Scrolling to a specific section of a webpage dynamically can greatly enhance
the user experience. This can be particularly useful when working with Ajax
calls to load content dynamically without requiring a page refresh. In this
blog post, we'll explore how to smoothly scroll to a targeted
<div>
element after an Ajax call using jQuery.
Introduction
When working on web applications, you may encounter situations where you need to load new content into a specific section of a page via an Ajax call. After the content is loaded, you might want to scroll the user's view to that newly loaded section to provide a seamless transition. This can be achieved using jQuery's animation capabilities.
Scrolling to a Specific
<div>
After Ajax Call
Assuming you have a scenario where you're using an Ajax call to load content
into a
<div>
element with the ID "wps-comment-list," here's how you can smoothly scroll to
that specific
<div>
after the Ajax call using jQuery:
Explanation
-
The
$.ajax()function is used to perform an Ajax call to retrieve the content you want to load into the target<div>. -
Inside the
successcallback function, after the Ajax call is successful and the content is loaded, theanimate()function is used to smoothly scroll to the target<div>. -
$("html, body")selects both the<html>and<body>elements, allowing for cross-browser compatibility. -
.animate()is used to animate the scrolling effect. ThescrollTopproperty is adjusted to scroll to the top position of the target<div>. The- 50value is subtracted to provide some additional offset for the scroll position. -
The second argument of
.animate()specifies the duration of the animation in milliseconds (2000 milliseconds in this case).
Conclusion
Smoothly scrolling to a specific
<div>
after an Ajax call can greatly improve the overall user experience of your web
application. By implementing the provided jQuery code snippet, you can ensure
that users are seamlessly taken to the newly loaded content without any
jarring transitions. This technique is particularly valuable for applications
that require dynamic content loading and a polished user interface.
