Anchor tag to some element in same page id doesn't work

Question

Haai. I have a trouble in my little project. I've create <a href="slogannya">some icon</a> and <blockquote id="slogannya">but when I click the <a> tag it doesn't work. Here is my code :

Html

<section class="to-content">
        <a class="scrollTo" href="#slogannya">
          <button type="button">
            <i class="material-icons">keyboard_arrow_down</i>
          </button>
        </a>
      </section>
      <section class="slogan">
        <blockquote id="slogannya">
          <p>Wanna create an event? <br> or you want to give some advice to us? Use the form below </p>
        </blockquote>
      </section>

Jquery

$(document).ready(function () {
  $(".scrollTo").on('click', function (e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      var target = $(this).attr('href');
      $('html, body').animate({
          scrollTop: ($(target).offset().top)
      }, 2000);
  });

});

How can I made this work? Please help me :)

EDIT

I know what my problems is. In my project, I have a css called 'general.css' (this css content css reset and other styling for any page). In this css, it makes any element to be box-sizing: border-box; and others style. I don't know specifically what the problems. But when I remove my 'general.css', the smooth scroll is work. Thank you for all your answers friends :) , I'm appreciate it!!

Answer 1

All you need is HTML some <a>nchors and any element you want (even more <a>nchors go crazy). BTW the reason targeting id wasn't working for you is because the href requires a prefix of # to the url. ex. <a href="#ID"... Another reason that it may not work is that the <a>nchor and the destination element are too close to each other, so ideally a destination should be at least far enough that scrolling is needed to get there.

• For a destination element, ensure that it has an #id. ex <div id='ID'...

• Next, for each destination, create one or more <a>nchors and set their href values as #+ID. ex. <a href='#ID...

• If the destination element happens to be an <a>nchor, we can use the name attribute as well. ex. <a name='NAME'...

main {
  margin: 50px auto;
