    use return false / event.preventDefault on your links

    var myLink = document.location.toString();
    
    if (myLink.match('#')) {
        $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 0); // OR
        $(window).scrollTop();
        return false;
    }
    

    Or do you mean that you want o smooth scroll to the position of the ID you are refering to in your hash sign?

    after reading your comments ignore this message.
