I've just started to code, and am learning all there is to know about JQuery. I have a navbar with 'About' and 'What is this' anchors. The specific content for the respective anchors are in different sections of the page. If I click an anchor, say 'About', I want to jump to the 'About-content' section of the webpage. I have read of plugins which do this, but is there any way to do this simply using JQuery? I tried doing what was told in an answer to a similar question but it doesn't work.
HTML
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="About"> <a href="#"> About </a></li>
<li class="How-it-works"> <a href="#"> How it works </a></li>
</ul>
......
......
<div class="About-content">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<p> text text text </p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
JQuery
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.About').click(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$('body, html').animate({
scrollTop: $(".About-content").offset.top
}, 600);
})
}

- Define "it doesn't work," how does it not work? What goes wrong? Are there any error messages in your browser console? – David Thomas Commented Mar 2, 2016 at 4:38

Reset to default 2Use the id attribute to your target div:
<div id="About-content">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<p>text text text</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Set Nav link to the Div id:
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="About"> <a href="#About-content"> About </a>
</li>
<li class="How-it-works"> <a href="#"> How it works </a>
</li>
</ul>
Use the following simple jquery for smooth scroll:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".About a").click(function() {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#About-content").offset().top
}, 2000);
});
});
- Change your target
.About-contentto an#About-content - Change the
hrefto#About-content - Remove
e.preventDefault()
It should function without jQ/JS but if you add easing to your animation then it'd be useful.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.About').click(function(event) {
$('body, html').animate({
scrollTop: $("#About-content").offset().top
}, 600);
});
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="About"> <a href="#About-content"> About </a>
</li>
<li class="How-it-works"> <a href="#"> How it works </a>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="height: 1000px;"></div>
<div id="About-content">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<p>text text text</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>Say you have an Nav like this ,
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="About"> <a href="#About-content"> About </a></li>
<li class="How-it-works"> <a href="#HowItWorks"> How it works </a> </li>
</ul>
And assuming a div like what you have,
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".navbar-nav a").on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var hash = this.hash;
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(hash).offset().top
}, 1000, function(){
window.location.hash = hash;
});
});
})
Will animate to the respective areas. Here hash holds the values after # from your <a>tags.
IMHO, its better to bind the click event on the .nav instead of binding with separate <a>'s.
Well i don't know about jquery. but you can do it more simply by bootstrap. Like this. It is called bootstrap scrollspy. If you like the answer please rate it. :)
