Smooth scrolling when clicking an anchor link

Question

I have a couple of hyperlinks on my page  A FAQ that users will read when they visit my help section   Using Anchor links  I can make the page scroll towards the anchor and guide the users there   Is there a way to make that scrolling smooth   But notice that he s using a custom JavaScript library  Maybe jQuery offers somethings like this baked in

This solution will also work for the following URLs  without breaking anchor links to different pages   http   www example com dir index html http   www example com dir index html anchor    index html   index html anchor   etc   var  root      html  body       a   on  click   function event       var hash   this hash         Is the anchor on the same page      if  hash  amp  amp  this href slice 0  -hash length-1     location href slice 0  -location hash length-1              root animate               scrollTop    hash  offset   top             normal   function                 location hash   hash                      return false              I haven t tested this in all browsers  yet

The new hotness in CSS3  This is a lot easier than every method listed on this page and requires no Javascript  Just enter the below code into you css and all of a sudden links point to locations inside you own page will have a smooth scrolling animation   html scroll-behavior smooth    After that any links pointed towards a div will smoothly glide over to those sections    lt a href   section  gt Section1 lt  a gt    Edit  For those confused about the above a tag  Basically it s a link that s clickable  You can then have another div tag somewhere in your web page like    lt div classname  section  gt content lt  div gt    In this regard the a link will be clickable and will go to whatever  section is  in this case it s our div we called section    BTW  I spent hours trying to get this to work  Found the solution in some obscure comments section  It was buggy and wouldn t work in some tags  Didn t work in the body  It finally worked when I put it in html   in the CSS file

I suggest you to make this generic code        a href         click function     var the id     this  attr  href            html  body   animate           scrollTop   the id  offset   top         slow     return false       You can see a very good article here   jquery-effet-smooth-scroll-defilement-fluide

The correct syntax is     Smooth scrolling with links    a href         on  click   function event            event preventDefault           html body   animate  scrollTop   this hash  offset   top   500           Smooth scrolling when the document is loaded and ready   document  ready function         html body   animate  scrollTop   location hash  offset     top   500         Simplifying  DRY  function smoothScrollingTo target        html body   animate  scrollTop   target  offset    top   500        a href         on  click   function event            event preventDefault        smoothScrollingTo this hash         document  ready function      smoothScrollingTo location hash         Explanation of href           means it matches what contains   char  Thus only match anchors  For more about the meaning of this  see here    is because the   is a special char in css selector  so we have to escape it

This will make it easy to allow jQuery to discern your target hash and know when and where to stop      a href         click function e        e preventDefault        var target   this hash       target     target           html  body   stop   animate            scrollTop    target offset   top        900   swing   function              window location hash   target

Adding this   function          window location hash   href      is somehow nullifying the vertical offset  top - 72   in Firefox and IE  ut not in Chrome  Basically  the page scrolls smoothly to the point at which it should stop based upon the offset  but then jumps down to where the page would go without the offset   It does add the hash to the end of the url  but pressing back does not take you back to the top  it just removes the hash from the url and leaves the viewing window where it sits   Here is the full js I am using   var  root      html  body       a   click function         var href     attr this   href         root animate           scrollTop    href  offset   top - 120        500  function              window location hash   href              return false

There are already a lot of good answers here - however they are all missing the fact that empty anchors have to be excluded  Otherwise those scripts generate JavaScript errors as soon as an empty anchor is clicked   In my opinion the correct answer is like this      a href       not  href          click function         event preventDefault            html  body   animate           scrollTop      attr this   href    offset   top        500

Never forget that offset   function is giving your element s position to document  So when you need scroll your element relative to its parent you should use this           a-parent-div   find  a   click function event           event preventDefault                scroll-div   animate        scrollTop       attr this   href     position   top       scroll-div   scrollTop           500                  The key point is getting scrollTop of scroll-div and add it to scrollTop  If you won t do that position   function always gives you different position values

If you have a simple button on the page to scroll down to a div and want the back button to work by jumping to top  just add this code     window  on  hashchange   function event        if  event target location hash                window scrollTo 0 0               This could be extended to jump to different divs too  by reading the hash value  and scrolling like Joseph Silbers answer

You can use window scroll   with behavior  smooth and top set to the anchor tag s offset top which ensures that the anchor tag will be at the top of the viewport   document querySelectorAll  a href

Requires jquery and animates to anchor tag with the specified name instead of id  while adding the hash to browser url  Also fixes an error in most answers with jquery where the   sign is not prefixed with an escaping backslash  The back button  unfortunately  does not navigate back properly to previous hash links        a href         click function  event        let hashValue     this  attr  href        let name   hashValue substring 1       let target       name      name                 html  body   animate   scrollTop  target offset   top    500       event preventDefault        history pushState null  null  hashValue
