I have a question, I would like to trigger a specific event in javascript or jquery on a webpage. The page has an animation effect during page loads (the screen and content splits in two and slides open revealing the next content). This works fine when the content on the page fits and doesn't need to be scrolled. However when content needs to be scrolled, the effect doesn't look as good. Is there anyway to trigger an href to scroll back to the top of the page and THEN load the href link/target? In basic terms something like "on click scroll to top and then load link" Any help would be great! Thanks
One could use jquerys animate to scroll to the top, then if that finished redirect:
$("a").click(function() {
$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, "slow", ()=> location.href = this.href );
return false;
});
try it

I replaced the scrolling animation of my one page website with another scrolling animation which changes the URLs when you use the topbar (it was build in foundation)
While the URLs now change when I click an item in the topbar all the other links or clickable elements on my page make it scroll back to the top of the page.
For example when I try to click the next/prev buttons of my slider it scrolls back to the top of the page as if I clicked on Home.
Can someone see whats wrong with the code for the animation?
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a[href^="#"]').click(function () {
var target = $(this.hash),
hash = this.hash;
if (target.length == 0) {
target = $('a[name="' + this.hash.substr(1) + '"]');
}
if (target.length == 0) {
target = $('html');
}
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: target.offset().top
}, 500, function () {
location.hash = hash;
});
return false;
});
});
PS: When I scroll manually the URLs don't change when I go down to the next page. If anyone has a fix for this I'll be happy to here from you! (I tried using history.js but that only seems to work if you have a server, which I don't)
//* EDIT *//
I just found out it's not all links that make it scroll to the top of the page, just the buttons of my orbit slider and the menu button when the topbar is collapsed
//EDIT 2//
The URL now changes when I scroll to the next page!
The only problem I am seeing right now is that the buttons of my orbit slider and the menu button of the collapsed topbar act the same as my home button (makes the page scroll all the way back to the top) for some reason.
So the last thing I need to do is get the buttons working again. Making the menu button expand the topbar and making the next and prev buttons of my slider work as normal
If you only want to change the hash depending on the scrollPosition you are half way there.
You'll need to bind some logic to the scroll event. Here is a fork of your Fiddle where the hash is changed on scroll.
When the user scrolls the page we iterate through all .page elements and compare their offset().top against $( document ).scrollTop().
We set the new hash to be the id of the last .page element that has a lower offset().top than $( document ).scrollTop() is.
(I also debounced the function so it doesn't fire constantly when scrolling - you could of course remove that part)
You should however consider that by changing the hash you will jump to the equivalent element. Here is a guide on how to suppress that behaviour.
EDIT:
Here is an updated Fiddle where I implemented the solution from above for suppressing forced scroll on hash change.
In my site, http://lol.bu.edu/ctl/home-2/, when I click on the Questrom Team Learning button, it goes to the link correctly, which is http://lol.bu.edu/ctl/home-2/#after_layer_slider_1.
However, if I manually type in the link or refresh the page in mobile (screen width less than 750px), it goes to the same height location for the link as it would normally go to for a full width (which is further down on the page for mobile).
Sometimes when I refresh the page it briefly goes to the right location before scrolling down again.
Is this a javascript problem and how would I solve it?
Your page http://lol.bu.edu/ctl/home-2/#after_layer_slider_1
remove the #after_layer_slider_1 at the end of the url. The #after_layer_slider_1 is targeting a location on your page and is why it is moving down. Jus t simply remove that part of the url and it will load at the top of the page.
and if you do not want to have it do that at all ctr+f and look for "after_layer_slider_1" in your javasrcipt, delete that part and it will stop doing the page scroll alltogether.
Just feast your eyes, on below, bro
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a[rel="relativeanchor"]').click(function(){
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $( $.attr(this, 'href') ).offset().top
}, 500);
return false;
});
});
Live Demo (smooth scroll to top)
The context: I have a one page web app. So there's lots of div's being hidden at any one time (I'm not sure if this matters). What I am finding is that when a user is finished with one page (Page X), then they click back (to Page Y) - if they return back to Page X then the position is the same as when they left the page. The back button is at the bottom, so that's where the user ends up again.
What I want, is when they return to Page X for them to be at the top of the page so they can start again. Whether it scrolls back or just jumps back - either way is fine.
I've tried all of the following with no success:
// Scroll to top
setTimeout(function(){
alert('scroll');
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop : 0}, 2000);
}, 2000);
Adding a div with the id top-anchor at the top and using:
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#top-anchor").offset().top
}, 2000);
Having a and using an anchor, with the code below (it only works once though, after that as the hash is already in the URL it no longer works I suppose):
document.hash = '#top-anchor';
Also tried:
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
No luck.
Any alternative ideas are much appreciated.
You can achieve something like that: DEMO : https://jsfiddle.net/yeyene/bpwtLg1w/1/
Not sure how your content divs are shown and hidden, but just get the idea of adding scroll to top of page div part.
Add scroll event on Back button click event, since you already known which page to go, you can scroll to this page's top, by using...
$(element).position().top
JQUERY
$(document).ready(function () {
$('input[type=button]').on('click', function(){
getPageID = $(this).attr('id');
$('.page').hide(0);
$('div#'+getPageID).show(0);
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $('div#'+getPageID).position().top - 10
}, 500);
});
});
i have a long scrolling page with lots of divs, one below the other. i would like to scroll automatically when you visit (or reload) the site to scroll from top to a specific div near of the bottom. to jump there isnt a problem, but i want the "scroll" effect. ive checked out scrollTo() but i dont get it to work.
my first attempt was something like
$(document).ready(function () {
$.scrollTo('#div5'); });
but it doesnt fire anything. a little bit help needed :)
thanks
Try this:
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $('#div5').offset().top
}, 500);
http://jsfiddle.net/nTwLm/2/
I have an HTML file with an element inside it with id="start_section".
I want that when the page loads it will scroll down to this element so i added the following scrip:
jQuery(document).ready(function()
{
// scroll 20px above this div
jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: (jQuery('#start_section').offset().top)-20 }, 800);
});
Now, it's working just perfect on the first time the page is loaded.
But, As soon as the Activity is recreated for some reason, like orientation change, something weird happens: The page is reloaded, and then instead of scrolling down to the specific element, it is scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page.
I tried to disable the cache but it didn't help.
Any Ideas?
Try to just use "jQuery('body')" instead of "jQuery('html, body')"
