jQuery scroll to ID from different page

Question

I was trying to use jQuery's page scroll inside some pages and could successfully make a smooth page scroll. The only problem I have now is when attempting to do that from different page. What I mean by that is if I click on a link in a page, it should load the new page and then scroll to the specific div element.

Here is the code I used to scrolling inside the page:

var jump=function(e)
{
       //prevent the "normal" behaviour which would be a "hard" jump
       e.preventDefault();
   //Get the target
   var target = $(this).attr("href");
   //perform animated scrolling
   $('html,body').animate(
   {
           //get top-position of target-element and set it as scroll target
           scrollTop: $(target).offset().top
   //scrolldelay: 2 seconds
   },2000,function()
   {
           //attach the hash (#jumptarget) to the pageurl
           location.hash = target;
   });

}

$(document).ready(function()
{
       $('a[href*=#]').bind("click", jump);
       return false;
});

I hope the idea is clear.

Thanks

Very important Note: This code I posted above works great inside the same page, but what I'm after is to click a link from one page and go to another one and then scroll to the target. I hope it is clear now. Thanks

I've written something that detects if the page contains the anchor that was clicked on, and if not, goes to the normal page, otherwise it scrolls to the specific section:

$('a[href*=\\#]').on('click',function(e) {

    var target = this.hash;
    var $target = $(target);
    console.log(targetname);
    var targetname = target.slice(1, target.length);

    if(document.getElementById(targetname) != null) {
         e.preventDefault();
    }
    $('html, body').stop().animate({
        'scrollTop': $target.offset().top-120 //or the height of your fixed navigation 

    }, 900, 'swing', function () {
        window.location.hash = target;
  });
});
