When I click on a link on page 1. I want the following to happen:
Open page 2 at the top
Smoothly scroll to a given location on page 2
How would I go about setting this up?
I have managed to make clicking a link on a single page smoothly scroll to a given location on that page, but do not know how to do this between pages.
you can use hashtag link to move focus any specific link on page. It works fine for other pages.
You can provide the page2.html#linkname in page1 link that will open page2 and move focus to mentioned link.
This is exactly the behaviour of scroll-behaviour: smooth; in compatible browsers (currently Firefox and Chrome).
All other browser will not animate but the links still work. That is a perfect example of progressive enhancement.

I am trying to create an effect in an HTML page whereby a link with href='#section1' when clicked, changes the URL in the address bar of the browser AND scrolls to the element #section1 smoothly.
The problem is that, as far as I have been able to test, I could accomplish only one thing. Either I could scroll to #section1 smoothly using the scrollIntoView() method or I could change the address bar of the browser (which happens automatically when a link with href='#section1' is clicked.
Is there any way to accomplish both of these things?
Another thing I have tested is explained as follows:
I prevented the default action of clicking the anchor having href='#section1' using e.preventDefault() method of the click event and then called scrollIntoView() on the element. Then I manually changed the URL on the address bar using location.hash, but doing this last thing nonetheless caused the snappy scroll jump (before the browser could smoothly scroll the element into view) which I don't want.
Is there any solution to this? Or that I have to go with only one thing out of the two?
I have a parallax website, in which all different sections are accessible via anchor tags in navigation. It works fine when I am on the home page, but when I am trying to access these sections from an external page navigation(thankyou page down below), I land on the appropriate section momentarily but then the page scrolls to the bottom. I have tried a few things, but I cannot exactly pinpoint what's causing it, or how to prevent it from happening.
Home page with sections- http://www.gwcconferences.com/
Navigation via hamburger menu on top-right of header here-
http://www.gwcconferences.com/thankyou.html
Also, it works fine for the first item in navigation- "Meetings"
I'm afraid I don't think there's a way around this - the page renders as it is is loaded, so until the anchor you want has been rendered, the browser will show the top of the page, then it will zoom down.
I saw a good website template and started making a website. The link is: https://html5up.net/lens. In the process, I observed a typical UI bug, where in if a user scrolls down the page and clicks on "X" of the image (to see fullscreen image),toggles back, scrolls to the top of the page, the content which was visible before disappears though it still appears in the DOM.
I saw the js function written for the toggle, it's straightforward and works fine until we don't scroll on the web page. Please see bug screenshot.Screenshot of the bug
This is a known, ongoing issue with Chrome and CSS visibility. You can 'fix' this by updating the CSS of the affected children, ie. changing classes or simply setting the visibility of the child element manually. I believe this to be because Chrome automatically prevents the rendering of the divs because at the time they are called to be shown, they are off screen and not viewable.
A question about the Fullpage plugin: http://alvarotrigo.com/fullPage/
You can open the site in any section. For example this link opens the site in the fourth section:
http://alvarotrigo.com/fullPage/#4thpage
This means the site immediately starts to scroll once you opened the site (it scrolls down to the fourth section).
However, I have a script (it loads a chat box) that slows down this process. Although I added my chat script AFTER the Fullpage.js initialization script, my site first loads the chat box and after that Fullpage scrolls to the right section.
I want the page first to scroll down to the right section on site open, and once the site has opened and has scrolled to the right section, then the chat box script needs to start to run (for as long as the site is open).
How to accomplish that? I tried to place my chat script in the afterLoad and afterRender, but for some reason that makes my chat box not showing up at all. Is there a way to perform some actions after Fullpage has loaded and after the first scroll (on site open) to the right section?
As I said in a previous comment:
Probably what's taking time is the loading of the JS, CSS or SWF files required for that script to run. Fullpage.js waits until all elements from the site have loaded to scroll to the section. The reason to do this is due to the use of images in section when using scrollOverflow:true, as fullpage.js needs to determine if the section needs scroll bar or not depending on the size of the loaded image.
To solve it you can load the element dynamically by using jQuery or ajax.
Otherwise, you can edit fullPage.js and change line 536 this:
$window.on('load', function() {
scrollToAnchor();
});
To this:
scrollToAnchor();
The only problem with that is that you'll have to remember to change that line every time you update fullpage.js.
Feel free to open an issue in fullPage.js github forum and a solution might be implement in future versions.

Is there a solution to show an html horizontal menu on the top of each page ?
The menu will embed a JS script which uses some external libraries.
Indeed, I can prepend my html content to the "body" tag but each time the user clicks on a link on the webpage, the whole page is reloaded which makes the horizontal bar disapear and then reappear on the next page when the loading is completed.
I thought of putting the website content into an iframe but some websites (ex: amazon) send a header with the "X-Frame-Options" set to "DENY" or "SAMEORIGIN". This is something which Crossrider cannot modify (at least I didn't find how to do that).
Is there an other way to show a PERMANENT menu on top of each page ?
EDIT :
My toolbar won't contain any link but it will record the mouse position. My problem is that each time the user will click on a website link (ex : to see a product on the amazon website), the toolbar will be reloaded and so the mouse position won't be recorded until the next page has finished its loading.
Page reload is normal behavior when clicking on a link on Amazon sites and hence the toolbar redrawing when the page loads is normal and correct.
Based on the information provided and assuming I have understood what you are trying to acheive, it appears that you are going about this the wrong way. I would first think about why do you need a toolbar at all? For example, if you are only recording the mouse position when a link in the page is clicked, I think it makes more sense to register to mouse click events of the links you are interested in.
I suggest you rethink your approach and take in to consideration the issues you have to handle, such as the page reload and handling the click event before the page reloads.
