Smooth page scroll to an anchor

  Previous article Next article  

With jQuery you can easily create nice smooth page scrolls to different content blocks. See this demo!

  How to use

This feature uses jQuery, so to start with you need to call the jQuery library in your template. If you already have it there because another module uses it, you don't need to add it twice!

Add this little jQuery code in your template:

{cms_jquery}

<script>
  jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $(".scroll").click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $('html,body').animate( { scrollTop:$(this.hash).offset().top } , 1000);
    } );
  } );
</script>

In your template or page you can use the anchors like this:

<a id="top"></a>

<ul>
<li><a href="#anchor1" class="scroll">Scroll to anchor 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#anchor2" class="scroll">Scroll to anchor 2</a></li>
</ul>

<a id="anchor1"></a>
<p>Lorem</p>
<a href="#top" class="scroll">Scroll back to top</a>

<a id="anchor2"></a>
<p>Ipsum</p>
<a href="#top" class="scroll">Scroll back to top</a>

  Working example

Here a little demonstration:

#2. Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?
