Why won't this Javascript scroll function work?

I am mightily confused to why this won't run. I am trying to get the click to scroll button to scroll down.
https://jsfiddle.net/n9jqvas9/
<script>
$("button").click(function() {
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $("s2text").offset().top},
'slow');
});
</script>

You are missing both jQuery (in your example) and a dot before s2text because it is a class.
$("#button").click(function() {
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $(".s2text").offset().top},
'slow');
});
Here is your updated jsfiddle.

You need to add JQuery library and set the class selector:
$(".s2text").offset().top
Intead:
$("s2text").offset().top
Working example.

You are missing the dot (.) class name.
$("button").click(function() {
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $(".s2text").offset().top},
'slow');
});

scrollTo a div once a button is clicked?

I'm trying to get the page to scroll to #news .section-wrap when .paging-navigation a is clicked. I tried inserting the line (as seen below) but couldn't get it to work. Where am I going wrong?
$('#article-list').on('click', '.paging-navigation a', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var link = $(this).attr('href');
$('#article-list').scrollTo('#news .section-wrap'); // this is the line I added
$('#article-list').fadeOut(500, function(){
$(this).load(link + ' #article-list', function() {
$(this).find('#article-list > *').unwrap().end().fadeIn(500);
});
});
});

You will need to animate html and body and point to the selector within the jQuery animate function. Try this:
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $('#news .section-wrap').offset().top
}, 2000);

Try something like this:
$(".paging-navigation a").click(function(){
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#news .section-wrap").offset().top
}, 500);
});
You might need to alter something in this code, either timing or some bug since i could not test it currently.
Hope it is helpful.

scrollTo() is not a native jQuery method. You can use a third part plugin like http://lions-mark.com/jquery/scrollTo/ or http://demos.flesler.com/jquery/scrollTo/ .
As answered on jQuery scroll to element you can also make the page scroll to the target position, like this:
$("#button").click(function() {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#elementtoScrollToID").offset().top
}, 2000);
});

Scroll to page depending on button that is clicked

Can anyone explain to me how I can use the jquery scroll-to to make the buttons on the yellow menu scroll to their corresponding sections (i.e distribution to the pink block)
This is my code: http://jsfiddle.net/VXkW5/5/
I think its something like this:
$(".nav").click(function () {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(".section").offset().top + $(".section").height()
}, 500);
});
But I dont know how to relate it to it's relevant section based on the link that was clicked.

Working Demo
First of all, ID need to be unique in the page. I see both as well as uses same ID
so i have made change & Just add the corresponding div id to the href tag, it will take to that particular div on click
posting
distribution
applicantions
In terms of jQuery:
$(".nav").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var divId = $(this).attr('href');
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(divId).offset().top;
}, 500);
});

You could have a link like
Click to jump to section 1
And a section like
<div id="section1">
<p>Section 1 content</p>
</div>
And handle the scroll to like so
<script type="text/javascript">
$(".nav").click(function (event) {
event.stopPropagation();
var theHref = $(this).attr('href');
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(theHref).offset().top + $(".section").height()
}, 500);
});
</script>

JQuery rolling - stop previous & generalize

i have code like this:
JavaScript
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("a.link1").click(function (){
//$(this).stop().preventDefault().animate(function(){
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#link1").offset().top
}, 2000);
//});
});
$("a.link2").click(function (){
//$(this).stop().preventDefault().animate(function(){
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#link2").offset().top
}, 2000);
//});
});
$("a.link3").click(function (){
//$(this).stop().preventDefault().animate(function(){
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#link3").offset().top
}, 2000);
//});
});
});
Body of HTML:
<div id="menu">
LINK 1
LINK 2
LINK 3
</div>
<div id="content">
<a name="link1" id="link1"></a>
<!--some text-->
<a name="link2" id="link2"></a>
<!--some text-->
<a name="link3" id="link3"></a>
<!--some text-->
</div>
Please help me with this:
Stop doesn't seem to work the way I wanted. I want to somehow stop previous rolling when another link is activated.
Is there any way of generalization of the jQuery part. I have more than 3 menu links and I don't want to make a special function for each.
Thank you very much for your help.

You can generalize by extracting the click callbacks to a common function:
var linkClickCallback = function(selector){
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $(selector).offset().top
}, 2000);
}
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("a.link1").click(linkClickCallback.bind(null, '#link1'));
$("a.link2").click(linkClickCallback.bind(null, '#link2'));
$("a.link3").click(linkClickCallback.bind(null, '#link3'));
});
Note that in the linkClickCallback i also wrote the proper use of stop() method.
EDIT:
This will work for all items in menu:
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("#menu a").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
linkClickCallback('#' + this.className);
});
});
with the same linkClickCallback function.

Yeah just generalise a function like this and then inside the function, look for the caller (this):
$("#menu a").click(function(e){
var t = $(this)
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: t.offset().top
}, 2000);
});

Stop the smooth scroll with mouse wheel

I have this code so that when a URL is clicked, the view will be scrolled to that particular div (same page) smoothly.
However, I have encountered something buggy.
So let say I clicked the URL, and it is now scrolling smoothly to the bottom of the page. However, when I tried to use my mouse wheel to stop the smooth scrolling but it didn't work. Instead, it gives me that kinda buggy look.
Here's the code
Please advice
<script>
$('a').click(function(e){
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $( $(this).attr('href') ).offset().top
}, 1500);
return false;
});
</script>

Add event handlers to the window for wheel and mousewheel events, and in their handlers call $("html, body").stop()

Try this
<script>
$('html, body').bind('mousewheel', function(e){
$(this).stop();
});
$('a').click(function(e){
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $( $(this).attr('href') ).offset().top
}, 1500);
return false;
});
</script>

Maybe the issue is that you are not using document ready function.
Try this:
<script>
$(document).ready(function () { // <-- this
$('a').click(function(e){
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $( $(this).attr('href') ).offset().top
}, 1500);
return false;
});
});
</script>
