How to window.scrollTo() with a smooth effect
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop:1200},'50');
You can do this!
2018 Update
Now you can use just window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: 'smooth' }) to get the page scrolled with a smooth effect.
const btn = document.getElementById('elem');
btn.addEventListener('click', () => window.scrollTo({
top: 400,
behavior: 'smooth',
}));#x {
height: 1000px;
background: lightblue;
}<div id='x'>
<button id='elem'>Click to scroll</button>
</div>Older solutions
You can do something like this:
var btn = document.getElementById('x');
btn.addEventListener("click", function() {
var i = 10;
var int = setInterval(function() {
window.scrollTo(0, i);
i += 10;
if (i >= 200) clearInterval(int);
}, 20);
})body {
background: #3a2613;
height: 600px;
}<button id='x'>click</button>ES6 recursive approach:
const btn = document.getElementById('elem');
const smoothScroll = (h) => {
let i = h || 0;
if (i < 200) {
setTimeout(() => {
window.scrollTo(0, i);
smoothScroll(i + 10);
}, 10);
}
}
btn.addEventListener('click', () => smoothScroll());body {

height: 600px;
}<button id='elem'>click</button>
