Question

I am currently using jQuery’s .scrollTop which works perfectly for moving the user back to the top of the page. And since I really like the effect, I would like to make it possible to scroll to some asigned div or anchor point.

Is this possible? If yes, how can I do this? Can someone give me an example?
I want also to retain the scrollTop function itself.

I already checked Stackflow, but or this is not possible, or I overlooked a similar question (in that case I am sorry for posting a new question).

Here is a link to scrollTop: http://api.jquery.com/scrollTop/

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

A simple jQuery function can achieve this:

function scrollTo(id){
    $('html,body').animate({
        scrollTop: $("#"+id).offset().top},
        'slow');
}
