Here is the solution that worked for me  This is a generic function which works for all of the a tags referring to a named a     a href       on  click   function event         event preventDefault         var name     this  attr  href         var target      a name      name substring 1                   html body   animate   scrollTop    target  offset   top     slow           Note 1  Make sure that you use double quotes   in your html  If you use single quotes  change the above part of the code to var target      a name      name substring 1            Note 2  In some cases  especially when you use the sticky bar from the bootstrap  the named a will hide beneath the navigation bar  In those cases  or any similar case   you can reduce the number of the pixels from your scroll to achieve the optimal location  For example     html body   animate   scrollTop    target  offset   top - 15     slow    will take you to the target with 15 pixels left on the top

Assuming that your href attribute is linking to a div with the tag id with the same name  as usual   you can use this code   HTML   lt a href   goto  class  sliding-link  gt Link to div lt  a gt    lt div id  goto  gt I m the div lt  div gt    JAVASCRIPT -  Jquery       sliding-link   click function e        e preventDefault        var aid     this  attr  href           html body   animate  scrollTop    aid  offset   top   slow

My approach with jQuery to just make all of the embedded anchor links slide instead of jump instantly  It s really similar to the answer by Santi Nunez but it s more reliable   Support   Multi-framework environment  Before the page has finished loading     lt a href   myid  gt Go to lt  a gt   lt div id  myid  gt  lt  div gt       Slow scroll with anchors  function           document  on  click    a href       function e           e preventDefault            var id     this  attr  href               html body   animate  scrollTop    id  offset   top   500              jQuery

You should also consider that the target has a padding and thus use position instead of offset  You can also account for a potential nav bar you don t want to be overlapping the target   const  navbar       navbar        a href         on  click   function e        e preventDefault         const scrollTop               this  attr  href    position   top -          navbar outerHeight            html  body   animate   scrollTop

I stumbled upon this example on https   css-tricks com snippets jquery smooth-scrolling  explaining every line of code  I found this to be the best option    https   css-tricks com snippets jquery smooth-scrolling   You can go native   window scroll     top  2500     left  0     behavior   smooth        window scrollBy      top  100     could be negative value   left  0     behavior   smooth        document querySelector   hello   scrollIntoView      behavior   smooth         or with jquery      a href         not   href        not   href   0     click function event         if           location pathname replace               this pathname replace                      amp  amp  location hostname    this hostname                   var target     this hash         target   target length   target       name     this hash slice 1                 if  target length            event preventDefault               html  body   animate             scrollTop  target offset   top            1000

You may want to add offsetTop and scrollTop value in case You are animating not the whole page   but rather some nested content   e g    var itemTop      letter name    id       offset   top  var offsetTop    someWrapper offset   top  var scrollTop    someWrapper scrollTop    var y   scrollTop   letterTop - offsetTop  this manage list wrap animate     scrollTop  y    1000
