  2. Make a CSS file and define styling

Step 1. Make a HTML file and define markup and scripting

We make a HTML file and save it with a name scroll.html 

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="scroll.css">
<script type="text/javascript">
function scroll_to_div(div_id)
{
 $('html,body').animate(
 {
  scrollTop: $("#"+div_id).offset().top
 },
 'slow');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">

<input type="button" class="scroll_button" value="Scroll To Div1" onclick="scroll_to_div('div1')">
<input type="button" class="scroll_button" value="Scroll To Div2" onclick="scroll_to_div('div2')">
<input type="button" class="scroll_button" value="Scroll To Div3" onclick="scroll_to_div('div3')">

<div id="div1" class="scroll_div">

</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

In this step we create three div for scrolling and create three buttons to scroll to particular div.

We also create scroll_to_div() function which uses jQuery animate() function and under this we do smooth scrolling using jQuery scrollTop by getting difference between page top and particular div using offset().top function and then we add slow to scrolling slowly to div.

You can use your own value like fast,normal and you can also give any integer value. You may also like page scroll to top using jQuery.

Step 2. Make a CSS file and define styling

We make a CSS file and save it with a name scroll.css 

body
{
 text-align:center;
 width:100%;
 margin:0 auto;
 padding:0px;
 font-family:helvetica;
 background-color:#E6E6E6;
}
#wrapper
{
 text-align:center;
 margin:0 auto;
 padding:0px;
 width:995px;
 height:2000px;
}
.scroll_button
{
 background:none;
 border:1px solid #585858;
 color:#585858;
 width:150px;
 height:35px;
 font-size:16px;
 cursor:pointer;
}
.scroll_div
{
 width:500px;
 border:1px solid;
 margin-left:245px;
 margin-top:50px;
}
