jquery smooth scroll to an anchor?

Question

Is there a way to scroll down to an anchor link using jQuery?

Like:

$(document).ready(function(){   $("#gotomyanchor").click(function(){       $.scrollSmoothTo($("#myanchor"));   }); }); 

?

Here is how I do it:

    var hashTagActive = "";     $(".scroll").on("click touchstart" , function (event) {         if(hashTagActive != this.hash) { //this will prevent if the user click several times the same link to freeze the scroll.             event.preventDefault();             //calculate destination place             var dest = 0;             if ($(this.hash).offset().top > $(document).height() - $(window).height()) {                 dest = $(document).height() - $(window).height();             } else {                 dest = $(this.hash).offset().top;             }             //go to destination             $('html,body').animate({                 scrollTop: dest             }, 2000, 'swing');             hashTagActive = this.hash;         }     }); 

Then you just need to create your anchor like this:

<a class="scroll" href="#destination1">Destination 1</a> 

You can see it on my website.
