angularjs $anchorScroll sometimes refresh all page

Question

I have an app with angularjs routing, but on some view i want to scroll to some specific div and i use anchorScroll but sometimes (not all times) it refresh all page even i stop

Answer 1

I've two use cases on the same page :

• When clicking save, if the response is an error, scroll to the errorDiv that displays the error to the user. David Kabii's answer did work for me.
• However, on the load of the page, in the controller, I want to scroll to a specific area of the page where the user's input is expected. This wouldn't work. I had to use window.setTimeout to workaround this. (there's probably a better way)

      window.setTimeout(function(){
        $location.hash("anchorForm");
        $anchorScroll();
      }, 300);
