copied!<p><strong>Update April 2018:</strong> There's now <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollIntoView" rel="noreferrer">a native way to do this</a>:</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="#"]').forEach(anchor => { anchor.addEventListener('click', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); document.querySelector(this.getAttribute('href')).scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' }); }); }); </code></pre> <p>This is currently only supported in the most bleeding edge browsers.</p> <hr> <p>For older browser support, you can use this jQuery technique:</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>$(document).on('click', 'a[href^="#"]', function (event) { event.preventDefault(); $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $($.attr(this, 'href')).offset().top }, 500); }); </code></pre> <p>And here's the fiddle: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/9SDLw/" rel="noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/9SDLw/</a></p> <hr> <p>If your target element does not have an ID, and you're linking to it by its <code>name</code>, use this:</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>$('a[href^="#"]').click(function () { $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $('[name="' + $.attr(this, 'href').substr(1) + '"]').offset().top }, 500); return false; }); </code></pre> <hr> <p>For increased performance, you should cache that <code>$('html, body')</code> selector, so that it doesn't run <em>every single time</em> an anchor is clicked:</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>var $root = $('html, body'); $('a[href^="#"]').click(function () { $root.animate({ scrollTop: $( $.attr(this, 'href') ).offset().top }, 500); return false; }); </code></pre> <hr> <p>If you want the URL to be updated, do it within the <code>animate</code> callback:</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>var $root = $('html, body'); $('a[href^="#"]').click(function() { var href = $.attr(this, 'href'); $root.animate({ scrollTop: $(href).offset().top }, 500, function () { window.location.hash = href; }); return false; }); </code></pre>
