# jQuery Scrollbar Slider

HTML anchor links can be a useful tool to link to a location in a very long page. However, the default implementation
of HTML anchor links are not intuitive. When a user clicks on a link, they expect to go to another page. Instead, an
clicking on an HTML anchor link makes a jarring jump down the page.

This jQuery plugin eases the pain of that interaction by smoothly scrolling down the page to reach the anchor
destination.

## Installation via Bower

```
bower install --save jquery-scrollbar-slider
```

## Options

Name | Type | Default | Description
------------- | ---- | ------- | -----------
speed | int | 1100 | How fast in milliseconds to scroll down to the anchor
offset | int | 0 | Setting this to a non-zero value will adjust where the scrolling will stop relative to the actual anchor position. It has the side effect of not placing the `#id` into the URL due to standard browser behavior forcing the page to always be at the anchor location defined by the hash in the URL.

## Sample Use

You can see full HTML examples in action in the `examples` folder of this project. The basic approach is to

### Basic

```







Click Me!
Much content might be between me and the anchor...


$(document).ready(function() {
$("a.anchorLink").anchorAnimate();
});

```

### Overriding the Defaults

```







Click Me!
Much content might be between me and the anchor...


/** Do not have to wrap these in document.ready() */
$.fn.anchorAnimate.defaults.speed = 50;
$.fn.anchorAnimate.defaults.offset = 50;

$(document).ready(function() {
$("a.anchorLink").anchorAnimate();
});

```
