Scroll / Jump to id without jQuery
JavascriptHtmlScrollJavascript Problem Overview
I have search a lot of topics for a usable solution.
But dont found something. Most scripts are just too cluttered for my purposes.
Seeking a solution based only on Javascript. In my project it is not possible to use jQuery.
I need a jump or scroll to id.
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
//here has to go function
</script>
</head>
MY call is:
<a onclick="function_call+targetname"><img src="image1" alt="name1"></a>
<a onclick="function_call+targetname"><img src="image2" alt="name2"></a>
<a onclick="function_call+targetname"><img src="image3" alt="name3"></a>
So i have to use onclick event in my navigation.
Now onclick i want to jump or scroll to a div id in my page:
<div id="target1">some content</div>
<div id="target2">some content</div>
<div id="target3">some content</div>
It is very important: html anchor not work unfortunately. Otherwise everything would be pretty easy.
I have use bevore simply:
onclick="window.location.hash='target';"
But i have restrictions in eBay. They dont allow this simple code.
Also I cant call an external javascript (only use JS in head area). Furthermore, it is not possible to use : "cookie.", "cookie", "replace (", IFRAME, META or includes) and base href.
It can not be hard with a bit of JS jump to a specific point. I do not need special effects.
Does anyone have a slim and helpful solution?

Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
Maybe You should try scrollIntoView.
document.getElementById('id').scrollIntoView();
This will scroll to your Element.
Solution 2 - Javascript
if you want smooth scrolling add behavior configuration.
document.getElementById('id').scrollIntoView({
behavior: 'smooth'
});
Solution 3 - Javascript
Add the function:
function scrollToForm() {
document.querySelector('#form').scrollIntoView({behavior: 'smooth'});
}
Trigger the function:
<a href="javascript: scrollToForm();">Jump to form</a>
Solution 4 - Javascript
on anchor tag use href and not onclick
<a href="#target1">asdf<a>
And div:
<div id="target1">some content</div>
Solution 5 - Javascript
below code might help you
var objControl=document.getElementById("divid");
objControl.scrollTop = objControl.offsetTop;
Solution 6 - Javascript
Oxi's answer is just wrong.¹
What you want is:
var container = document.body,
element = document.getElementById('ElementID');
container.scrollTop = element.offsetTop;
Working example:
(function (){
var i = 20, l = 20, html = '';
while (i--){
html += '<div id="DIV' +(l-i)+ '">DIV ' +(l-i)+ '</div>';
html += '<a onclick="document.body.scrollTop=document.getElementById(\'DIV' +i+ '\').offsetTop">';
html += '[ Scroll to #DIV' +i+ ' ]</a>';
html += '<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />';
}
document.write( html );
})();

Solution 7 - Javascript
This is what worked for me
-
Give id to each section
-
In Javascript file create a function
-
Call that function using onclick in the nav links
let About = () =>document.getElementById('About').scrollIntoView();
.about-link {
min-height: 500px;
}
<div class="about-link">
<a class="nav-link" aria-current="page" onclick="About()">About</a>
</div>
<section id="About">
Here is about section
</section>
Solution 8 - Javascript
I'm super surprised no one has shown you a way to do it without even using JavaScript code.
Add an ID to your element, then in your link tag add the href with the ID Name
Example
<a href="#AboutMe">About Me</a>
<div id="AboutMe">
// Some code
</div>
> Note: This is only to jump, not to scroll!
