I have implemented the CSS Tricks Smooth Page Scroll on my site and it's working pretty nicely. However, because I have a fixed nav at the top of the page, when the page scrolls to the appropriate anchor div, the top of the div disappears behind the nav. How can I offset the scroll (about 70px) so that the whole div is shown? I tried doing this:
var targetOffset = $target.offset().top - 70;
But that doesn't quite work. The page scrolls to the appropriate spot but then it immediately jumps back up so that the top of the div is hidden. What am I missing? Here's the code in full:
$(function() {
function filterPath(string) {
return string
.replace(/^\//,'')
.replace(/(index|default).[a-zA-Z]{3,4}$/,'')
.replace(/\/$/,'');
}
var locationPath = filterPath(location.pathname);
var scrollElem = scrollableElement('html', 'body');
// Any links with hash tags in them (can't do ^= because of fully qualified URL potential)
$('a[href*=#]').each(function() {
// Ensure it's a same-page link
var thisPath = filterPath(this.pathname) || locationPath;
if ( locationPath == thisPath
&& (location.hostname == this.hostname || !this.hostname)
&& this.hash.replace(/#/,'') ) {
// Ensure target exists
var $target = $(this.hash), target = this.hash;
if (target) {
// Find location of target
var targetOffset = $target.offset().top - 70;
$(this).click(function(event) {
// Prevent jump-down
event.preventDefault();
// Animate to target
$(scrollElem).animate({scrollTop: targetOffset}, 400, function() {
// Set hash in URL after animation successful
location.hash = target;
});
});
}
}
});
// Use the first element that is "scrollable" (cross-browser fix?)
function scrollableElement(els) {
for (var i = 0, argLength = arguments.length; i <argLength; i++) {
var el = arguments[i],
$scrollElement = $(el);
if ($scrollElement.scrollTop()> 0) {
return el;
} else {
$scrollElement.scrollTop(1);
var isScrollable = $scrollElement.scrollTop()> 0;
$scrollElement.scrollTop(0);
if (isScrollable) {
return el;
}
}
}
return [];
}
});
Thanks in advance for your help.
This always happens. I search and search for an answer, get frustrated, post a question asking for help, and then immediately find an answer to my problem. Silly. Anyway, here's the solution for anyone who might be having the same problem.
If you want to change the offset by 70px, for example, change the code to this:
var targetOffset = $target.offset().top - 70;
However, unless you remove this line from the code...
location.hash = target;
... the page will scroll to the right spot and then immediately jump back up so that the top of the div is hidden behind the header. You can remove the above line from the code and everything will work great, except for the fact that the URL will no longer change to reflect the user's position on the page.
If you want the URL to change (and I think this is a good idea for usability purposes), then all you have to do is change the CSS for the anchor divs. Add a positive value for padding-top and a negative value for margin-top. For example:
#anchor-name {
padding-top: 70px;
margin-top: -70px;
}
I only have 3 divs, so I just plugged in that CSS to each of them and voila, everything worked. However, if you have a lot of anchor divs, you might consider creating a class of .anchor, putting the CSS there, and applying the class to all the appropriate divs.
I hope this helps!
I have fixed such a kind of issue with below code:
Working demo HERE. You can play with "Post Topics" section in the sidebar and content in the main-content area.
Code
jQuery(function() {
jQuery('a[href*=#]:not([href=#])').click(function() {
if (location.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') == this.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') && location.hostname == this.hostname) {
var target = jQuery(this.hash);
target = target.length ? target : jQuery('[name=' + this.hash.slice(1) +']');
if (target.length) {
jQuery('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: target.offset().top -100
}, 1000);
return false;
}
}
});
});
Refer to https://codepen.io/pikeshmn/pen/mMxEdZ
Approach: We get the height of fixed nav using document.getElementById('header').offsetHeight
And offset the scroll to this value.
var jump=function(e){
e.preventDefault(); //prevent "hard" jump
var target = $(this).attr("href"); //get the target
//perform animated scrolling
$('html,body').animate(
{
scrollTop: $(target).offset().top - document.getElementById('header').offsetHeight - 5 //get top-position of target-element and set it as scroll target
},1000,function() //scrolldelay: 1 seconds
{
location.hash = target; //attach the hash (#jumptarget) to the pageurl
});
}
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('a[href*="#"]').bind("click", jump); //get all hrefs
return false;
});
Actually there's a CSS rule for that : scroll-padding-top :)
Combined with a regular padding-top for the top-most element of course.
cf. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/scroll-padding-top
CSS scroll margin or padding
/* Scroll to 2rem above the target */
:target {
scroll-margin-top: 2rem;
}
/* Bonus for a smooth scrolling experience */
body {
scroll-behavior: smooth;
}
Read more about scroll margin and scroll padding on MDN.

I have a div called #menu which I want to display when I scroll past the element #section3, if I scroll up past that element again, I want #menu to disappear
How would I code this?
Maybe something like this?
scrolled = "no"
$(window).scroll(function(){
scr = $("body").scrollTop();
if (scr > 100 && scrolled == "no"){
$("#menu").css({"display:block"})
displayed = "yes"
}
if (displayed == "yes" && scrolled = "yes"){
$("#menu").css({"display:none"})
}
});
The above assumes that #section3 is 100 pixels down the page. If you do not know where its going to be on the page then you could use the method outlined here:
Trigger event when user scroll to specific element - with jQuery
With jQuery you can get the scroll position with $("body").scrollTop();.
Expanding on what #Ned Hulton said, I recommend comparing the scroll position to the top of a "container element" (or 'row') in your page like this:
if ($('body').scrollTop() > $('#someRow').offset().top){
//do something
}
That way you can account for your container appearing at a variable distance down the page (which will come in handy for mobile browsing or cases where your text wraps to additional lines)
I just whipped this up in jsfiddle
https://jsfiddle.net/rb56j0yu/
it uses jQuery, and checks the scroll position against the target div. Css sets the menu as position: fixed, and defaults to hidden.
$(window).scroll(function(){
var yPos = $("body").scrollTop();
var yCheck = $("#c3").position().top;
if (yPos > yCheck && !$("#menu").is(":visible"))
{
$("#menu").show();
}
if (yPos <= yCheck && $("#menu").is(":visible"))
{
$("#menu").hide();
}
});
First, get your #section3 top offset and height. Which will be used as the threshold whether #section3 is actually on the window screen.
var top = $('#section3').offset().top;
var bot = topOffset + $('#section3').height();
Then, detect it on your scroll event.
$(window).on('scroll', function () {
var scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
if (scrollTop >= top && scrollTop <= bot) {
// #section3 is within the screen.
$('#menu').show();
}
else {
// #section3 is out of screen.
$('#menu').hide();
}
});
This is a common use case, I wrote following code:
// what does "Auto Header" mean, goto https://www.yahoo.com/
// scroll down and you will see the purple part auto fixed to top,
// while when scroll up, it restores and does not be fixed.
// 1. multiple auto header elements handled
// 2. dynamically create/remove elements issue handled
// 3. no unnecessary dom operation, high performance
// usage: just add 'class="auto-header"' to any element you want to auto header
// suggest set each auto-header element specific width and height
// do not guarantee it works when resize or scroll left/right
$(document).ready(function() {
var rawTops = [],
rawLefts = [],
rawStyles = [],
$locations = [], // record next sibling so that element easily find where to restore
fixed = []; // mark whether this element is fixed
$(".auto-header").each(function() {
var $this = $(this),
offset = $this.offset();
rawTops.push(offset.top);
rawLefts.push(offset.left);
rawStyles.push($this.attr("style"));
$locations.push($this.siblings().eq($this.index()));
fixed.push(false);
});
$(window).on("scroll", function() {
$(".auto-header").each(function(i, e) {
if(!fixed[i] && $(window).scrollTop() > rawTops[i]) {
var $te = $(this).clone(true);
$(this).remove();
$locations[i].before($te);
$te.css({
"position": "fixed",
"top": 0,
"left": rawLefts[i],
"z-index": 100
});
fixed[i] = true;
} else if(fixed[i] && $(window).scrollTop() < rawTops[i]) {
$(this).removeAttr("style").attr("style", rawStyles[i]);
fixed[i] = false;
}
});
});
});
I'm currently using a combination of smooth scroll and IDs/anchor tags to scroll to content on my site. The code below is getting the ID of the next 'section' in the DOM, and adding it's ID as the 'view next section' href, so once it's clicked, it'll scroll to the top of that div. Then, it iterates through, updating the href with the next ID each time etc until the last section is seen and it scrolls back to the top. Pretty straightforward.
The only problem is that the 'sections' are fullscreen images, so as it's scrolling to the top of the next section, if you resize the browser, the top position of that section (where we scrolled to) has moved, and means the position is lost.
I've created a JSFiddle. You can see this happening after you click the arrow to visit the next section then resize the window: http://jsfiddle.net/WFQ9t/3/
I'm wanting to keep this top position fixed at all times so even if you resize the browser, the scroll position is updated to reflect this.
Thanks in advance,
R
var firstSectionID = $('body .each-section').eq(1).attr('id');
$('.next-section').attr('href', '#' + firstSectionID);
var i = 1;
$('.next-section').click(function() {
var nextSectionID = $('body .each-section').eq(i).attr('id');
i++;
$('.next-section').attr('href', '#' + nextSectionID);
var numberOfSections = $('body .each-section').length;
var lastSectionID = $('body .each-section').eq(numberOfSections).attr('id');
if ($('.next-section').attr('href') == '#' + lastSectionID ) {
$('.next-section').attr('href', '#introduction');
i = 1;
}
});
Ok, Please check out this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/WFQ9t/9/
The few things I did were:
Made some global variables to handle the screen number (which screen you're on and also the initial window height. You will use this when the screen loads and also when you click on the .next-session arrow.
var initWinHeight = $(window).height();
var numSection = 0;
Then I tossed those variables into your resizeContent() function
resizeContent(initWinHeight, numSection)
so that it will work on load and resize
I made the body move around where it needs to, to accomodate for the movement of the divs (I still don't understand what divs are moving when the regular animation happens).
$('body').css({
top: (((windowHeight - initWinHeight)*numSection)*-1) + "px"
});
Then in your click function, I add 1 to the section number, reset the initial window height and then also reset the body to top:0. The normal animation you have already puts the next section at the top of the page.
numSection++;
initWinHeight = $(window).height();
$('body').css({top:"0px"}, 1000);
Finally, I reset the numSections counter when you reach the last page (You might have to make this 0 instead of 1)
numSection = 0;
The fiddle has all of this in the correct places, these are just the steps I took to change the code.
Here is a solution that i found, but I dont use anchor links at this point, i use classes
Here is my HTML code:
<section class="section">
Section 1
</section>
<section class="section">
Section 2
</section>
<section class="section">
Section 3
</section>
<section class="section">
Section 4
</section>
And here is my jQuery/Javascript code,
I actually used a preety simple way:
$('.section').first().addClass('active');
/* handle the mousewheel event together with
DOMMouseScroll to work on cross browser */
$(document).on('mousewheel DOMMouseScroll', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();//prevent the default mousewheel scrolling
var active = $('.section.active');
//get the delta to determine the mousewheel scrol UP and DOWN
var delta = e.originalEvent.detail < 0 || e.originalEvent.wheelDelta > 0 ? 1 : -1;
//if the delta value is negative, the user is scrolling down
if (delta < 0) {
next = active.next();
//check if the next section exist and animate the anchoring
if (next.hasClass('section')) {
var timer = setTimeout(function () {
$('body, html').animate({
scrollTop: next.offset().top
}, 800);
next.addClass('active')
.siblings().removeClass('active');
clearTimeout(timer);
}, 200);
}
} else {
prev = active.prev();
if (prev.length) {
var timer = setTimeout(function () {
$('body, html').animate({
scrollTop: prev.offset().top
}, 800);
prev.addClass('active')
.siblings().removeClass('active');
clearTimeout(timer);
}, 200);
}
}
});
/*THE SIMPLE SOLUTION*/
$(window).resize(function(){
var active = $('.section.active')
$('body, html').animate({
scrollTop: active.offset().top
}, 10);
});
Due to css properties my scrolling to div tags has too much margin-top. So I see jquery as the best solution to get this fixed.
I'm not sure why this isn't working, I'm very new to Js and Jquery. Any help us greatly appreciated.
Here is a quick look at Js. I found that when your div ids are in containers to change the ('html, body') to ('container)
Here is my jsfiddle
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var prevScrollTop = 0;
var $scrollDiv = jQuery('div#container');
var $currentDiv = $scrollDiv.children('div:first-child');
var $sectionid = 1;
var $numsections = 5;
$scrollDiv.scroll(function(eventObj)
{
var curScrollTop = $scrollDiv.scrollTop();
if (prevScrollTop < curScrollTop)
{
// Scrolling down:
if ($sectionid+1 > $numsections) {
console.log("End Panel Reached");
}
else {
$currentDiv = $currentDiv.next().scrollTo();
console.log("down");
console.log($currentDiv);
$sectionid=$sectionid+1;
console.log($currentDiv.attr('id'));
var divid =$currentDiv.attr('id');
jQuery('#container').animate({scrollTop:jQuery('#'+divid).position().top}, 'slow');
}
}
else if (prevScrollTop > curScrollTop)
{
// Scrolling up:
if ($sectionid-1 == 0) {
console.log("Top Panel Reached");
}
else {
$currentDiv = $currentDiv.prev().scrollTo();
console.log("up");
console.log($currentDiv);
$sectionid=$sectionid-1;
var divid =$currentDiv.attr('id');
jQuery('html, body').animate({scrollTop:jQuery('#'+divid).position().top}, 'slow');
}
}
prevScrollTop = curScrollTop;
});
});
I'm not entirely sure what you want but scrolling to a <div> with jQuery is simpler than your code.
For example this code replaces the automatic jumping behaviour of anchors with smoother scrolling:
$(document).ready(function(e){
$('.side-nav').on('click', 'a', function (e) {
var $this = $(this);
var top = $($this.attr('href')).offset().top;
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: top
}, 'slow');
e.preventDefault();
});
});
You can of course adjust the top variable by adding or removing from it like:
var top = $($this.attr('href')).offset().top - 10;
I have also made a fiddle from it (on top of your HTML): http://jsfiddle.net/Qn5hG/8/
If this doesn't help you or your question is something different, please clarify it!
EDIT:
Problems with your fiddle:
jQuery is not referenced
You don't need jQuery(document).ready() if the jQuery framework is selected with "onLoad". Remove the first and last line of your JavaScript.
There is no div#container in your HTML so it's no reason to check where it is scrolled. And the scroll event will never fire on it.
Your HTML is invalid. There are a lot of unclosed elements and random tags at the end. Make sure it's valid.
It's very hard to figure out what your fiddle is supposed to do.
I have added top menu as a div with position: fixed.
It's placed in the top of the page, so it covers part of the content.
I moved the layout down, so generally it's ok, BUT if user clicks any anchor link, the page scrolled to where the anchor is on top. But it's covered by the top menu.
Is there a way to catch anchor event and process it with javascript (and jQuery if necessary)?
You can use something like this:
$('a').click(function(){
$('html').scrollTop($($(this).attr('href')).position().top + menu_height_offset)
})
To get the anchor position
$($(this).attr('href')).position().top
To make the offset related to the fixed menu
menu_height_offset
To make move the scroll
$('html').scrollTop()
http://api.jquery.com/scrollTop/
http://api.jquery.com/position/
You need to calculate the offset of the element and sroll to the offset of element - height of the navigationbar - position:
$("a").on("click",function(){
// height of the navigation bar
var height= $("#nav").outerHeight();
// position of the referenced dom-element
var pos = $($(this).attr("href")).position().top;
// scroll to the element
$("body").scrollTop(pos - height);
// suppress default
return false;
})
See it in action here.
/* START --- scroll till anchor */
(function($) {
$.fn.goTo = function() {
var top_menu_height=$('#div_menu_header').height() + 5 ;
//alert ( 'top_menu_height is:' + top_menu_height );
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: (-1)*top_menu_height + $(this).offset().top + 'px'
}, 500);
return this; // for chaining...
}
})(jQuery);
$(document).ready(function(){
var url = document.URL, idx = url.indexOf("#") ;
var hash = idx != -1 ? url.substring(idx+1) : "";
$(window).load(function(){
// Remove the # from the hash, as different browsers may or may not include it
var anchor_to_scroll_to = location.hash.replace('#','');
if ( anchor_to_scroll_to != '' ) {
anchor_to_scroll_to = '#' + anchor_to_scroll_to ;
$(anchor_to_scroll_to).goTo();
}
});
});
/* STOP --- scroll till anchror */
I am currently using a smooth scroll script from css tricks.
The problem I'm having is that I have used 's as links with onclick links to anchor elements.
You can see it here. The problem is the script doesn't look for what I need it to, the links at the top (the divs) do not get found by the script so do not smoothly scroll to the anchor. Whereas the about, services, contact links (the text ones inside the green thingys) scroll smoothly.
I am complete jquery and javascript noob and do not know how to alter the script to include the onclick divs or to make a script to make it scroll smoothly to the anchors.
I need the script to scroll smoothly from both the div links and text links or I need a duplicate script that works with the div links (2 scripts that do text links and div links - The one I'm using atm only does text)
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
function filterPath(string) {
return string
.replace(/^\//,'')
.replace(/(index|default).[a-zA-Z]{3,4}$/,'')
.replace(/\/$/,'');
}
var locationPath = filterPath(location.pathname);
var scrollElem = scrollableElement('html', 'body');
$('a[href*=#]').each(function() {
var thisPath = filterPath(this.pathname) || locationPath;
if ( locationPath == thisPath
&& (location.hostname == this.hostname || !this.hostname)
&& this.hash.replace(/#/,'') ) {
var $target = $(this.hash), target = this.hash;
if (target) {
var targetOffset = $target.offset().top;
$(this).click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$(scrollElem).animate({scrollTop: targetOffset}, 400, function() {
location.hash = target;
});
});
}
}
});
// use the first element that is "scrollable"
function scrollableElement(els) {
for (var i = 0, argLength = arguments.length; i <argLength; i++) {
var el = arguments[i],
$scrollElement = $(el);
if ($scrollElement.scrollTop()> 0) {
return el;
} else {
$scrollElement.scrollTop(1);
var isScrollable = $scrollElement.scrollTop()> 0;
$scrollElement.scrollTop(0);
if (isScrollable) {
return el;
}
}
}
return [];
}
});
</script>
I don't know if you use a javascript framework like jQuery. For websites like this I always use the jQuery plugin 'Localscroll'. It always works fine cross-browser.
You can see the documentation for the plugin here:
http://flesler.blogspot.com/2007/10/jquerylocalscroll-10.html
It's very easy to use.
Good luck!
You can use anchors instead of divs in the nav, right now you're doing
<div id="whatever" onclick="window.location=#portfolio">portfolio</div>
but that's not semantic, and it doesn't work the way you want it to, so that's doubleplus not good. use
<a id="whatever" href="#portfolio" style="display:block">portfolio</a>
then the code from css tricks should work... if it's clickable it should probably be a button or an anchor.
the anchor tags in your body work as expected, btw...
