How can I scroll to and possibly highlight text within div with overflow: true?

Question

I have a div that contains some text content and I'd like to scroll and possibly highlight this within Javascript.

I found this link that describes how to scroll an entire page, but it doesn't seem to work when only using a div.

Update

I just attempted 2 approaches. Only the uncommented one worked, but it didn't really scroll enough. When rendered in IE the scrollbar hides the text.

    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        function LoadIt() {
             $("#myHeaders").scrollTop($("*:contains('pphosted'):last").offset().top);
           // $(window).scrollTop($("#myHeaders:contains('pphosted'):last").offset().top)
        }

    </script>
    <div onclick="javascript:LoadIt()">BUTTON</div>
    <div  id="myHeaders" style="width: 222px; height: 222px; overflow: scroll;">

Answer 1

from that post, you can replace the selector '*' with your div selector. Given that the div has an id="search_div", the following should work.

$(window).scrollTop($("#search_div:contains('Are you a Lib Dem or Tory'):last").offset().top);
