Demo can be seen at http://plugins.compzets.com/animatescroll
What is it exactly?
AnimateScroll is a jQuery plugin which enables you to scroll to any part of the page in style by just calling the animatescroll() function with the id or classname of the element where you want to scroll to.
It gives power to the user with its various options to customize the style of scrolling, scroll speed and many more. Supports more than 30 unique Scrolling Styles.
Usage
You need two things for this plugin to work, one is "jQuery library" and the other animatescroll.js file.
Just include the animatescroll.js file after the "jQuery library" as shown in the code snippet below and you're done.
NOTE: The only dependency for this plugin to work is jQuery library.
<html> <head> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="animatescroll.js"> </head> <body> <div id="section-1">This is the element where you want to scroll to<div> /* * You may call the function like this * (but better attach an event listener) */ <a onclick="$('[jquery selector]').animatescroll([options]);">Go to Element</a> </body> </html>You can either download the files or install from Bower (package manager):
bower install animatescrollNOTE: There are two js files, if you do not want the various easing effects, you can use the animatescroll.noeasing.js
