Smooth scroll to div id jQuery

Javascript Problem Overview

I've been trying to get a scroll to div id jquery code to work correctly. Based on another stack overflow question i tried the following

DEMO http://jsfiddle.net/kevinPHPkevin/8tLdq/

$('#myButton').click(function() {
   $.scrollTo($('#myDiv'), 1000);
});

But it didn't work. It just snaps to the div. I also tried

$('#myButton').click(function(event) {
     event.preventDefault();
   $.scrollTo($('#myDiv'), 1000);
});

With no progress.

Javascript Solutions

Solution 1 - Javascript

You need to animate the html, body

DEMO http://jsfiddle.net/kevinPHPkevin/8tLdq/1/

$("#button").click(function() {
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: $("#myDiv").offset().top
    }, 2000);
});

Solution 2 - Javascript

If you want to override standard href-id navigation on the page without changing the HTML markup for smooth scrolling, use this (example):

// handle links with @href started with '#' only
$(document).on('click', 'a[href^="#"]', function(e) {
    // target element id
    var id = $(this).attr('href');

    // target element
    var $id = $(id);
    if ($id.length === 0) {
        return;
    }

    // prevent standard hash navigation (avoid blinking in IE)
    e.preventDefault();

    // top position relative to the document
    var pos = $id.offset().top;

    // animated top scrolling
    $('body, html').animate({scrollTop: pos});
});

Solution 3 - Javascript

here is my 2 cents:

Javascript:

$('.scroll').click(function() {
    $('body').animate({
        scrollTop: eval($('#' + $(this).attr('target')).offset().top - 70)
    }, 1000);
});

Html:

<a class="scroll" target="contact">Contact</a>

and the target:

<h2 id="contact">Contact</h2>

Solution 4 - Javascript

Plain JS:

Can be done in plain JS if you use modern browsers.

document
    .getElementById("range-calculator")
    .scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" });

Browser support is a bit issue, but modern browsers support it.

Solution 5 - Javascript

one example more:

HTML link:

<a href="#featured" class="scrollTo">Learn More</a>

JS:

  $(".scrollTo").on('click', function(e) {
     e.preventDefault();
     var target = $(this).attr('href');
     $('html, body').animate({
       scrollTop: ($(target).offset().top)
     }, 2000);
  });

HTML anchor:

  <div id="featured">My content here</div>

Solution 6 - Javascript

This code will be useful for any internal link on the web

    $("[href^='#']").click(function() {
        id=$(this).attr("href")
        $('html, body').animate({
            scrollTop: $(id).offset().top
        }, 2000);
    });

Solution 7 - Javascript

My solution for both Vanilla JS and jQuery

Vanilla JS:

document
    .querySelector("#myDiv")
    .scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" });

jQuery:

You need to animate the html, body

$("#myButton").click(function() {
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: $("#myDiv").offset().top
    }, 2000);
});

CSS:

html {
  scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

Other properties of scroll-behavior

scroll-behavior: auto|smooth|initial|inherit;

Solution 8 - Javascript

Here's what I use:

<!-- jquery smooth scroll to id's -->	
<script>
$(function() {
  $('a[href*=#]:not([href=#])').click(function() {
    if (location.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') == this.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') && location.hostname == this.hostname) {
      var target = $(this.hash);
      target = target.length ? target : $('[name=' + this.hash.slice(1) +']');
      if (target.length) {
        $('html,body').animate({
          scrollTop: target.offset().top
        }, 500);
        return false;
      }
    }
  });
});
</script>

The beauty with this one is you can use an unlimited number of hash-links and corresponding ids without having to execute a new script for each.

If you’re using WordPress, insert the code in your theme’s footer.php file right before the closing body tag </body>.

If you have no access to the theme files, you can embed the code right inside the post/page editor (you must be editing the post in Text mode) or on a Text widget that will load up on all pages.

If you’re using any other CMS or just HTML, you can insert the code in a section that loads up on all pages right before the closing body tag </body>.

Hope that helps, and let me know if you have questions about it.

Solution 9 - Javascript

are you sure you are loading the jQuery scrollTo Plugin file?

you might be getting a object: method not found "scrollTo" error in the console.

the scrollTO method is not a native jquery method. to use it you need to include the jquery scroll To plugin file.

ref: http://flesler.blogspot.in/2009/05/jqueryscrollto-142-released.html http://flesler.blogspot.in/2007/10/jqueryscrollto.html

soln: add this in the head section.

<script src="\\path\to\the\jquery.scrollTo.js file"></script>

Solution 10 - Javascript

This script is a improvement of the script from Vector. I have made a little change to it. So this script works for every link with the class page-scroll in it.

At first without easing:

$("a.page-scroll").click(function() {
    var targetDiv = $(this).attr('href');
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: $(targetDiv).offset().top
    }, 1000);
});

For easing you will need Jquery UI:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

Add this to the script:

'easeOutExpo'

Final

$("a.page-scroll").click(function() {
    var targetDiv = $(this).attr('href');
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: $(targetDiv).offset().top
    }, 1000, 'easeOutExpo');
});

All the easings you can find here: Cheat Sheet.

This is the simplest.Source-https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_element_scrollintoview.asp

var elmnt = document.getElementById("content");
elmnt.scrollIntoView();

Solution 12 - Javascript

Here is my solution to smooth scroll to div / anchor using jQuery in case you have a fixed header so that it doesn't scroll underneath it. Also it works if you link it from other page.

Just replace ".site-header" to div that contains your header.

$(function() {

$('a[href*="#"]:not([href="#"])').click(function() {
var headerheight = $(".site-header").outerHeight();
if (location.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') == this.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') && location.hostname == this.hostname) {
  var target = $(this.hash);
  target = target.length ? target : $('[name=' + this.hash.slice(1) +']');

  if (target.length) {
    $('html, body').animate({
      scrollTop: (target.offset().top - headerheight)
    }, 1000);
    return false;
  }
}
});

//Executed on page load with URL containing an anchor tag.
if($(location.href.split("#")[1])) {
var headerheight = $(".site-header").outerHeight();
  var target = $('#'+location.href.split("#")[1]);
  if (target.length) {
    $('html,body').animate({
      scrollTop: target.offset().top - headerheight
    }, 1);
    return false;
  }
}
});

Solution 13 - Javascript

You can do it by using the following simple jQuery code.

Tutorial, Demo, and Source code can be found from here - Smooth scroll to div using jQuery

JavaScript:

$(function() {
    $('a[href*=#]:not([href=#])').click(function() {
        var target = $(this.hash);
        target = target.length ? target : $('[name=' + this.hash.substr(1) +']');
        if (target.length) {
            $('html,body').animate({
              scrollTop: target.offset().top
            }, 1000);
            return false;
        }
    });
});

HTML:

<a href="#section1">Go Section 1</a>
<div id="section1">
    <!-- Content goes here -->
</div>

Solution 14 - Javascript

Here I tried this, that work great for me.

$('a[href*="#"]').on('click', function (e) {
	e.preventDefault();

	$('html, body').animate({
		scrollTop: $($(this).attr('href')).offset().top
	}, 500, 'linear');
});

HTML:

 <a href="#fast-food" class="active" data-toggle="tab" >FAST FOOD</a>

<div id="fast-food">
<p> Scroll Here... </p>
  </div>

Solution 15 - Javascript

This works to me.

<div id="demo">
        <h2>Demo</h2>
</div>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script>
	$(document).ready(function () {
		// Handler for .ready() called.
		$('html, body').animate({
			scrollTop: $('#demo').offset().top
		}, 'slow');
	});
</script>
