jQuery scroll to ID from different page

Question

I was trying to use jQuery s page scroll inside some pages and could successfully make a smooth page scroll  The only problem I have now is when attempting to do that from different page  What I mean by that is if I click on a link in a page  it should load the new page and then scroll to the specific div element   Here is the code I used to scrolling inside the page   var jump function e             prevent the  normal  behaviour which would be a  hard  jump        e preventDefault         Get the target    var target     this  attr  href         perform animated scrolling       html body   animate                    get top-position of target-element and set it as scroll target            scrollTop    target  offset   top      scrolldelay  2 seconds      2000 function                     attach the hash   jumptarget  to the pageurl            location hash   target               document  ready function               a href       bind  click   jump          return false        I hope the idea is clear   Thanks   Very important Note  This code I posted above works great inside the same page  but what I m after is to click a link from one page and go to another one and then scroll to the target  I hope it is clear now  Thanks

On the link put a hash    lt a href  otherpage html elementID  gt Jump lt  a gt    And on other page  you can do      html body   animate     scrollTop    window location hash  offset   top       On other page  you should have element with id set to elementID to scroll to  Of course you can change the name of it

I made a reusable plugin that can do this    I left the binding to events outside the plugin itself because I feel it is too intrusive for such a little helper      jQuery function                       This small plugin will scrollTo a target  smoothly               First argument   time to scroll to the target        Second argument   set the hash in the current url yes or no               fn smoothScroll   function t  setHash               Set time to t variable to if undefined 500 for 500ms transition         t   t    500          setHash    typeof setHash     undefined     true   setHash              Return this as a proper jQuery plugin should         return this each function                    html  body   animate                   scrollTop    this  offset   top                t                   Lets set the hash to the current ID since if an event was prevented this doesn t get done             if  this id  amp  amp  setHash                    window location hash   this id                                          Now next  we can onload just do this  check for a hash and if its there try to use it directly as a selector for jQuery  Now I couldn t easily test this at the time but I made similar stuff for production sites not long ago  if this doesn t immediatly work let me know and I ll look into the solution I got there    script should be within an onload section   if  window location hash        window scrollTo 0 0         window location hash  smoothScroll        Next we bind the plugin to onclick of anchors which only contain a hash in their href attribute    script should be within an onload section      a href         click function e        e preventDefault             this  attr  href    smoothScroll          Since jQuery doesn t do anything if the match itself fails we have a nice fallback for when a target on a page can t be found yay  o   Update  Alternative onclick handler to scroll to the top when theres only a hash      a href         click function e        e preventDefault        var href     this  attr  href            In this case we have only a hash  so maybe we want to scroll to the top of the page      if href length     1    href    body           href  smoothScroll          Here is also a simple jsfiddle that demonstrates the scrolling within page  onload is a little hard to set up      http   jsfiddle net sg3s bZnWN   Update 2  So you might get in trouble with the window already scrolling to the element onload  This fixes that  window scrollTo 0 0   it just scrolls the page to the left top  Added it to the code snippet above

I would like to recommend using the scrollTo plugin   http   demos flesler com jquery scrollTo   You can the set scrollto by jquery css selector      html body   scrollTo    target   800      I have had great luck with the accuracy of this plugin and its methods  where other methods of achieving the same effect like using  offset   or  position   have failed to be cross browser for me in the past  Not saying you can t use such methods  I m sure there is a way to do it cross browser  I ve just found scrollTo to be more reliable

Combining answers by Petr and Sarfraz  I arrive at the following    On page1 html     lt a href  page2 html elementID  gt Jump lt  a gt    On page2 html     lt script type  text javascript  gt        document  ready function                html  body   hide             if  window location hash                setTimeout function                        html  body   scrollTop 0  show                       html  body   animate                       scrollTop    window location hash  offset   top                        1000                 0                     else                  html  body   show                       lt  script gt

You basically need to do this   include the target hash into the link pointing to the other page  href  quot other page html section quot   in your ready handler clear the hard jump scroll normally dictated by the hash and as soon as possible scroll the page back to the top and call jump   - you ll need to do this asynchronously in jump   if no event is given  make location hash the target also this technique might not catch the jump in time  so you ll better hide the html body right away and show it back once you scrolled it back to zero  This is your code with the above added  var jump function e       if  e          e preventDefault           var target     this  attr  quot href quot        else         var target   location hash              html body   animate              scrollTop    target  offset   top      2000 function               location hash   target                html  body   hide       document  ready function            a href       bind  quot click quot   jump        if  location hash           setTimeout function                   html  body   scrollTop 0  show                jump               0        else             html  body   show               Verified working in Chrome Safari  Firefox and Opera  I don t know about IE though

I ve written something that detects if the page contains the anchor that was clicked on  and if not  goes to the normal page  otherwise it scrolls to the specific section      a href         on  click  function e         var target   this hash      var  target     target       console log targetname       var targetname   target slice 1  target length        if document getElementById targetname     null             e preventDefault                 html  body   stop   animate            scrollTop    target offset   top-120   or the height of your fixed navigation          900   swing   function              window location hash   target
