$("#projects").click(function (e) {
  event.preventDefault();
  $(".container-content").animate({ scrollTop: $(".content-projects").offset().top }, 1500);
});

Gives me this error

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined

I have the .content-projects div inside the .container-content.

// Fixed problem

I made a small typo in my HTML doh.
