Function within requestanimationframe() called too many times, how to call only once? - javascript

I currently have a script in which I am tracking the .offset() position of an element. When this element reaches the top, left, bottom, or right edge of the window, I need to call a function, which should only be called once, and would then be called again the next time it hits the edge of the window.
Right now I have this:
var exceededBounds = false
function checkPosition(element) {
var pos = element.offset();
var maxBoundsX = $(window).width();
var maxBoundsY = $(window).height();
var minBoundsX = 0
var minBoundsY = 0
// if the element hits one of the edges of the window
if (pos.left >= maxBoundsX || pos.top >= maxBoundsY || pos.left <= minBoundsX || pos.top <= minBoundsY) {
if (!exceededBounds) {
exceededBounds = true
}
else {
exceededBounds = false
}
}
else {
exceededBounds = exceededBounds;
}
}
function something() {
// do something here, which only happens once
}
function init() {
checkPosition(element);
if (exceededBounds) {
something()
}
requestAnimationFrame(init);
}
requestAnimationFrame(init);
The problem is, the something() function is called multiple times, I believe due to the frame rate of requestanimationframe() ? I need to use requestanimationframe, however I only want to call the something() function essentially when the variable exceededBounds changes. I thought about trying to implement some kind of observe thing here, but it felt too complex for what I actually need.
Thanks

You need to keep two booleans:
exceeding to know if your element is currently out of bounds.
changed to know if at last check it was already exceeding or not.
var element = $('#el');
var changed = false;
var exceeding = false;
function checkPosition(element) {
var pos = element.offset();
var maxBoundsX = $(window).width();
var maxBoundsY = $(window).height();
var minBoundsX = 0
var minBoundsY = 0
// if the element hits one of the edges of the window
if (pos.left >= maxBoundsX || pos.top >= maxBoundsY || pos.left <= minBoundsX || pos.top <= minBoundsY) {
if (!exceeding) {
changed = true
} else {
changed = false;
}
exceeding = true;
} else {
if (exceeding) {
changed = true;
} else {
changed = false;
}
exceeding = false;
}
}
function something() {
console.log('changed:', exceeding ? 'hidden' : 'visible');
// do something here, which only happens once
}
function init() {
checkPosition(element);
if (changed) {
something()
}
requestAnimationFrame(init);
}
requestAnimationFrame(init);
#el {
margin-top: calc(100vh - 30px);
margin-bottom: 100vh;
}
#cont {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
overflow: auto;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="cont">
<div id="el">Scroll me</div>
</div>
Now, I don't know what is causing your element to move in your scenario, but don't poll like that. Instead, listen to the event that may cause this change. E.G, in my snippet, you would listen to a throttled scroll event.
var element = $('#el');
var changed = false;
var exceeding = false;
cont.onscroll = throttle(init);
function checkPosition(element) {
var pos = element.offset();
var maxBoundsX = $(window).width();
var maxBoundsY = $(window).height();
var minBoundsX = 0
var minBoundsY = 0
// if the element hits one of the edges of the window
if (pos.left >= maxBoundsX || pos.top >= maxBoundsY || pos.left <= minBoundsX || pos.top <= minBoundsY) {
// our if else blocks can also be replaced by
changed = !exceeding;
exceeding = true;
} else {
changed = !!exceeding;
exceeding = false;
}
}
function something() {
console.log('changed:', exceeding ? 'hidden' : 'visible');
// do something here, which only happens once
}
function init() {
checkPosition(element);
if (changed) {
something()
}
}
// wait for next screen refresh before triggering event's callback
function throttle(callback) {
if (typeof callback !== 'function')
throw 'A callback function must be passed';
var active = false;
var evt;
function handler() {
active = false;
callback(evt);
};
return function handleEvent(e) {
evt = e;
if (!active) {
active = true;
requestAnimationFrame(handler);
}
};
}
#el {
margin-top: calc(100vh - 30px);
margin-bottom: 100vh;
}
#cont {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
overflow: auto;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="cont">
<div id="el">Scroll me</div>
</div>

something() will be called multiple times if the element is ever has exceededBounds, unless your something immediately changes the element immediately so that it's within bounds - that's how recursively calling requestAnimationFrame works, it'll just keep getting called over and over again.
I'd suggest altering something such that the element is immediately altered so as to make it within bounds again - then, something will only run once (until it goes out of bounds again).

Creating a pure javascript range slider control

I managed to create a somewhat working slider control but something feels kind of off. It doesnt quite behave as a normal control should. Sometimes while sliding it gets stuck and well, you might want to see for yourself.
How would you create the slider so that it slides smoothly without interruption or the user needing the cursor exactly on the red track?
function createRange(e) {
var range = (((e.offsetX - 0) * (255 - 0)) / (200-40 - 0)) + 0;
var rounded = Math.round(range);
return rounded;
}
function colorSlider(e) {
createRange(e)
}
var dragging = false;
document.getElementById("knob").addEventListener('mousedown', function(e) {
dragging = true;
e.target.style.pointerEvents = "none"
})
window.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
if (dragging) {
if (createRange(e) <= 255) {
document.getElementById("knob").style.left = e.offsetX + "px"
}
}
})
Here is a fixed version of your slider.
var dragging = false;
var knobOffset = 0;
var track = document.getElementById('track'),
knob = document.getElementById('knob'),
trackWidth = track.offsetWidth,
trackLeft = track.offsetLeft,
trackRight = trackLeft + trackWidth,
knobWidth = knob.offsetWidth,
maxRight = trackWidth - knobWidth; // relatively to track
knob.addEventListener('mousedown', function(e) {
// knob offset relatively to track
knobOffset = e.clientX - knob.offsetLeft;
dragging = true;
});
window.addEventListener('mouseup', function(e) {
dragging = false;
})
window.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
if (dragging) {
// current knob offset, relative to track
var offset = e.clientX - trackLeft - knobOffset;
if(offset < 0) {
var offset = 0;
} else if(offset > maxRight) {
var offset = maxRight;
}
knob.style.left = offset + "px"
}
});
#track {width: 200px;height: 5px; margin:100px; background: red}
#knob {height: 10px; width: 40px; background: black;position: relative; }
<div id='track'>
<div id="knob"></div>
</div>

manipulate when inview.js is firing

i would like to know how i can manipulate the inview.js script that the moment when its fired is not at first pixels in viewport, and the last when the element is going out but rather for example 50pixels later or earlier.
the script of inview.js is
(function ($) {
function getViewportHeight() {
var height = window.innerHeight; // Safari, Opera
var mode = document.compatMode;
if ( (mode || !$.support.boxModel) ) { // IE, Gecko
height = (mode == 'CSS1Compat') ?
document.documentElement.clientHeight : // Standards
document.body.clientHeight; // Quirks
}
return height;
}
$(window).scroll(function () {
var vpH = getViewportHeight(),
scrolltop = (document.documentElement.scrollTop ?
document.documentElement.scrollTop :
document.body.scrollTop),
elems = [];
// naughty, but this is how it knows which elements to check for
$.each($.cache, function () {
if (this.events && this.events.inview) {
elems.push(this.handle.elem);
}
});
if (elems.length) {
$(elems).each(function () {
var $el = $(this),
top = $el.offset().top,
height = $el.height(),
inview = $el.data('inview') || false;
if (scrolltop > (top + height) || scrolltop + vpH < top) {
if (inview) {
$el.data('inview', false);
$el.trigger('inview', [ false ]);
}
} else if (scrolltop < (top + height)) {
if (!inview) {
$el.data('inview', true);
$el.trigger('inview', [ true ]);
}
}
});
}
});
// kick the event to pick up any elements already in view.
// note however, this only works if the plugin is included after the elements are bound to 'inview'
$(function () {
$(window).scroll();
});
})(jQuery);
all credits go to here
my attemp was to add a value to offset top top = $el.offset().top + 50, which works! but how can i change the value for the bottom up?
thanks ted
I'd recommend using http://imakewebthings.com/jquery-waypoints/
Which you can call like so to achieve your desired effect at 10% from the bottom:
$('.flyIn').waypoint(function() {
$(this).removeClass('hidden');
$(this).addClass('animated fadeInUp');
}, { offset: '90%' });

html element doesn't move correctly with jQuery

I have to repair bottom slider on http://rhemapress.pl/www_wopr/ . If you see when you click right arrow twice, then animation back to start and animate again. Here when i click one on right arrow time this should be blocked and not possible to click second time.
Numer of moves right is created dynamicly by checkWidth();
function checkWidth() {
var elements = $('.items').children().length;
var width = Math.ceil(elements / 5) * 820;
return width;
}
This return realWidth witch is something like limit of offset. Variable offset is setted to 0 at start. So, if i click right, then in method moveRight() is checked if element can be moved and it's move. At end offset is increment by 820px (one page of slider), so if we've got 2 pages, then next move can't be called. But it is and this is problem! :/
My code
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.prev').bind('click',moveLeft);
$('a.next').bind('click',moveRight);
var realWidth = checkWidth();
realWidth -= 820;
var offset = 0;
function moveLeft(e) {
var position = $('.items').position();
var elements = $('.items').children().length;
if ((elements > 5) && ((offset - 820) >= 0) ) {
$('.items').animate({
'left': (position.left + 820)
}, 300, function() {
offset -= 820;
});
}
}
function moveRight(e) {
var position = $('.items').position();
var elements = $('.items').children().length;
if ((elements > 5) && ((offset + 820) <= realWidth)) {
$('.items').animate({
'left': (position.left - 820)
}, 300, function() {
offset += 820;
});
}
}
function checkWidth() {
var elements = $('.items').children().length;
var width = Math.ceil(elements / 5) * 820;
return width;
}
});
</script>
How can i do this correctly?
It seems like you want to prevent the click event from firing before the current animation is complete. You can do this by preventing the rest of the function from executing if the element is currently being animated:
function moveLeft(e) {
if ($(this).is(":animated")) {
return false;
}

Dimensions of containerNode inside dojox dialog widget

I'm trying to get the dimensions of my containerNode which is a member of my dojox dialog widget, when the widget's showing animation ends.
this.dialog = new dojox.widget.Dialog( { sizeToViewport: true });
var dialogContainer = this.dialog.containerNode;
Which function or property should I use?
Since dojo V1.7 you could use dojo.position.
With the given example:
var position = dojo.position(dialogContainer);
var dimensions = {
width: position.w,
height: position.h
}
This call requires dojo/dom-geometry.
Let me know if it worked pls..
Ok, 2nd attempt now. As experimenting a little bit, didn't lead to a solution. How about a nasty little workaround?
Researching on the sizeToViewPort-option of the dojox.widget.dialog i found out, that by default there is a padding of 35px to the ViewPort. So if you know the size of the viewport, you could get the dimensions of the dialog by substracting the padding from it..
So maybe this helps:
function getNewDialog(the_padding) {
if (!the_padding || isNaN(the_padding)) {
the_padding = 35;
}
var dialog = new dojox.widget.Dialog({
sizeToViewport: true,
padding: the_padding + 'px' //nasty string conversion
});
return dialog;
}
function getViewPortSize() {
var viewPortWidth;
var viewPortHeight;
// mozilla/netscape/opera/IE7
if (typeof window.innerWidth != 'undefined') {
viewPortWidth = window.innerWidth;
viewPortHeight = window.innerHeight;
}
// IE6 in standards compliant mode
else if (typeof document.documentElement !== 'undefined' && typeof document.documentElement.clientWidth !== 'undefined' && document.documentElement.clientWidth !== 0) {
viewPortWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
viewPortHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
}
// older versions of IE fallback
else {
viewPortWidth = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].clientWidth;
viewPortHeight = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].clientHeight;
}
return {
width: viewPortWidth,
heigth: viewPortHeight
};
}
function getDialogSize(the_padding) {
if (!the_padding) {
the_padding = 35;
}
var vp_size = getViewPortSize();
return {
width: vp_size.width - the_padding,
heigth: vp_size.heigth - the_padding
};
}
var costumPadding = 35; // this is also the default value of dojox.widget.dialog ...
var dialog = getNewDialog(costumPadding);
var dialogSize = getDialogSize(costumPadding);
Hope I didn't miss anything.
This is one of possible sollutions
dojo.connect(mydialog, "show", function(){
setTimeout(function(){
var position = dojo.position(dialogContainer);
var dimensions = {
width: position.w,
height: position.h
}
alert(position.h);
},mydialog.duration + 1500);
});

Smooth scroll without the use of jQuery

I'm coding up a page where I only want to use raw JavaScript code for UI without any interference of plugins or frameworks.
And now I'm struggling with finding a way to scroll over the page smoothly without jQuery.
Native browser smooth scrolling in JavaScript is like this:
// scroll to specific values,
// same as window.scroll() method.
// for scrolling a particular distance, use window.scrollBy().
window.scroll({
top: 2500,
left: 0,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
// scroll certain amounts from current position
window.scrollBy({
top: 100, // negative value acceptable
left: 0,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
// scroll to a certain element
document.querySelector('.hello').scrollIntoView({
behavior: 'smooth'
});
Try this smooth scrolling demo, or an algorithm like:
Get the current top location using self.pageYOffset
Get the position of element till where you want to scroll to: element.offsetTop
Do a for loop to reach there, which will be quite fast or use a timer to do smooth scroll till that position using window.scrollTo
See also the other popular answer to this question.
Andrew Johnson's original code:
function currentYPosition() {
// Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
if (self.pageYOffset) return self.pageYOffset;
// Internet Explorer 6 - standards mode
if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop)
return document.documentElement.scrollTop;
// Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8
if (document.body.scrollTop) return document.body.scrollTop;
return 0;
}
function elmYPosition(eID) {
var elm = document.getElementById(eID);
var y = elm.offsetTop;
var node = elm;
while (node.offsetParent && node.offsetParent != document.body) {
node = node.offsetParent;
y += node.offsetTop;
} return y;
}
function smoothScroll(eID) {
var startY = currentYPosition();
var stopY = elmYPosition(eID);
var distance = stopY > startY ? stopY - startY : startY - stopY;
if (distance < 100) {
scrollTo(0, stopY); return;
}
var speed = Math.round(distance / 100);
if (speed >= 20) speed = 20;
var step = Math.round(distance / 25);
var leapY = stopY > startY ? startY + step : startY - step;
var timer = 0;
if (stopY > startY) {
for ( var i=startY; i<stopY; i+=step ) {
setTimeout("window.scrollTo(0, "+leapY+")", timer * speed);
leapY += step; if (leapY > stopY) leapY = stopY; timer++;
} return;
}
for ( var i=startY; i>stopY; i-=step ) {
setTimeout("window.scrollTo(0, "+leapY+")", timer * speed);
leapY -= step; if (leapY < stopY) leapY = stopY; timer++;
}
}

Algorithm
Scrolling an element requires changing its scrollTop value over time. For a given point in time, calculate a new scrollTop value. To animate smoothly, interpolate using a smooth-step algorithm.
Calculate scrollTop as follows:
var point = smooth_step(start_time, end_time, now);
var scrollTop = Math.round(start_top + (distance * point));
Where:
start_time is the time the animation started;
end_time is when the animation will end (start_time + duration);
start_top is the scrollTop value at the beginning; and
distance is the difference between the desired end value and the start value (target - start_top).
A robust solution should detect when animating is interrupted, and more. Read my post about Smooth Scrolling without jQuery for details.
Demo
See the JSFiddle.
Implementation
The code:
/**
Smoothly scroll element to the given target (element.scrollTop)
for the given duration
Returns a promise that's fulfilled when done, or rejected if
interrupted
*/
var smooth_scroll_to = function(element, target, duration) {
target = Math.round(target);
duration = Math.round(duration);
if (duration < 0) {
return Promise.reject("bad duration");
}
if (duration === 0) {
element.scrollTop = target;
return Promise.resolve();
}
var start_time = Date.now();
var end_time = start_time + duration;
var start_top = element.scrollTop;
var distance = target - start_top;
// based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothstep
var smooth_step = function(start, end, point) {
if(point <= start) { return 0; }
if(point >= end) { return 1; }
var x = (point - start) / (end - start); // interpolation
return x*x*(3 - 2*x);
}
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
// This is to keep track of where the element's scrollTop is
// supposed to be, based on what we're doing
var previous_top = element.scrollTop;
// This is like a think function from a game loop
var scroll_frame = function() {
if(element.scrollTop != previous_top) {
reject("interrupted");
return;
}
// set the scrollTop for this frame
var now = Date.now();
var point = smooth_step(start_time, end_time, now);
var frameTop = Math.round(start_top + (distance * point));
element.scrollTop = frameTop;
// check if we're done!
if(now >= end_time) {
resolve();
return;
}
// If we were supposed to scroll but didn't, then we
// probably hit the limit, so consider it done; not
// interrupted.
if(element.scrollTop === previous_top
&& element.scrollTop !== frameTop) {
resolve();
return;
}
previous_top = element.scrollTop;
// schedule next frame for execution
setTimeout(scroll_frame, 0);
}
// boostrap the animation process
setTimeout(scroll_frame, 0);
});
}
You can use the new Scroll Behaviour CSS Property.
for example, add the below line to your CSS.
html{
scroll-behavior:smooth;
}
and this will result in a native smooth scrolling feature.
see demo here
All modern browsers support the scroll-behavior property.

Modern browsers has support for CSS "scroll-behavior: smooth" property. So, we even don't need any Javascript at all for this. Just add this for the "html" element, and use usual anchors and links.
scroll-behavior MDN docs
I recently set out to solve this problem in a situation where jQuery wasn't an option, so I'm logging my solution here just for posterity.
var scroll = (function() {
var elementPosition = function(a) {
return function() {
return a.getBoundingClientRect().top;
};
};
var scrolling = function( elementID ) {
var el = document.getElementById( elementID ),
elPos = elementPosition( el ),
duration = 400,
increment = Math.round( Math.abs( elPos() )/40 ),
time = Math.round( duration/increment ),
prev = 0,
E;
function scroller() {
E = elPos();
if (E === prev) {
return;
} else {
prev = E;
}
increment = (E > -20 && E < 20) ? ((E > - 5 && E < 5) ? 1 : 5) : increment;
if (E > 1 || E < -1) {
if (E < 0) {
window.scrollBy( 0,-increment );
} else {
window.scrollBy( 0,increment );
}
setTimeout(scroller, time);
} else {
el.scrollTo( 0,0 );
}
}
scroller();
};
return {
To: scrolling
}
})();
/* usage */
scroll.To('elementID');
The scroll() function uses the Revealing Module Pattern to pass the target element's id to its scrolling() function, via scroll.To('id'), which sets the values used by the scroller() function.
Breakdown
In scrolling():
el : the target DOM object
elPos : returns a function via elememtPosition() which gives the position of the target element relative to the top of the page each time it's called.
duration : transition time in milliseconds.
increment : divides the starting position of the target element into 40 steps.
time : sets the timing of each step.
prev : the target element's previous position in scroller().
E : holds the target element's position in scroller().
The actual work is done by the scroller() function which continues to call itself (via setTimeout()) until the target element is at the top of the page or the page can scroll no more.
Each time scroller() is called it checks the current position of the target element (held in variable E) and if that is > 1 OR < -1 and if the page is still scrollable shifts the window by increment pixels - up or down depending if E is a positive or negative value. When E is neither > 1 OR < -1, or E === prev the function stops. I added the DOMElement.scrollTo() method on completion just to make sure the target element was bang on the top of the window (not that you'd notice it being out by a fraction of a pixel!).
The if statement on line 2 of scroller() checks to see if the page is scrolling (in cases where the target might be towards the bottom of the page and the page can scroll no further) by checking E against its previous position (prev).
The ternary condition below it reduce the increment value as E approaches zero. This stops the page overshooting one way and then bouncing back to overshoot the other, and then bouncing back to overshoot the other again, ping-pong style, to infinity and beyond.
If your page is more that c.4000px high you might want to increase the values in the ternary expression's first condition (here at +/-20) and/or the divisor which sets the increment value (here at 40).
Playing about with duration, the divisor which sets increment, and the values in the ternary condition of scroller() should allow you to tailor the function to suit your page.

scroll(this, 18);
e.preventDefault();
});
}
Description
pointer—get element and chceck if it has attribute "href" if yes,
get rid of "#"
elem—pointer variable without "#"
elemOffset—offset of "scroll to" element from the top of the page
You can use
document.querySelector('your-element').scrollIntoView({behavior: 'smooth'});
If you want to scroll top the top of the page, you can just place an empty element in the top, and smooth scroll to that one.
With using the following smooth scrolling is working fine:
html {
scroll-behavior: smooth;
}
<script>
var set = 0;
function animatescroll(x, y) {
if (set == 0) {
var val72 = 0;
var val73 = 0;
var setin = 0;
set = 1;
var interval = setInterval(function() {
if (setin == 0) {
val72++;
val73 += x / 1000;
if (val72 == 1000) {
val73 = 0;
interval = clearInterval(interval);
}
document.getElementById(y).scrollTop = val73;
}
}, 1);
}
}
</script>
x = scrollTop
y = id of the div that is used to scroll
Note:
For making the body to scroll give the body an ID.
Here is my solution. Works in most browsers
document.getElementById("scrollHere").scrollIntoView({behavior: "smooth"});
Docs
document.getElementById("end").scrollIntoView({behavior: "smooth"});
body {margin: 0px; display: block; height: 100%; background-image: linear-gradient(red, yellow);}
.start {display: block; margin: 100px 10px 1000px 0px;}
.end {display: block; margin: 0px 0px 100px 0px;}
<div class="start">Start</div>
<div class="end" id="end">End</div>
There are many different methods for smooth scrolling in JavaScript. The most common ones are listed below.
To scroll to a certain position in an exact amount of time, window.requestAnimationFrame can be put to use, calculating the appropriate current position each time. setTimeout can be used to a similar effect when requestAnimationFrame is not supported. (To scroll to a specific element with the function below, just set the position to element.offsetTop.)
/*
#param pos: the y-position to scroll to (in pixels)
#param time: the exact amount of time the scrolling will take (in milliseconds)
*/
function scrollToSmoothly(pos, time) {
var currentPos = window.pageYOffset;
var start = null;
if(time == null) time = 500;
pos = +pos, time = +time;
window.requestAnimationFrame(function step(currentTime) {
start = !start ? currentTime : start;
var progress = currentTime - start;
if (currentPos < pos) {
window.scrollTo(0, ((pos - currentPos) * progress / time) + currentPos);
} else {
window.scrollTo(0, currentPos - ((currentPos - pos) * progress / time));
}
if (progress < time) {
window.requestAnimationFrame(step);
} else {
window.scrollTo(0, pos);
}
});
}
Demo:
/*
#param time: the exact amount of time the scrolling will take (in milliseconds)
#param pos: the y-position to scroll to (in pixels)
*/
function scrollToSmoothly(pos, time) {
var currentPos = window.pageYOffset;
var start = null;
if(time == null) time = 500;
pos = +pos, time = +time;
window.requestAnimationFrame(function step(currentTime) {
start = !start ? currentTime : start;
var progress = currentTime - start;
if (currentPos < pos) {
window.scrollTo(0, ((pos - currentPos) * progress / time) + currentPos);
} else {
window.scrollTo(0, currentPos - ((currentPos - pos) * progress / time));
}
if (progress < time) {
window.requestAnimationFrame(step);
} else {
window.scrollTo(0, pos);
}
});
}

</div>
<button style="margin-top: 100px;" onClick="scrollToSmoothly(500, 3000)">

</button>
For more complex cases, the SmoothScroll.js library can be used, which handles smooth scrolling both vertically and horizontally, scrolling inside other container elements, different easing behaviors, scrolling relatively from the current position, and more.
var easings = document.getElementById("easings");
for(var key in smoothScroll.easing){
if(smoothScroll.easing.hasOwnProperty(key)){
var option = document.createElement('option');
option.text = option.value = key;
easings.add(option);
}
}
document.getElementById('to-bottom').addEventListener('click', function(e){
smoothScroll({yPos: 'end', easing: easings.value, duration: 2000});
});
document.getElementById('to-top').addEventListener('click', function(e){
smoothScroll({yPos: 'start', easing: easings.value, duration: 2000});
});

<button id="to-bottom">Scroll To Bottom</button>

<button id="to-top" style="margin-top: 5000px;">Scroll To Top</button>
Alternatively, you can pass an options object to window.scroll which scrolls to a specific x and y position and window.scrollBy which scrolls a certain amount from the current position:
// Scroll to specific values
// scrollTo is the same
window.scroll({
top: 2500,
left: 0,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
// Scroll certain amounts from current position
window.scrollBy({
top: 100, // could be negative value
left: 0,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
Demo:
<button onClick="scrollToDiv()">Scroll To Element</button>
<div style="margin: 500px 0px;">Div</div>
<script>
function scrollToDiv(){
var elem = document.querySelector("div");
window.scroll({
top: elem.offsetTop,
left: 0,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
}
</script>
If you only need to scroll to an element, not a specific position in the document, you can use Element.scrollIntoView with behavior set to smooth.
document.getElementById("elemID").scrollIntoView({
behavior: 'smooth'
});
Demo:
<button onClick="scrollToDiv()">Scroll To Element</button>
<div id="myDiv" style="margin: 500px 0px;">Div</div>
<script>
function scrollToDiv(){
document.getElementById("myDiv").scrollIntoView({
behavior: 'smooth'
});
}
</script>
Modern browsers support the scroll-behavior CSS property, which can be used to make scrolling in the document smooth (without the need for JavaScript). Anchor tags can be used for this by giving the anchor tag a href of # plus the id of the element to scroll to). You can also set the scroll-behavior property for a specific container like a div to make its contents scroll smoothly.
Demo:
html, body{
scroll-behavior: smooth;
}
Scroll To Element
<div id="elem" style="margin: 500px 0px;">Div</div>
Here's my variation:
let MenuItem = function ( _menuItem ) {
// I had a sticky header, so its height had to be taken into account when scrolling
let _header = document.querySelector('.site-header');
let _scrollToBlock = function( e, menuItem ) {
let id = menuItem.getAttribute('href'), // the href attribute stores the id of the block to which the scroll will be
headerHeight = _header.offsetHeight; // determine the height of the header
id = id.replace(/#/, ''); // remove the # sign from the id block
let elem = document.getElementById( id ), // define the element to which we will scroll
top = elem.getBoundingClientRect().top + window.scrollY - headerHeight; // determine the height of the scroll
window.scroll({
top: top,
left: 0,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
},
_addEvents = function() {
_menuItem.addEventListener('click', function (e){
e.preventDefault(); // Disable redirect on click
_scrollToBlock(e, _menuItem);
});
},
_init = function() {
_addEvents();
};
_init();
};
// Initialize the class MenuItem to all links with class .menu__item
document.querySelectorAll('.menu__item').forEach( function(item) {
new MenuItem(item);
} );
Here's the code that worked for me.
`$('a[href*="#"]')
.not('[href="#"]')
.not('[href="#0"]')
.click(function(event) {
if (
location.pathname.replace(/^\//, '') == this.pathname.replace(/^\//, '')
&&
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, function() {
var $target = $(target);
$target.focus();
if ($target.is(":focus")) {
return false;
} else {
$target.attr('tabindex','-1');
$target.focus();
};
});
}
}
});
