Disable Smooth Scrolling on Non-Anchor Hash Link?

I have some jquery for smooth scrolling:
$(document).on('click', 'a[href^="#"]', function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $($.attr(this, 'href')).offset().top
}, 1400);
});
Which works fine, except that I have some tabs on the page that use a hash link also. When you click each tab, the page scrolls to the top of the screen.
Is there a way to make this smooth scroll work, only when a specific anchor is added to the hash (like /#features) and not work when it is a hash only (like /#)

You can add a :not() selector to eliminate href="#" from triggering your click event.
$(document).on('click', 'a[href^="#"]:not([href=#])', function(event) {
console.log("Clicked");
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Hash Only
Anchor 1
Anchor 2

URL href failing: Anchors, URL, and Javascript

I am using javascript for smooth scrolling (in script tags below) and also have href for anchor links. All of the anchors are working fine but the javascript appears to be disabling the href for the URL. Can you help me rewrite this so that works as well?
<ul class="snip1143">
<li class>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Work</li>
<li>Blog </li
<li>Contact</li>
<script>
$(document).on('click', 'a', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $( $.attr(this, 'href') ).offset().top
}, 500);
});
</script>

event.preventDefault() is going to prevent the default, which for anchors is going to that url. You probably want to add a class to the anchors that you want to animate and select only those instead of preventing default on all anchor tags.

Acutally since you have unique data-hover for each element, all we have to do then is filter it by validating the value of their data-hover attribute.
<script>
$(document).on('click', 'a', function(event) {
if($(this).data('hover') !== "Blog"){
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $( $.attr(this, 'href') ).offset().top
}, 500);
}// since i noticed that you want to redirect the page once the Blog link is clicked
});
</script>
Let me know if this helps you with your problem.

jQuery not triggering event in hover state

I'm currently trying to make a navigational menu that on click scrolls to a div positioned lower on the page. Initially it worked but as I added a CSS transition to highlight the text, the jQuery will no longer trigger the scrolling to happen upon clicking it.
$("#about, #about:hover").click(function() {
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#box1").offset().top},
'slow');
});
The #about id is a part of the nav menu and will scroll to #box1 on click. I've tried adding the hover state to the selector, changing it to .trigger rather than .click but I'm not seeing a simple solution. I've recreated the event in Chrome, Safari, and using JSFiddle.
Is the JQuery conflicting with the transition, the hover state, or my code in general?
EDIT: It is working in the Fiddle example but the event still isn't happening when produced locally (everything is linked and correct with no errors in console).

Your JS code runs before the DOM is fully loaded.
Put the JS inside document.ready();:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#about, #about:hover").click(function () {
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#box1").offset().top
},
'slow');
});
$("#portfolio, #portfolio:hover").click(function () {
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#box2").offset().top
},
'slow');
});
$("#social, #social:hover").click(function () {
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#box3").offset().top
},
'slow');
});
$("#contact, #contact:hover").click(function () {
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#box4").offset().top
},
'slow');
});
});
See updated JSFiddle

It doesn't work if your jQuery link and/or functions link are in the header.
It works for me if the js links are towards the end of your html like before the closing body tag.

JavaScript inside the A HREF keeps jQuery function from working

I'm using a WordPress plugin to display a list of locations and a map of those locations.
I created the following function so that a link will scroll to a map when a link is clicked.
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".wpgmp_location_title h3 a").click(function() {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#map-selected").offset().top
}, 2000);
});
});
However, the plugin automatically adds the following to each link:
href="javascript:open_current_location(marker2259map2)">
This link causes the map-marker to open, however, it appears to be preventing the jQuery function from scrolling the page to the top of the page.
Any ideas how to overcome this?

You need to cancel the default event inside your click handler:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".wpgmp_location_title h3 a").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#map-selected").offset().top
}, 2000);
});
});
Fiddle

An approach could be to override the open_current_location() function.
Take a look at this example, you could also execute the scrolling and then the original behaviour of open_current_location()

link to anchor on different page and scroolTo anchor using JQuery

How would I link to an anchor on another page but when the new page loads also scrollTo the anchor?
Below is the JQuery when my anchro link is on the same page I need to tweak it so that is also animate when the linked clicked
html:
<li>My Link</l1>
My JQuery:
$('.faq_section li a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $( $(this).attr('href') ).offset().top - 20
}, 600);
});
Page2.php:
<div id="about-us"></div>

You can do with following method
By clicking u can send some condition in URL and check that in jquery
E.g. xyz.com?p=scroll
Then in jquery on document.ready function check if 'p=scroll' is present by using indexOf. If yes then run your animate code (note. Above jquery code needs to be in output page)
