How to scroll to specific item using jQuery?
Dead simple. No plugins needed.
var $container = $('div'), $scrollTo = $('#row_8');$container.scrollTop( $scrollTo.offset().top - $container.offset().top + $container.scrollTop());// Or you can animate the scrolling:$container.animate({ scrollTop: $scrollTo.offset().top - $container.offset().top + $container.scrollTop()});Here is a working example.
I realise this doesn't answer scrolling in a container but people are finding it useful so:
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: some_element.offset().top});We select both html and body because the document scroller could be on either and it is hard to determine which. For modern browsers you can get away with $(document.body).
Or, to go to the top of the page:
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: 0});Or without animation:
$(window).scrollTop(some_element.offset().top);OR...
window.scrollTo(0, some_element.offset().top); // native equivalent (x, y)
I agree with Kevin and others, using a plugin for this is pointless.
window.scrollTo(0, $("#element").offset().top);
