Question

I have a simple page setup such as:

<div id="aboutUs">
  About us content...
</div>
<div id="header">
  Header content...
</div>

When the page loads, I need the page to automatically scroll down (no animation needed) to #header, so the user cannot see the About Us div unless they scroll up.

#aboutUs has a fixed height, so there isn’t any need for any variables to determine the height or anything… if that’s even needed.

I came across this other question and tried to modify some of the answers for my situation, but nothing seemed to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Description

You can do this using jQuery’s .scrollTop() and .offset() method

Check out my sample and this jsFiddle Demonstration

Sample

$(function() {
    $(document).scrollTop( $("#header").offset().top );  
});
