if (window.location.hash) {
    var hash = window.location.hash;

    if ($(hash).length) {
        $('html, body').animate({
            scrollTop: $(hash).offset().top

}

Great thanks, Franco, for your work!

Thank you Franco !

to prevent some console error when the div does exists: if ($(hash).length)

if (window.location.hash) {
    var hash = window.location.hash;

    if ($(hash).length) {
        $('html, body').animate({
            scrollTop: $(hash).offset().top
        }, 900, 'swing');
    }
}

Thank you Franco !

Thanks, I didn't know this 2015 gist could still be useful, I updated the code with your suggestion!

Hi Franco - could you help me with this piece of your code: {scrollTop: $(hash).offset().top} - I understand this is an element of "styles" (per documentation) and it takes the hash element to the very top of the page, correct? I've been wondering what to do if I want it to position the hash a bit lower, not at the very top of the page... any suggestions?...

Hey @mp111x000! offset.top obtains the coordinates of the element tagged by the hash.
You can use math operators to add or subtract pixels at your convenience.

scrollTop: $(hash).offset().top - 80

In this case 80 would be the difference in pixels you want to include.
You can also use another variable to calculate the size of an element, and use it instead of a fixed number.

Wow - this is exactly what I meant, sorry for the confused question. Works like a breeze, many thanks Franco! And all the best in the New Year.
