Smooth scroll for anchors – jQuery

Just place this code anywhere after including jQuery library. This helps the user scroll to the ‘element’ id in href=”#element”.

$(function () {
  /* Slide to # location with animation */
  $(document).on('click', 'a[href^="#"]', function (event) {
    event.preventDefault();

    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: $($.attr(this, 'href')).offset().top
    }, 500);
  });
  /* Slide to # location with animation */
});
