So I am trying to use the smooth scrolling animation used in this template:
https://blackrockdigital.github.io/startbootstrap-scrolling-nav/
After adding the js files to my directory, including the basic JQuery files, I've seen the custom .js file that adds the scrolling uses the .class parameter in an anchor tag to detect if clicking it should trigger the smoothscrolling. So I added those to my anchor tags.
Below is the relevant code.
I will include a live preview too.
index.html file
<!-- Navigation section -->
<section class="nav" id="nav">
<div class="container">
<div class="row" style="width: 100%; text-align: center;">
<div class="col-xs-4 col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-lg-4">
<a class="js-scroll-trigger btn btn-lg btn-nav" href="#about">About me</a>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-lg-4">
<a class="js-scroll-trigger btn btn-lg btn-nav" href="#work">My work</a>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-lg-4">
<a class="js-scroll-trigger btn btn-lg btn-nav" href="#contact">Contact</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
Script imports in index.html
<!-- Import js -->
<script src="vendor/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
<script src="vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="vendor/jquery-easing/jquery.easing.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/scrolling-nav.js"></script>
Scrolling-nav.js
(function($) {
"use strict"; // Start of use strict
// Smooth scrolling using jQuery easing
$('a.js-scroll-trigger[href*="#"]:not([href="#"])').click(function() {
if (location.pathname.replace(/^\//, '') == this.pathname.replace(/^\//, '') && location.hostname == this.hostname) {
var target = $(this.hash);
target = target.length ? target : $('[name=' + this.hash.slice(1) + ']');
if (target.length) {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: target.offset().top
}, 1000, "easeInOutExpo");
return false;
}
}
});
})(jQuery); // End of use strict
I have nearly no experience with JQuery / JS, so it's hard for me to understand where it might be going wrong.
Here is a live preview of the website with above code in it:
