SMOOTHLY SCROLL TO AN ELEMENT WITHOUT A JQUERY PLUGIN
Source: http://www.abeautifulsite.net/blog/2010/01/smoothly-scroll-to-an-element-without-a-jquery-plugin/ After spending some time looking for a plugin to do this, I was amazed to see how easy it was to get a smooth scrolling effect using one line of jQuery. You can use this inside of any callback function. It works especially well with click . $( 'html, body' ).animate({ scrollTop: $( "#elementID" ).offset().top }, 2000 ); Although LocalScroll is good for more advanced applications, this snippet is useful for one-time use applications. Simply adjust #elementID and 2000 to set the element and duration, respectively.
