Jquery smooth scrolling (not anchor)

Question

I've seen a couple of articles here but I just can't find the right answer. I'm not looking for a smooth scrolling to an anchor point, I already got that, I'm looking for a smooth scrolling like this or this . somehow they both uses this jquery which I don't know how to implement.

I've tried this one: simplr-smoothscroll . But this one is not really that 'smooth', when you scroll fast it slows you down.

I've also tried: simple smooth-wheel . But I couldn't implement that properly, since my body height is set to 100%, someone else complained about that as well on github. Above that, the demo provided in the Download (not on github) didn't work for me aswell, tried to fix that demo but still no luck.

I've also try to use the source of that one: smoothwheel . However I'm not a javascript magician with javascript so, no couldn't get that done.

Here is the simple jsfiddle page I have, where it should work: jsfiddle

 <div id="menubar">
        <a href="#welcome">Welcome</a><a href="#welcome">Welcome</a><a href="#welcome">Welcome</a><a href="#welcome">Welcome</a>

In the example you gave, they are using jquery.smoothwheel by IntelliJ IDEA.

Check this link . Maybe it's the effect you are searching for.

Hope it's useful!

Edit by OP:

After @Academia gave me this fiddle I manged to get it to work for my needs.

This is what I ended up with:

css:

body {
    background: url(someImage.png); 
    background-size: 100% auto;
    background-attachment:fixed;
    margin: 0 auto;
    width:100%;
    height:1000px; /*key value to make this script work, else it only scrolls smoothly when your mouse is hovering over the #container*/
    overflow:auto;
    -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
    position:relative;

}

#container{
     width:100%;
    background-color:white;
    position:absolute;
    top:700px; /*I intent to scroll the content over the bg image, that was my struggle, I had it in procentage first*/
}

#content{
    width:100%;
    background-color:white;
    margin:0;
}

html:

<body>   

    <div id="container">
        <div id="content">
<p>some content</p>
  </div>
 </div>
</body>

Now for the javascript, I had to add an function that would keep the top value of the container correct to the width of the screen

script for smoothscroll:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.smoothwheel.js"></script>

<script>

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("body").smoothWheel()
    });

</script>

script for the top value of the container , 0.36 because 1920/700 = 0.36, this depends on the top value you want to have:

<script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function () {
   var jqeuryElem = jQuery("#container");
   var w = $(window).width();
   var top = w *0.36;

   jqeuryElem.css("top", top+"px");


   });
   $(window).resize(function () {
       var jqeuryElem = jQuery("#container");
       var w = $(window).width();
       var top = w * 0.36;

       jqeuryElem.css("top", top + "px");
   });
    </script>

I'll post the result when the website is done.
