Question

Chrome fails to follow a link and then scroll.

For example if I am on the home page of my website (nanite.com.au) and the user clicks a link that contains products.html#build or http://nanite.com.au/products.html#build it fails to redirect to the new page. However the address bar does change to http://nanite.com.au/index.html#products.html#build

Is this Chrome or have I coded something incorrectly?
Just to clarify, if I am on the products.html page the scrolling works perfectly.

If you look in the javascript that you’re using for the scrolling effect we find this:

$(document).ready(function()
{
       $('a[href*=#]').bind("click", jump);
       return false;
});

Basically any link that has a # in it will be made to scroll instead of actually changing page.

You need to change this so it looks for where href begins with #. So you would change it to:

$(document).ready(function()
{
       $('a[href^=#]').bind("click", jump);
       return false;
});

Notice that $('a[href*=#]') has become $('a[href^=#]').
