Scrolling in one browser will also scroll in another browser

[Mikael Magnusson]

Hi,

Sorry for the confusing subject but this is somewhat weird and I'm hoping you might be able to help me.

I have a nodejs application with express and socket.io (and a mongodb/mongoose database). The front end is a Polymer based app.

The problem is that if I open two browsers (or tabs) against the nodejs address (http://localhost:9000/) and start to scroll in one of them the other scrolls along, in almost perfect sync. I have tried open up Safari as a third browser and then I have all three scrolling in sync.

Does anyone have any ides as to why this is happening? I'm sort of lost and I have not found anything on the web regarding this either.

Hi,

Having spent a couple of hours searching for a fix I finally wrote the post below, and then I immediately found the answer: http://www.browsersync.io/

I removed it and now everything is working as I want.

Sorry for the spam.
