Run ScrollTop with offset of element by ID

Question

Trying to make the browser scroll to a specific ID with an added offset -

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

What I need to do is to set the offset by -100px. How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

No magic involved, just subtract from the offset top of the element

$('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $('#contact').offset().top -100 }, 'slow'); 

Answer 2

jQuery(function($) {   $('a[href*="#"]:not([href="#"])').click(function() {       var target = $(this.hash);         $('html,body').stop().animate({           scrollTop: target.offset().top - 120         }, 'linear');      });         if (location.hash){     var id = $(location.hash);     }     $(window).on('load', function() {     if (location.hash){         $('html,body').animate({scrollTop: id.offset().top -120}, 'linear')     };     }); }); 

this worked for me.
