Question

I thought this one was easy but I’m banging my head on the jumping part. I have a page, on this page I have tabs, I want to click on the ‘read’ link so that it (1) opens the tab and (2) jumps to that part of the page so user can keep reading. My code:

<a onclick="$('a[href=#tab-read]').click();">Read</a>

Like I said, works just fine, opens the tab I need but doesn’t actually make the jump to it? I still have to scroll down the page to get to the content area.

Answer 1

Try this out, you can force the window to go anchor tag, or change up the selector to go to the desired element 🙂

$(window).scrollTop($('a[href=#tab-read]').offset().top);
