I have situation similar to the one on image below, where DIV1 have overflow-y: scroll and one of child divs have class active. I don't know his position nor the offset from top. How can I find position of child div inside DIV 1 and scroll so far that child with active class is visible.
I don't mind if you use jQuery or plain js. But I prefer jQuery.

Reset to default 5You have to use .position() method of jQuery. http://api.jquery./position/
Providing your div1 has position: relative set this method will give you offset from the top-left corner of your div1, so
$('.div1').get(0).scrollTop($('.div1 div.active').position().top);
should do the trick.
