I have this input
element:
<input type="text" class="textfield" value="" id="subject" name="subject">
Then I have some other elements, like other tag's & <textarea>
tag's, etc...
When the user clicks on the <input id="#subject">
, the page should scroll to the page's last element, and it should do so with a nice animation (It should be a scroll to bottom and not to top).
The last item of the page is a submit
button with #submit
:
<input type="submit" class="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Ok, Done.">
The animation should not be too fast and should be fluid.
I am running the latest jQuery version. I prefer to not install any plugin but to use the default jQuery features to achieve this.
scrollTo
was disabled for me because of a chrome plugin, not sure which. - anyone Assuming you have a button with the id button
, try this example:
$("#button").click(function() {
$([document.documentElement, document.body]).animate({
scrollTop: $("#elementtoScrollToID").offset().top
}, 2000);
});
I got the code from the article Smoothly scroll to an element without a jQuery plugin. And I have tested it on the example below.
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

$("#click").click(function (){

.scrollTop(…)
instead of .animate({scrollTop: …}, …)
. - anyone jQuery .scrollTo(): View - Demo, API, Source
I wrote this lightweight plugin to make page/element scrolling much easier. It's flexible where you could pass in a target element or specified value. Perhaps this could be part of jQuery's next official release, what do you think?
Examples Usage:
$('body').scrollTo('#target'); // Scroll screen to target element
$('body').scrollTo(500); // Scroll screen 500 pixels down
$('#scrollable').scrollTo(100); // Scroll individual element 100 pixels down
Options:
scrollTarget: A element, string, or number which indicates desired scroll position.
offsetTop: A number that defines additional spacing above scroll target.
duration: A string or number determining how long the animation will run.
easing: A string indicating which easing function to use for the transition.
complete: A function to call once the animation is complete.

scrollTo is not a function
- anyone If you are not much interested in the smooth scroll effect and just interested in scrolling to a particular element, you don't require some jQuery function for this. Javascript has got your case covered:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/element.scrollIntoView
So all you need to do is: $("selector").get(0).scrollIntoView();
.get(0)
is used because we want to retrieve the JavaScript's DOM element and not the JQuery's DOM element.
now is possible to scroll with animation, passing scroll options (see MDN). You can even control the block position. It seems to have large support, except for Safari
$("selector").get(0).scrollIntoView({behavior: 'smooth'});

But in some cases, you may have to convert the value to an integer. Strangely, the returned value from $("...").offset().top
is sometimes in float
.
Use: parseInt($("....").offset().top)
For example:
$("#button").click(function() {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: parseInt($("#elementtoScrollToID").offset().top)
}, 2000);
});

A compact version of "animate" solution.
$.fn.scrollTo = function (speed) {
if (typeof(speed) === 'undefined')
speed = 1000;
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: parseInt($(this).offset().top)
}, speed);
};
Basic usage: $('#your_element').scrollTo();
Answered 2023-09-20 20:26:18
With this solution you do not need any plugin and there's no setup required besides placing the script before your closing </body>
tag.
$("a[href^='#']").on("click", function(e) {
$("html, body").animate({
scrollTop: $($(this).attr("href")).offset().top
}, 1000);
return false;
});
if ($(window.location.hash).length > 1) {
$("html, body").animate({
scrollTop: $(window.location.hash).offset().top
}, 1000);
}
On load, if there is a hash in the address, we scroll to it.
And - whenever you click an a
link with an href
hash e.g. #top
, we scroll to it.
##Edit 2020
If you want a pure JavaScript solution: you could perhaps instead use something like:
var _scrollToElement = function (selector) {
try {
document.querySelector(selector).scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' });
} catch (e) {
console.warn(e);
}
}
var _scrollToHashesInHrefs = function () {
document.querySelectorAll("a[href^='#']").forEach(function (el) {
el.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
_scrollToElement(el.getAttribute('href'));
return false;
})
})
if (window.location.hash) {
_scrollToElement(window.location.hash);
}

If you are only handling scrolling to an input element, you can use focus()
. For example, if you wanted to scroll to the first visible input:
$(':input:visible').first().focus();
Or the first visible input in an container with class .error
:
$('.error :input:visible').first().focus();

If you want to scroll within an overflow container (instead of $('html, body')
answered above), working also with absolute positioning, this is the way to do :

After finding the way to get my code work, I think I should make thing a bit clear: For using:
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#div1").offset().top
}, 2000);
you need to be on top of the page since $("#div1").offset().top
will return different numbers for different positions you scroll to. If you already scrolled out of the top, you need to specify the exact pageY
value (see pageY
definition here: https://javascript.info/coordinates).
So now, the problem is to calculate the pageY
value of one element. Below is an example in case the scroll container is the body:
function getPageY(id) {
let elem = document.getElementById(id);
let box = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
var body = document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0];
return box.top + body.scrollTop; // for window scroll: box.top + window.scrollY;
}
The above function returns the same number even if you scrolled somewhere. Now, to scroll back to that element:
$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: getPageY('div1') }, "slow");

In most cases, it would be best to use a plugin. Seriously. I'm going to tout mine here. Of course there are others, too. But please check if they really avoid the pitfalls for which you'd want a plugin in the first place - not all of them do.
I have written about the reasons for using a plugin elsewhere. In a nutshell, the one liner underpinning most answers here
$('html, body').animate( { scrollTop: $target.offset().top }, duration );
is bad UX.
The animation doesn't respond to user actions. It carries on even if the user clicks, taps, or tries to scroll.
If the starting point of the animation is close to the target element, the animation is painfully slow.
If the target element is placed near the bottom of the page, it can't be scrolled to the top of the window. The scroll animation stops abruptly then, in mid motion.
To handle these issues (and a bunch of others), you can use a plugin of mine, jQuery.scrollable. The call then becomes
$( window ).scrollTo( targetPosition );
and that's it. Of course, there are more options.
With regard to the target position, $target.offset().top
does the job in most cases. But please be aware that the returned value doesn't take a border on the html
element into account (see this demo). If you need the target position to be accurate under any circumstances, it is better to use
targetPosition = $( window ).scrollTop() + $target[0].getBoundingClientRect().top;
That works even if a border on the html
element is set.

This is my approach abstracting the ID's and href's, using a generic class selector
$(function() {
// Generic selector to be used anywhere
$(".js-scroll-to").click(function(e) {
// Get the href dynamically
var destination = $(this).attr('href');
// Prevent href=“#” link from changing the URL hash (optional)
e.preventDefault();
// Animate scroll to destination
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(destination).offset().top
}, 500);
});
});

Very simple and easy to use custom jQuery plugin. Just add the attribute scroll=
to your clickable element and set its value to the selector you want to scroll to.
Like so: <a scroll="#product">Click me</a>
. It can be used on any element.
(function($){
$.fn.animateScroll = function(){
console.log($('[scroll]'));
$('[scroll]').click(function(){
selector = $($(this).attr('scroll'));
console.log(selector);
console.log(selector.offset().top);
$('html body').animate(
{scrollTop: (selector.offset().top)}, //- $(window).scrollTop()
1000
);
});
}
})(jQuery);
// RUN
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$().animateScroll();
});
// IN HTML EXAMPLE
// RUN ONCLICK ON OBJECT WITH ATTRIBUTE SCROLL=".SELECTOR"
// <a scroll="#product">Click To Scroll</a>

Example usage:
// scroll to "#target-element":

// scroll to 80 pixels above first element with class ".invalid":
$.scrollTo(".invalid", -80);
// scroll a container with id "#my-container" to 300 pixels from its top:
$.scrollTo(300, 0, "slow", "#my-container");
The function's code:
/**
* Scrolls the container to the target position minus the offset
*
* @param target - the destination to scroll to, can be a jQuery object
* jQuery selector, or numeric position
* @param offset - the offset in pixels from the target position, e.g.
* pass -80 to scroll to 80 pixels above the target
* @param speed - the scroll speed in milliseconds, or one of the
* strings "fast" or "slow". default: 500
* @param container - a jQuery object or selector for the container to
* be scrolled. default: "html, body"
*/
jQuery.scrollTo = function (target, offset, speed, container) {
if (isNaN(target)) {
if (!(target instanceof jQuery))
target = $(target);
target = parseInt(target.offset().top);
}
container = container || "html, body";
if (!(container instanceof jQuery))
container = $(container);
speed = speed || 500;
offset = offset || 0;
container.animate({
scrollTop: target + offset

When the user clicks on that input with #subject, the page should scroll to the last element of the page with a nice animation. It should be a scroll to bottom and not to top.
The last item of the page is a submit button with #submit
$('#subject').click(function()
{
$('#submit').focus();
$('#subject').focus();
});
This will first scroll down to #submit
then restore the cursor back to the input that was clicked, which mimics a scroll down, and works on most browsers. It also doesn't require jQuery as it can be written in pure JavaScript.
Can this fashion of using focus
function mimic animation in a better way, through chaining focus
calls. I haven't tested this theory, but it would look something like this:
<style>
#F > *
{
width: 100%;
}
</style>
<form id="F" >
<div id="child_1"> .. </div>
<div id="child_2"> .. </div>

For what it's worth, this is how I managed to achieve such behavior for a general element which can be inside a DIV with scrolling. In our case we don't scroll the full body, but just particular elements with overflow: auto; within a larger layout.
It creates a fake input of the height of the target element, and then puts a focus to it, and the browser will take care about the rest no matter how deep within the scrollable hierarchy you are. Works like a charm.
var $scrollTo = $('#someId'),
inputElem = $('<input type="text"></input>');
$scrollTo.prepend(inputElem);
inputElem.css({
position: 'absolute',
width: '1px',
height: $scrollTo.height()
});
inputElem.focus();
inputElem.remove();
