I have the following HTML with CSS .container { overflow: scroll; } etc.

<body>
<div class="container">
  <div id="markers"></div>
  <img id="map" src="/img/map.jpg"/>
</div>
</body>

map.jpg is very large and I want to scroll to a fixed position like this:

$(function(){
  console.log($('.container').scrollTop());
  $('.container').scrollTop(1000);
  console.log($('.container').scrollTop());
  console.log($('.container').scrollLeft());
  $('.container').scrollLeft(1750);
  console.log($('.container').scrollLeft());
});

scrollLeft works fine but scrollTop doesn't. Below is the console output.

0
0
0
1750

I've been searching for half an hour but still don't know how to fix it...


UPDATE: CSS about .container #markers and #map

.container { overflow: scroll; width: 100%; max-width: 100%; height: 100%; max-height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
#map { width: 5000px; max-width: 5000px; height: 2907px; max-height: 2907px; cursor: crosshair; }
#markers { position: relative; top: 0; left: 0; width: 0; height: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
