How to scroll to an element in jQuery?

Question

I have done the following code in JavaScript to put focus on the particular element (branch1 is a element),

document.location.href=\"#branch1\";
         


        

Answer 1

For my problem this code worked, I had to navigate to an anchor tag on page load :

$(window).scrollTop($('a#captchaAnchor').position().top);

For that matter you can use this on any element, not just an anchor tag.
