jQuery ScrollTo does not work in Chrome
I'm creating a website with horizontal scrolling. I'm using this jQuery plugin for automatic scrolling. Below is the code.
HTML
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheets/styles.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.scrollTo-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/script.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li>
<div class="menubutton" id="homeLink"><a class="menuitem" href="#"></a></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="menubutton" id="aboutLink"><a class="menuitem" href="#"></a></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="menubutton" id="musicLink"><a class="menuitem" href="#"></a></div>
</li>
</ul>
</div><!-- end of navigation -->
<div id="firstMark"></div>
<div id="secondMark"></div>
<div id="thirdMark"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS
@charset "utf-8";
ul li { list-style-type:none; }
/* navigation */
#navigation { position:fixed; z-index:5; bottom:80px; left:-26px; background-color:#FFF; width:70px; height:190px; border-top-right-radius:10px; border-bottom-right-radius:10px; }
.menubutton { float:left; width:20px; height:20px; border-radius: 50%; background-color:#F00; margin-bottom:15px; }
.menubutton:hover { cursor:pointer; }
#homeLink { background-color:#007FD2; }
#aboutLink { background-color:#C7007A; }
#musicLink { background-color:#FFDB1A; }
#brandsLink { background-color:#000; }
#contactLink { background-color:#F90; }
#homeLink:hover { background-color:#006DB4; }
#aboutLink:hover { background-color:#99005E; }
#musicLink:hover { background-color:#FFC61A; }
#brandsLink:hover { background-color:#333; }
#contactLink:hover { background-color:#F60; }
#container {
position:absolute;
width:10000px;
height:100%;
background-color:#FFC;
top:0;
left:0;
}
#firstMark {
position:absolute;
width:1px;
height:1px;
left:3000px;
}
#secondMark {
position:absolute;
width:1px;
height:1px;
left:6000px;
}
#thirdMark {
position:absolute;
width:1px;
height:1px;
left:9000px;
}
JavaScript
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$('#homeLink').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.scrollTo(0,0, {duration: 2000});
});
$('#aboutLink').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.scrollTo('#firstMark', {duration: 2000});
});
$('#musicLink').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.scrollTo('#secondMark', {duration: 2000});
});
});
Here's the link to a demo page. This works in Firefox(v18), Opera(v12), Safari(v5.1.2) and even Internet Explorer 9 but it doesn't work in Chrome(v24).
Can anybody tell me what's missing here? It it something wrong with my code or a bug in the plugin?
Failing that, please tell me if there are any other alternatives to automatic scrolling which also supports horizontal scrolling.
Thank you.
Answer
Old question but I'll write down my experience. I had the same issue with that plugin downloaded from http://flesler.blogspot.com/2007/10/jqueryscrollto.html
That plugin in the article is outdated, you can download the latest version here: https://github.com/flesler
Also you will also have to change
$.scrollTo(0,0, {duration: 2000});
to
$.scrollTo("0px","0px", {duration: 2000});
