First  your code does not contain a contact div  it has a contacts div    In sidebar you have contact in the div at the bottom of the page you have contacts  I removed the final s for the code sample   you also misspelled the projectslink id in the sidebar     Second  take a look at some of the examples for click on the jQuery reference page  You have to use click like  object click  function        Your code here      in order to bind a click event handler to the object     Like in my example below  As an aside  you can also just trigger a click on an object by using it without arguments  like object click     Third  scrollTo is a plugin in jQuery  I don t know if you have the plugin installed  You can t use scrollTo   without the plugin  In this case  the functionality you desire is only 2 lines of code  so I see no reason to use the plugin   Ok  now on to a solution   The code below will scroll to the correct div if you click a link in the sidebar  The window does have to be big enough to allow scrolling      This is a functions that scrolls to   blah link function goToByScroll id           Remove  link  from the ID     id   id replace  link               Scroll        html body   animate           scrollTop          id  offset   top         slow           sidebar  gt  ul  gt  li  gt  a   click function e           Prevent a page reload when a link is pressed     e preventDefault           Call the scroll function     goToByScroll this id         Live Example    Scroll to function taken from here      PS  Obviously you should have a compelling reason to go this route instead of using anchor tags  lt a href   gohere  gt blah lt  a gt       lt a name  gohere  gt blah title lt  a gt

OK guys  this is a small solution  but it works fine   suppose the following code    lt div id  the div holder  style  height  400px  overflow-y  scroll  gt     lt div class  post  gt 1st post lt  div gt     lt div class  post  gt 2nd post lt  div gt     lt div class  post  gt 3rd post lt  div gt   lt  div gt    you want when a new post is added to  the div holder  then it scrolls its inner content  the div s  post  to the last one like a chat  So  do the following whenever a new  post is added to the main div holder   var scroll   function div        var totalHeight   0      div find   post   each function           totalHeight      this  outerHeight                div scrollTop totalHeight            call it    scroll     the div holder

There is no  scrollTo   method in jQuery  but there is a  scrollTop   one   scrollTop expects a parameter  that is  the pixel value where the scrollbar should scroll to   Example     window  scrollTop 200     will scroll the window  if there is enough content in it    So you can get this desired value with  offset   or  position      Example     window  scrollTop     contact   offset   top     This should scroll the  contact element into view   The non-jQuery alternate method is  scrollIntoView    You can call that method on any DOM element like       contact   0  scrollIntoView true     true indicates that the element is positioned at the top whereas false would place it on the bottom of the view  The nice thing with the jQuery method is  you can even use it with fx functions like  animate    So you might smooth scroll something   Reference   scrollTop     position     offset

First get the position of the div element upto which u want to scroll by jQuery position   method    Example   var pos      div   position      Then get the y cordinates  height  of that element with   top  method  Example   pos top   Then get the x cordinates of the that div element with   left  method   These methods are originated from CSS positioning   Once we get x  amp  y cordinates  then we can use javascript s scrollTo    method  This method scrolls the document upto specific height  amp  width  It takes two parameters as x  amp  y cordinates  Syntax    window scrollTo x y     Then just pass the x  amp  y cordinates of the DIV element in the scrollTo   function   Refer the example below  darr   darr    lt  DOCTYPE HTML gt       lt html gt       lt head gt           lt title gt              Scroll upto Div with jQuery           lt  title gt           lt script src  http   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 11 2 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt           lt script gt                document  ready function                          button1   click function                          var x       element   position      gets the position of the div element                        window scrollTo x left  x top     window scrollTo   scrolls the page upto certain position                           it takes 2 parameters    x axis cordinate  y axis cordinate                                                    lt  script gt       lt  head gt       lt body gt           lt button id  button1  gt              Click here to scroll          lt  button gt            lt div id  element  style  position absolute top 200  left 0  background-color orange height 100px width 200px   gt              The DIV element               lt  div gt           lt  body gt       lt  html gt
