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.

Is it possible to create smooth scrolling behavior to an onpage div for a submit button?
I have something along these lines
<input type="submit" value="FREE QUOTE!" onclick="window.location.href = '#quote';">
That goes to the div just fine, but it jumps.
For the other anchor links on the page, I'm using a smooth-scrolling jQuery script which creates smooth scrolling for them:
$(document).on('click', 'a[href^="#"]', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($(this).attr('href')).offset().top
}, 1000, 'linear');
});
That's great, as expected, for normal anchors, but the button jumps.
I could of course style a normal anchor to have the look of this button but this breaks the design completely. If I use CSS scroll-behavior: smooth;, then I get a smooth scroll for this button, but there doesn't seem to be great support for this beyond recent browsers.
Is there a way to get a submit button to scroll smoothly to an onpage div? I don't mind if the scrolling for the button is a separate script/process to the vanilla anchors but would just like to get some smooth scrolling into this button.
You could create another event listener that targets something like a custom data attribute, eg: data-scroll:
<input type="submit" value="FREE QUOTE!" data-scroll="#quote" />
Here's a quick update to your JS:
function scrollTo($ele) {
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $ele.offset().top
}, 1000, 'linear');
}
$(document).on('click', 'a[href^="#"]', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
const $ele = $($(this).attr('href'));
scrollTo($ele);
});
$(document).on('click', '[data-scroll]', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
const $ele = $($(this).data('scroll'));
scrollTo($ele);
});
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
I am having the following issue. I have an element located in an Iframe and when clicking on it, it should take me to the top of another element in this Iframe. This works in every browser and on Android but for some reason, it does not work on iPhone.
$('#button').on('click touchstart', function () {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#top-text").offset().top
}, 1200);
})
Has anyone a solution?
This code is actually a cross-browser solution for making scroll and it works in safari/chrome/firefox
$('html,body').animate({})
So most likely you are not able to get an element, probably because you are running your code from iframe, you can try it like that
$('#button').on('click touchstart', function () {
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: 300,
}, 1200);
});
If this will work you can try to catch you element outside of iframe by using something like
$(parent.document.getElementById('top-text')).offset().top
I have a problem with a website.
I am new in javascript.
I need to do that when I click on a menu item (wordpress) and then whe window is loaded, automaticaly scroll down to the content(empty) div.
My javascript code not working. What should I do?
My code:
<script>
$(".menu-item").click(function() {
$( window ).load(function() {
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $('.content').offset().top }, 'slow');
});
});
</script>
The two codes working with alone, but in this version not working.
I do not know what you exactly want, but first you need to call window.onload and then append click event.
Like this:
<script>
$( window ).load(function() {
$(".menu-item").click(function() {
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $('.content').offset().top }, 'slow');
});
});
</script>
I'm using a WordPress plugin to display a list of locations and a map of those locations.
I created the following function so that a link will scroll to a map when a link is clicked.
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".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()
