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.

Basic usage: $('body').animatescroll();

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.

Options

AnimateScroll has 3 options:

  • easing
  • scrollSpeed
  • padding

easing : This option defines the scrolling style. The various easing effects supported can be seen at easings.net (Accepts string only)

scrollSpeed : Controls the scrolling speed, higher is the number slower is the scroll speed(Accepts only number)

padding : Adjusts little ups and downs in scrolling. Suppose a small amount of padding is applied to a particular element due to which the scroll didn't end at the right position, so this option helps you to rectify (Accepts numbers only, can be negative)

Easing Effects

This plugin supports more than 30 different styles of scrolling. The easing option lets you choose a particular style of scrolling according to your choice.

Some of them are shown here:

$('#section-2').animatescroll({scrollSpeed:2000,easing:'easeInOutBack'});
$('#section-2').animatescroll({scrollSpeed:2000,easing:'easeOutBounce'});
$('#section-2').animatescroll({scrollSpeed:3000,easing:'easeOutElastic'});
