -->
        <div class="bill-item-price">
        <span>170.00 USD</span>
        </div>

        <!-- Item Quantity -->
        <div class="bill-item-amount">
        <span>1</span>
    </div>

    </div>
    <!-- Increas & Decrease item Quantity -->
    <div class="bill-amount-selection">
    <a class="amount-increase" href="#"></a>
    <a class="amount-decrease" href="#"></a>
    </div>
    </div>

    <!-- Remove bill link -->
    <div class="item-drop-point"></div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>                      

</div>

I'm designing a web application where I load the bills and create each bill using jQuery. So I create each element of bill and append them to the bill panel! I've enabled scrolling of the bill list using the following code. I've used dragscroller as the scrolling plugin.

$('#bill-list').dragscrollable({dragSelector: '#bill-panel', acceptPropagatedEvent: true});

And the bill has a click event of it's own where I expand the bill using jQuery slide toggle.

$(document).on('click',".bill-description",function()
{
    //close all bills 
    $(".bill-item-list").not($(this).next(".bill-item-list")).slideUp(600);
    //open the clicked bills
    $(this).next(".bill-item-list").slideToggle(600);

});

The above code closes any other element that is open and expand the clicked bill. Following is the CSS used for the elements.

#bill-list {
  max-height: 581px;
  overflow: hidden;
}
  #bill-panel {
  max-height: 575px;
}
.bill {
    width: 100%;
    margin-top: 2px;
}
.bill-description {
    height: 30px;
    font-family: MyriadProReg;
    background-color: rgb(214, 214, 214);
    cursor: pointer;
}

All these effects work fine. The problem is when I expand an element that is in the bottom of the bill panel, it gets expanded, but I have to manually scroll to view the expanded section. I've go no idea on how to fix it!

What I need is a help to do the following. There is a list of bills that can be scrolled. Each bill has around 5 bill items. and when I expand an element at the bottom of the bill panel, bills should auto scroll to show the expanded bill.

Have you tried using the jQuery scrollTo() plugin? It may be helpful in this case. Info and download here .
