Last active December 24, 2015 16:29

Judo.js is tiny front-end javascript library of utilitarian mini-functions for custom development. Like physical judo leveraging the opponent against him/herself, this library leverages the browser into manipulating itself.

	window.judo = {
	scrollTo: function(element, to, duration) {
	var start = element.scrollTop,
	change = to - start,
	currentTime = 0,
	increment = 20,
	easeInOutQuad = function (t, b, c, d) {
	t /= d/2;
	if (t < 1) return c/2tt + b;
	t--;
