With this solution you do not need any plugin and there’s no setup required besides placing the script before your closing </body> tag.

$("a[href^='#']").on("click", function(e) {
  $("html, body").animate({
    scrollTop: $($(this).attr("href")).offset().top
  }, 1000);
  return false;
});

if ($(window.location.hash).length > 1) {
  $("html, body").animate({
    scrollTop: $(window.location.hash).offset().top
  }, 1000);
}

On load, if there is a hash in the address, we scroll to it.

And – whenever you click an a link with an href hash e.g. #top, we scroll to it.

##Edit 2020

If you want a pure JavaScript solution: you could perhaps instead use something like:

var _scrollToElement = function (selector) {
  try {
    document.querySelector(selector).scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' });
  } catch (e) {
    console.warn(e);
  }
}

var _scrollToHashesInHrefs = function () {
  document.querySelectorAll("a[href^='#']").forEach(function (el) {
    el.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
      _scrollToElement(el.getAttribute('href'));
      return false;
    })
  })
  if (window.location.hash) {
    _scrollToElement(window.location.hash);
  }
}

_scrollToHashesInHrefs();

I set up a module scroll-element npm install scroll-element. It works like this:

import { scrollToElement, scrollWindowToElement } from 'scroll-element'

/* scroll the window to your target element, duration and offset optional */
let targetElement = document.getElementById('my-item')
scrollWindowToElement(targetElement)

/* scroll the overflow container element to your target element, duration and offset optional */
let containerElement = document.getElementById('my-container')
let targetElement = document.getElementById('my-item')
scrollToElement(containerElement, targetElement)

Written with help from the following SO posts:

• offset-top-of-an-element-without-jquery

• scrolltop-animation-without-jquery

Here is the code:

export const scrollToElement = function(containerElement, targetElement, duration, offset) {
  if (duration == null) { duration = 1000 }
  if (offset == null) { offset = 0 }

  let targetOffsetTop = getElementOffset(targetElement).top
  let containerOffsetTop = getElementOffset(containerElement).top
  let scrollTarget = targetOffsetTop + ( containerElement.scrollTop - containerOffsetTop)
  scrollTarget += offset
  scroll(containerElement, scrollTarget, duration)
}

export const scrollWindowToElement = function(targetElement, duration, offset) {
  if (duration == null) { duration = 1000 }
  if (offset == null) { offset = 0 }

  let scrollTarget = getElementOffset(targetElement).top
  scrollTarget += offset
  scrollWindow(scrollTarget, duration)
}

function scroll(containerElement, scrollTarget, duration) {
  let scrollStep = scrollTarget / (duration / 15)
  let interval = setInterval(() => {
    if ( containerElement.scrollTop < scrollTarget ) {
      containerElement.scrollTop += scrollStep
    } else {
      clearInterval(interval)
    }
  },15)
}

function scrollWindow(scrollTarget, duration) {
  let scrollStep = scrollTarget / (duration / 15)
  let interval = setInterval(() => {
    if ( window.scrollY < scrollTarget ) {
      window.scrollBy( 0, scrollStep )
    } else {
      clearInterval(interval)
    }
  },15)
}

function getElementOffset(element) {
  let de = document.documentElement
  let box = element.getBoundingClientRect()
  let top = box.top + window.pageYOffset - de.clientTop
  let left = box.left + window.pageXOffset - de.clientLeft
  return { top: top, left: left }
}

$('html, body').animate(...) does not work for me in the iPhone, Android, Chrome, or Safari browsers.

I had to target the root content element of the page.

$(‘#content’).animate(…)

Here is what I have ended up with:

if (navigator.userAgent.match(/(iPod|iPhone|iPad|Android)/)) {
    $('#content').animate({
    scrollTop: $("#elementtoScrollToID").offset().top
   }, 'slow');
}
else{
    $('html, body').animate({
    scrollTop: $("#elementtoScrollToID").offset().top
    }, 'slow');
}

All body content wired up with a #content div

<html>
    ....
    <body>
        <div id="content">
        ...
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

[user7601056]

Animations:

// slide to top of the page
$('.up').click(function () {
    $("html, body").animate({
        scrollTop: 0
    }, 600);
    return false;
});

// slide page to anchor
$('.menutop b').click(function(){
    //event.preventDefault();
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: $( $(this).attr('href') ).offset().top
    }, 600);
    return false;
});

// Scroll to class, div
$("#button").click(function() {
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: $("#target-element").offset().top
    }, 1000);
});

// div background animate
$(window).scroll(function () {

    var x = $(this).scrollTop();

    // freezze div background
    $('.banner0').css('background-position', '0px ' + x +'px');

    // from left to right
    $('.banner0').css('background-position', x+'px ' +'0px');

    // from right to left
    $('.banner0').css('background-position', -x+'px ' +'0px');

    // from bottom to top
    $('#skills').css('background-position', '0px ' + -x + 'px');

    // move background from top to bottom
    $('.skills1').css('background-position', '0% ' + parseInt(-x / 1) + 'px' + ', 0% ' + parseInt(-x / 1) + 'px, center top');

    // Show hide mtop menu  
    if ( x > 100 ) {
    $( ".menu" ).addClass( 'menushow' );
    $( ".menu" ).fadeIn("slow");
    $( ".menu" ).animate({opacity: 0.75}, 500);
    } else {
    $( ".menu" ).removeClass( 'menushow' );
    $( ".menu" ).animate({opacity: 1}, 500);
    }

});

// progres bar animation simple
$('.bar1').each(function(i) {
  var width = $(this).data('width');  
  $(this).animate({'width' : width + '%' }, 900, function(){
    // Animation complete
  });  
});

If you want to scroll within an overflow container (instead of $('html, body') answered above), working also with absolute positioning, this is the way to do :

var elem = $('#myElement'),
    container = $('#myScrollableContainer'),
    pos = elem.position().top + container.scrollTop() - container.position().top;

container.animate({
  scrollTop: pos
}

Easy way to achieve the scroll of page to target div id

var targetOffset = $('#divID').offset().top;
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop: targetOffset}, 1000);

[cynya]

This is Atharva’s answer from: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/element.scrollIntoView.
Just wanted to add if your document is in an iframe, you can choose an element in the parent frame to scroll into view:

 $('#element-in-parent-frame', window.parent.document).get(0).scrollIntoView();

[polaris]

This worked for me:

var targetOffset = $('#elementToScrollTo').offset().top;
$('#DivParent').animate({scrollTop: targetOffset}, 2500);

[object-object]

This is achievable without jQuery:

document.getElementById("element-id").scrollIntoView();

Updated answer as of 2019:

$('body').animate({
    scrollTop: $('#subject').offset().top - $('body').offset().top + $('body').scrollTop()
}, 'fast');

[minguocode]

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  $('a[href^="#"]').bind('click.smoothscroll',function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var target = this.hash,
        $target = $(target);

    $('html, body').stop().animate( {
      'scrollTop': $target.offset().top-40
    }, 900, 'swing', function () {
      window.location.hash = target;
    } );
  } );
} );

This is the way I do it.

document.querySelector('scrollHere').scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' })

Works in any browser.

It can easily be wrapped into a function

function scrollTo(selector) {
    document.querySelector(selector).scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' })
}

Here is a working example

$(".btn").click(function() {
  document.getElementById("scrollHere").scrollIntoView( {behavior: "smooth" })
})

.btn {margin-bottom: 500px;}
.middle {display: block; margin-bottom: 500px; color: red;}

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<button class="btn">Scroll down</button>

<h1 class="middle">You see?</h1>

<div id="scrollHere">Arrived at your destination</div>

You just need:

$("selector").get(0).scrollTo(0, 0)

[vu-viet-hung]

After finding the way to get my code work, I think I should make thing a bit clear:
For using:

$('html, body').animate({
   scrollTop: $("#div1").offset().top
}, 2000);

you need to be on top of the page since $("#div1").offset().top will return different numbers for different positions you scroll to. If you already scrolled out of the top, you need to specify the exact pageY value (see pageY definition here: https://javascript.info/coordinates).

So now, the problem is to calculate the pageY value of one element. Below is an example in case the scroll container is the body:

function getPageY(id) {
    let elem = document.getElementById(id);
    let box = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
    var body = document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0];
    return box.top + body.scrollTop; // for window scroll: box.top + window.scrollY;
}

The above function returns the same number even if you scrolled somewhere. Now, to scroll back to that element:

$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: getPageY('div1') }, "slow");
