Need smooth scrolling to a div when anchor tag with id is clicked instead of jumping to that div [duplicate]

Question

<div id="slider">
    <div id="pro1"></div>
    <div id="pro2"></div>
    <div id="pro3"></div>
</div>

<div id="thumb">
    <a href="#pro1"> <img id="tpro1" src="projects/tpro5.jpg" style="height: 100%;"></a>
    <a href="#pro2"> <img id="tpro2" src="projects/tpro5.jpg" style="height: 100%;"></a>
    <a href="#pro3"> <img id="tpro3" src="projects/tpro5.jpg" style="height: 100%;"></a>
</div>

This is the code i worked with, when i click on the link it is just jumping to that div so i want some animated horizontal scroll to show that div

thanks
