How can I scroll to a given time slot by using JavaScript in a Kendo UI Scheduler?

Solution

The following example demonstrates how to achieve the desired scenario.

    <div style="width: 50%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
      <div id="scheduler"></div>
      <h3>Scroll the scheduler content to given hour:</h3>
      <button class="k-button k-button-md k-button-rectangle k-rounded-md k-button-solid k-button-solid-base" onclick="scrollToHour(10)">Scroll to 10 AM</button>
      <button class="k-button k-button-md k-button-rectangle k-rounded-md k-button-solid k-button-solid-base" onclick="scrollToHour(22)">Scroll to 10 PM</button>
    </div>
    <script>

      function scrollToHour(hour) {
        var time = new Date();
        time.setHours(hour);
        time.setMinutes(0);
        time.setSeconds(0);
        time.setMilliseconds(0);

        var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
        var contentDiv = scheduler.element.find("div.k-scheduler-content");
        var rows = contentDiv.find("tr");

        for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
          var element = $(rows[i]);
          var slot = scheduler.slotByElement(element);

          var slotTime = kendo.toString(slot.startDate, "HH:mm");
          var targetTime = kendo.toString(time, "HH:mm");

          if (targetTime === slotTime) {
            contentDiv.scrollTop(0);

            var elementTop = element.offset().top;
            var containerTop = contentDiv.offset().top;

            contentDiv.scrollTop( elementTop - containerTop );
          }
        };
      }

      $(function() {
        $("#scheduler").kendoScheduler({
          date: new Date("2022/6/13"),
          startTime: new Date("2022/6/13 07:00 AM"),
