I have written a function that when invoked, will scroll the page downwards in a smooth fashion.
The problem is that the amount scrolled is not precise. It can be off by one pixel or so depending on the distance scrolled and the duration of the scroll.
Is there a better way to do this such that the scroll can move the exact number of desired pixels?
const EASING = BezierEasing(0, .1, .1, 1); // Example values.
const DURATION = 1000; // ms.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',
() => {
document.querySelector('#foo')
.addEventListener('click', onClick, false);
});
function onClick(e) {
scroll(400); // px.
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
function scroll(distance) {
var start, travelled, html;
start = performance.now();
travelled = 0;
html = document.querySelector('html');
(function move(now) {
var fractionDone, dy, toMove;
fractionDone = (now-start) / DURATION;
if((1 - fractionDone) <= 0) {
return; // Done!
}
if(window.scrollY + window.innerHeight
=== html.offsetHeight) {
return; // At bottom of page.
}
dy = ((EASING.get(fractionDone)) * distance);
toMove = Math.floor((dy - travelled)); // `scrollBy` only accepts integers.
if(toMove > 0) {
window.scrollBy(0, toMove);
travelled += toMove;
}
requestAnimationFrame(move);
}(start));
}

could you do something like this to account for the last iteration?
basically if toMove gets rounded down to 0, but distance hasnt been travelled yet, force it to do scroll one more?
if(toMove > 0 || (toMove == 0 && travelled != distance) {
window.scrollBy(0, (toMove ? toMove : 1));
travelled += toMove;
}
I decided to modify the done logic to move any remaining distance:
// ...
if((1 - fractionDone) <= 0) {
window.scrollBy(0, (distance - travelled)); // Scroll any remaining distance.
return; // Done!
}
// ...
Which, I think, solves the issue.
var move = function() {
Xpos = Math.round(Math.random() * 95);
food[num].css('left', Xpos + '%');
interval = setInterval(function() {
console.log(i);
var posTop = food[num].offset().top / $(window).height() * 100;
while(posTop < 80) {
if(posTop === 80) {
num++;
break;
}
posTop += 1;
food[num].css('top', posTop + '%');
break;
}
}, speed);
}
//Color the circle
circleColor();
move();
}
OK so this is my code. It creates a circle(a <div> element) on top of the screen and gives it a random x coordinate. Than it puts it in food[] array. The entire code starts by clicking the button, but every time I press the button again the circle that was last moving stops, function creates a new one and the new one moves. Is there a way I can make all elements in the array move without depending on each other?

I understand why this happens but I have no idea how to fix it.
First you're using a global variable num in setInterval function handler, so its value get modified while using it in new cercle create, secondly you're clearing interval of the last cercle you created before creating a new cercle. It means you're sharing the same interval between all cercles. Use instead an array of intervals just like var food =[] and use a temporary variable to prevent the index value modification inside your setInterval handler. Here's a working fiddle
//Interval
var interval =[];
var tempNum = num;
interval[num] = setInterval(function() {
var posTop = food[tempNum].offset().top / $(window).height() * 100;
while(posTop < 80) {
if(posTop === 80) {
break;
}
posTop += 1;
food[tempNum].css('top', posTop + '%');
break;
}
}, speed);
Increment your num variable
//Color the circle
circleColor();
move();
num++;
Your move function is only responsible for moving the last generated div via createCircle. If you want to move them all till collision, you need to loop through them all and move them accordingly. Or, you can animate them via CSS.
Here is the working version :
http://jsfiddle.net/yqwjqx31/3/
Notice how the setInterval callback loops through all the div and pushes them down until their height is 80.
var move = function () {
interval = setInterval(function () {
for (var i = 0; i < food.length; ++i) {
var posTop = food[i].offset().top / $(window).height() * 100;
if (posTop < 80) posTop += 1;
food[i].css('top', posTop + '%');
}
}, speed);
}
I was trying to create a auto slide for the slider using setInterval. It works like a charm when there's only one slider.
When there are 2 slider, the first slider wont work, and the second slider will slide faster, because there will be 2 setInterval and both are sliding the second slider. Anyway to make sure each setInterval slide their own slider?
var autoSlideTimer = 5;
var autoslide = setInterval(function () {
if (autoSlideTimer == 0) {
var slideMargin = offsetMarginLeft - width;
if (-slideMargin == (width * totalImages)) {
offsetMarginLeft = width;
displayImage = 0;
}
slider.style.marginLeft = (offsetMarginLeft - width) + 'px';
displayImage += 1;
pagination = element.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
pagination.innerHTML = paginate;
pagination.getElementsByTagName('li')[displayImage - 1].setAttribute("class", "displayed");
slider = element.getElementsByTagName('div')[0];
offsetMarginLeft = parseInt(slider.style.marginLeft.replace('px', ''));
autoSlideTimer = 5;
} else {
autoSlideTimer--;
}
}, 1000);
thanks
I work it out with another way, although is working but doesnt seems to be the perfect way
var event = new Event('build');
// Listen for the event.
element.addEventListener('build', function (e) {
function timeoutLoop()
{
setTimeout(function(){
if(autoSlideTimer == 0)
{
var slideMargin = offsetMarginLeft - width;
if(-slideMargin == (width * totalImages))
{
offsetMarginLeft = width;
displayImage = 0;
}
slider.style.marginLeft = (offsetMarginLeft - width) + 'px';
displayImage += 1;
pagination = element.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
pagination.innerHTML = paginate;
pagination.getElementsByTagName('li')[displayImage - 1].setAttribute("class", "displayed");
offsetMarginLeft = parseInt(slider.style.marginLeft.replace('px', ''));
autoSlideTimer = 5;
}else
{
autoSlideTimer--;
}
timeoutLoop();
},1000);
}
timeoutLoop();
}, false);
// Dispatch the event.
element.dispatchEvent(event);
At first, I used setInterval inside, yet the slider will be overwritten. But setTimeout is ok.
I am using the following code on a website to imitate smooth scrolling:
function scrollWindow() {
// window.scrollBy(1040,0)
var timerID = setInterval(function() {
window.scrollBy(104, 0);
if( window.pageXOffset >= 1040 ) clearInterval(timerID);
}, 10);
}
However, after clicking Scroll (the scrollWindow function) the page scrolls 1040 like it should.
Any subsequent time, it does not work, unless i manually scroll back to the beginning.
Would i be right in thinking that if( window.pageXOffset >= 1040 ) is canceling it because although it hasn't moved 1040, it is past that point on the page?
If so, how can i solve this?
Yes, your assessment is correct; but it could be corrected with a twist in the approach:
function scrollWindow() {
var scrolledSoFar = 0;
var scrollStep = 104;
var scrollEnd = 1040;
var timerID = setInterval(function() {
window.scrollBy(scrollStep, 0);
scrolledSoFar += scrollStep;
if( scrolledSoFar >= scrollEnd ) clearInterval(timerID);
}, 10);
}
Update
Another pitfall in the code is that you are executing scrollBy before checking for the condition. So on your page, even after you have scrolled past 1040, clicking scroll will move the page by one scrollStep amount. To prevent that, this order is better:
function scrollWindow() {
var scrolledSoFar = 0;
var scrollStep = 104;
var scrollEnd = 1040;
var timerID = setInterval(function() {
if( scrolledSoFar < scrollEnd ) {
window.scrollBy(scrollStep, 0);
scrolledSoFar += scrollStep;
} else {
clearInterval(timerID);
}
}, 10);
}
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.
JSFiddle
N.B.Tested in up-to-date versions of Firefox and Chrome on Lubuntu, and Firefox, Chrome and IE on Windows8.
I've made something like this.
I have no idea if its working in IE8.
Tested in IE9, Mozilla, Chrome, Edge.
function scroll(toElement, speed) {
var windowObject = window;
var windowPos = windowObject.pageYOffset;
var pointer = toElement.getAttribute('href').slice(1);
var elem = document.getElementById(pointer);
var elemOffset = elem.offsetTop;
var counter = setInterval(function() {
windowPos;
if (windowPos > elemOffset) { // from bottom to top
windowObject.scrollTo(0, windowPos);
windowPos -= speed;
if (windowPos <= elemOffset) { // scrolling until elemOffset is higher than scrollbar position, cancel interval and set scrollbar to element position
clearInterval(counter);
windowObject.scrollTo(0, elemOffset);
}
} else { // from top to bottom
windowObject.scrollTo(0, windowPos);
windowPos += speed;
if (windowPos >= elemOffset) { // scroll until scrollbar is lower than element, cancel interval and set scrollbar to element position
clearInterval(counter);
windowObject.scrollTo(0, elemOffset);
}
}
}, 1);
}
//call example
var navPointer = document.getElementsByClassName('nav__anchor');
for (i = 0; i < navPointer.length; i++) {
navPointer[i].addEventListener('click', function(e) {
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);
}
});
}
<button onClick="scrollToSmoothly(document.querySelector('div').offsetTop, 300)">
Scroll To Div (300ms)
</button>

</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){

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();
};
});
}
}
});
