Moving to named anchor after jquery/javascript processing

Question

How do move focus to a different section (named anchor) on the same page after doing some jquery processing.

Function ABC() does some processing and afterwards, I need to move the user to a section on the same page (further down the page).

Answer 1

You can use the code below to scroll the screen to a <div id="navigation">. Just change the selector to match the element you want to scroll to.

$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $('#navigation').offset().top }, 'slow');

Answer 2

location.href=location.href.replace(/#.+/,'')++'#namedanchor' or

document.getElementById('#namedanchor').scrollIntoView(true)

The first appends the hash to the address URL
