Question

I have a link on my page that when clicked uses .$get and then append to load content into a div#top-main-content. After this content is loaded I want the page to scroll down to the content that was loaded into #top-main-content. How can I achieve this?

  $(document).ready(function()
                          {

                              $('a.newsflash1').click(function() 
                                {
$('html,body').animate({
                                    scrollTop: '+=' + $('#scrollTo').offset().top + 'px'
                                    }, 'fast');
                                    $('#top-main-content').empty();

                                    $.get('index.xml', function(c){

                                    $(c).find('news_story').each(function(){

                                        var $story = $(this); 
                                        var storyTitle = $story.find("story_title").text();
                                        var storyCompany = $story.find("story_company").text();
                                        var storyAuthor = $story.find("story_author").text();
                                        var storyYear = $story.find("story_date").attr("year");
                                        var storyMonth = $story.find("story_date").attr("month");
                                        var storyDay = $story.find("story_date").attr("day");
                                        var description = $story.find('story_content').text();

                                        var html = '<div class="story-content darkborder">';
                                        html += '<div class="story-contrast lightborder">';
                                        html += '<h3 class="story-title">' + storyTitle + '</h3>';
                                        html += '<div class="story-copyright">';
                                            html += '<p class="story-company">'+ storyCompany +'</p>';
                                            html += '<p class="story-author">'+ storyAuthor +'</p>';
                                            html += '<p class="story-date">'+ storyYear+'.'+storyMonth+'.'+storyDay +'</p>';
                                        html += '</div>';
                                        html += '<p class="story-body">' +  description + '</p>';
                                        html += '</div>';
                                        html += '</div>';


                                        $('#top-main-content').append($(html));

                                        window.location.hash = '#top-main-content';

                                    });
                                });
                            });
                        });

Okay I have figured it out with the below code :

$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: '+=' + $('#scrollTo').offset().top + 'px'
}, 'fast');

I’ve also fixed my code above so that you can see how it works.

Answer 1

Try this:

window.location.hash = '#top-main-content';

Or try this scrollTo plugin
