With jquery.arbitrary-anchor.js , you can easily create useful and neat dynamic anchor scrolling by simply adding a jQuery/CSS selector after the hash (#) in your page’s URL. This plugin extends the normal anchor functionality, that is, an anchor tag with a name value attribute will still get scrolled to as normal. The same goes for an element with an ID which matches the hash. This little plugin will take care of everything else.

jquery.arbitrary-anchor.js

This plugin allows the page to scroll to any arbitrary object on the page based on jQuery/CSS selector.

Visit us on the web or follow me on Twitter for updates: @brianmgonzalez.

Usage

Usage is simple. Just drop it into your page's head after jQuery. Then it just works.

Add to your page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.arbitrary-anchor.js"></script>

Then you can add any valid jQuery/CSS selector after the hash (#) in your page's URL, and it will automatically be scrolled to. If the selector returns more than 1 element, the first element found will be scrolled to. You can also place a pipe (|) with a value in milliseconds after the selector to change the time it takes to scroll to the given element, e.g. #.mydiv|200 would scroll to the first element with a class of mydiv and it would scroll to it in 200ms.

Example URLs

URL Scrolls To
http://example.com#raptor element with ID of or anchor with name of raptor, if none, scroll to first <raptor> element (is that even a thing?)
http://example.com#p element with ID of or anchor with name of p, if none, scroll to first <p> element
http://example.com##yo-man first element with ID of yo-man
http://example.com#.brah first element with class of brah
http://example.com#.sup.brah first element with class of sup and brah
http://example.com#.sup.brah|100 first element with class of sup and brah, scrolled to in 100ms (default is 750ms)
http://example.com#footer element with ID of or anchor with name of footer, or first <footer> element
http://example.com#footer|200 same as above, scrolled to in 200ms

Custom Easing Functions

You can easily change arbitrary anchor's easing function, which defaults to linear. Once you've added the jquery easing plugin to your page, change the easing function by setting the global configuration variable:

AA_CONFIG.easingFunction = 'easeOutBounce';

Other options

Here are the options, with their defaults:

AA_CONFIG = {   animationLength:  750,   easingFunction:   'linear',   scrollOffset:     0 };
