scroll a window to the right in javascript

In order to scroll a window to the right in JavaScript, you can use the scrollBy() method with positive values for the horizontal scrolling amount. Here's an example code snippet:

index.tsx
// Get the current scroll position of the window
var currentScrollPos = window.scrollX;

// Scroll the window to the right by 100 pixels
window.scrollBy(100, 0);

// Alternatively, you can also specify the new scroll position directly
window.scrollTo(currentScrollPos + 100, 0);

The scrollBy() method takes two arguments: the amount of pixels to scroll horizontally and vertically, respectively. In this case, we're only interested in horizontal scrolling, so we specify 100 as the first argument and 0 as the second argument.

If you want to scroll to a specific position instead of scrolling by a certain amount, you can use the scrollTo() method instead. In this case, we first get the current scroll position using scrollX, add 100 pixels to it, and then pass the result as the first argument to scrollTo(). The second argument is again set to 0, since we only want to scroll horizontally.
