2.0

Version 2.0 has been recently released. It is mostly backwards compatible, if you have any issue first check this link. If your problem is not solved then go ahead and report the issue.

Usage

jQuery.scrollTo's signature is designed to resemble $().animate().

$(element).scrollTo(target[,duration][,settings]);

element

This must be a scrollable element, to scroll the whole window use $(window).

target

This defines the position to where element must be scrolled. The plugin supports all these formats:

A number with a fixed position: 250
A string with a fixed position with px: "250px"
A string with a percentage (of container's size): "50%"
A string with a relative step: "+=50px"
An object with left and top containining any of the aforementioned: {left:250, top:"50px"}
The string "max" to scroll to the end.
A string selector that will be relative to the element to scroll: ".section:eq(2)"
A DOM element, probably a child of the element to scroll: document.getElementById("top")
A jQuery object with a DOM element: $("#top")

settings

The duration parameter is a shortcut to the setting with the same name. These are the supported settings:

axis: The axes to animate: xy (default), x, y, yx
interrupt: If true will cancel the animation if the user scrolls. Default is false
limit: If true the plugin will not scroll beyond the container's size. Default is true
margin: If true, subtracts the margin and border of the target element. Default is false
offset: Added to the final position, can be a number or an object with left and top
over: Adds a % of the target dimensions: {left:0.5, top:0.5}
queue: If true will scroll one axis and then the other. Default is false
onAfter(target, settings): A callback triggered when the animation ends (jQuery's complete())
onAfterFirst(target, settings): A callback triggered after the first axis scrolls when queueing

You can add any setting supported by $().animate() as well:

duration: Duration of the animation, default is 0 which makes it instantaneous
easing: Name of an easing equation, you must register the easing function: swing
fail(): A callback triggered when the animation is stopped (f.e via interrupt)
step(): A callback triggered for every animated property on every frame
progress(): A callback triggered on every frame
And more, check jQuery's documentation

window shorthand

You can use $.scrollTo(...) as a shorthand for $(window).scrollTo(...).

Changing the default settings

As with most plugins, the default settings are exposed so they can be changed.

$.extend($.scrollTo.defaults, {
  axis: 'y',
  duration: 800
});

Stopping the animation

jQuery.scrollTo ends up creating ordinary animations which can be stopped by calling $().stop() or $().finish() on the same element you called $().scrollTo(), including the window. Remember you can pass a fail() callback to be called when the animation is stopped.

onAfter and requestAnimationFrame

jQuery.scrollTo has a onAfter callback for work that runs after the animation finishes. It will be called before the scroll event fires. To combat this you can use requestAnimationFrame to do work on the next tick. It is available in many browsers, but you may want to polyfill for the few it does not support.

$.scrollTo(100, {
  onAfter: function() {
    requestAnimationFrame(function() {
        $(".result").addClass("selected");
    });
  }
});

Demo

Check the demo to see every option in action.

Complementary plugins

There are two plugins, also created by me that depend on jQuery.scrollTo and aim to simplify certain use cases.

jQuery.localScroll

This plugin makes it very easy to implement anchor navigation. If you don't want to include another plugin, you can try using something like this minimalistic gist.

jQuery.serialScroll

This plugin simplifies the creation of scrolling slideshows.
