How can I scroll to a specific location on the page using jquery?

Is it possible to scroll to a specific location on the page using jQuery?

Does the location I want to scroll to have to have:

<a name="#123">here</a>

Or can it just move to a specific DOM id?

You can use scroll-behavior: smooth; to get this done without Javascript

Using jquery.easing.min.js, With fixed IE console Errors

Html

<a class="page-scroll" href="#features">Features</a>
<section id="features" class="features-section">Features Section</section>


        <!-- jQuery (necessary for Bootstrap's JavaScript plugins) -->
        <script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
        <!-- Include all compiled plugins (below), or include individual files as needed -->
        <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

        <!-- Scrolling Nav JavaScript -->
        <script src="js/jquery.easing.min.js"></script>

Jquery

//jQuery to collapse the navbar on scroll, you can use this code with in external file with name scrolling-nav.js
        $(window).scroll(function () {
            if ($(".navbar").offset().top > 50) {
                $(".navbar-fixed-top").addClass("top-nav-collapse");
            } else {
                $(".navbar-fixed-top").removeClass("top-nav-collapse");
            }
        });
        //jQuery for page scrolling feature - requires jQuery Easing plugin
        $(function () {
            $('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function (event) {
                var anchor = $(this);
                if ($(anchor).length > 0) {
                    var href = $(anchor).attr('href');
                    if ($(href.substring(href.indexOf('#'))).length > 0) {
                        $('html, body').stop().animate({
                            scrollTop: $(href.substring(href.indexOf('#'))).offset().top
                        }, 1500, 'easeInOutExpo');
                    }
                    else {
                        window.location = href;
                    }
                }
                event.preventDefault();
            });
        });

Try this

<div id="divRegister"></div>

$(document).ready(function() {
location.hash = "divRegister";
});

Yep, even in plain JavaScript it's pretty easy. You give an element an id and then you can use that as a "bookmark":

<div id="here">here</div>

If you want it to scroll there when a user clicks a link, you can just use the tried-and-true method:

<a href="#here">scroll to over there</a>

To do it programmatically, use scrollIntoView()

document.getElementById("here").scrollIntoView()

Here is variant of @juraj-blahunka's lightweight approach. This function does not assume the container is the document and only scrolls if the item is out of view. Animation queuing is also disabled to avoid unnecessary bouncing.

$.fn.scrollToView = function () {
    return $.each(this, function () {
        if ($(this).position().top < 0 ||
            $(this).position().top + $(this).height() > $(this).parent().height()) {
            $(this).parent().animate({
                scrollTop: $(this).parent().scrollTop() + $(this).position().top
            }, {
                duration: 300,
                queue: false
            });
        }
    });
};

jQuery Scroll Plugin

since this is a question tagged with jquery i have to say, that this library has a very nice plugin for smooth scrolling, you can find it here: http://plugins.jquery.com/scrollTo/

Excerpts from Documentation:

$('div.pane').scrollTo(...);//all divs w/class pane

or

$.scrollTo(...);//the plugin will take care of this

Custom jQuery function for scrolling

you can use a very lightweight approach by defining your custom scroll jquery function

$.fn.scrollView = function () {
    return this.each(function () {
        $('html, body').animate({
            scrollTop: $(this).offset().top
        }, 1000);
    });
}

and use it like:

$('#your-div').scrollView();

Scroll to a page coordinates

Animate html and body elements with scrollTop or scrollLeft attributes

$('html, body').animate({
    scrollTop: 0,
    scrollLeft: 300
}, 1000);

Plain javascript

scrolling with window.scroll

window.scroll(horizontalOffset, verticalOffset);

only to sum up, use the window.location.hash to jump to element with ID

window.location.hash = '#your-page-element';

Directly in HTML (accesibility enhancements)

<a href="#your-page-element">Jump to ID</a>

<div id="your-page-element">
    will jump here
</div>

<div id="idVal">
    <!--div content goes here-->
</div>
...
<script type="text/javascript">
     $(document).ready(function(){
         var divLoc = $('#idVal').offset();
         $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: divLoc.top}, "slow");
     });
</script>

This example shows to locate to a particular div id i.e, 'idVal' in this case. If you have subsequent divs/tables that will open up in this page via ajax, then you can assign unique divs and call the script to scroll to the particular location for each contents of divs.

Hope this will be useful.

There is no need to use any plugin, you can do it like this:

var divPosition = $('#divId').offset();

then use this to scroll document to specific DOM:

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

Here's a pure javascript version:

location.hash = '#123';

It'll scroll automatically. Remember to add the "#" prefix.
