How can I use JavaScript for targeting anchors together with a svg graphic

Question

I am trying to create a clickable donut chart with raphael.js. By clicking on a shape the window should scroll to an anchor. I worked it out to open a new window but I not able to run it fully as required.

Example

<script type="text/javascript">
var paper = Raphael(document.getElementById("chart"), "525", "306")
var shape_right = paper.path("M265 14l0 79c10 0 20 3 30 8 29 16 38 53 22 81l68 39c13-22 19-44 19-69C403 76 341 14 265 14z");
var shape_bottom = paper.path("M314 186c-16 28-52 38-81 21 -9-5-17-13-22-22l-68 39c13 22 29 38 51 50 66 38 150 16 188-49L314 186 314 186z");
var shape_left = paper.path("M209 123c11-19 31-30 52-30l0-79c-25 0-47 6-69 19C126 71 103 156 141 222l68-40C199 165 198 142 209 123z");
eshape_right.attr("stroke-width", "0");
shape_right.attr("fill", "#ffffff");
shape_right.attr("opacity", 0.0);
shape_bottom.attr("stroke-width", "0");
shape_bottom.attr("fill", "#ffffff");
shape_bottom.attr("opacity", 0.0);
shape_left.attr("stroke-width", "0");
shape_left.attr("fill", "#ffffff");
shape_left.attr("opacity", 0.0);
shape_right.mouseover(function(e){
document.body.style.cursor = "pointer";
    shape_bottom.attr("opacity", 0.5);
    shape_left.attr("opacity", 0.5);
});
shape_right.click(function(e){
    window.open("http://www.example.com#anchor1");
});
shape_right.mouseout(function(e){
    document.body.style.cursor = "auto";
    shape_bottom.attr("opacity", 0.0);
    shape_left.attr("opacity", 0.0);
});
shape_bottom.mouseover(function(e){
    document.body.style.cursor = "pointer";
    shape_right.attr("opacity", 0.5);
    shape_left.attr("opacity", 0.5);
});
shape_bottom.click(function(e){
    window.open("http://www.example.com#anchor2");
});
shape_bottom.mouseout(function(e){
    document.body.style.cursor = "auto";
    shape_right.attr("opacity", 0.0);
    shape_left.attr("opacity", 0.0);
});
shape_left.mouseover(function(e){
    document.body.style.cursor = "pointer";
    shape_right.attr("opacity", 0.5);
    shape_bottom.attr("opacity", 0.5);
});
shape_left.click(function(e){
    window.open("http://www.example.com#anchor3");
});
shape_left.mouseout(function(e){
    document.body.style.cursor = "auto";
    shape_right.attr("opacity", 0.0);
    shape_bottom.attr("opacity", 0.0);
});
</script>

Use location.hash = "some-anchor"; instead of window.open()

shape_right.click(function(e){
    location.hash = "anchor1";
});

Sample:

 var paper = Raphael(document.getElementById("chart"), "525", "306") var shape_right = paper.path("M265 14l0 79c10 0 20 3 30 8 29 16 38 53 22 81l68 39c13-22 19-44 19-69C403 76 341 14 265 14z"); var shape_bottom = paper.path("M314 186c-16 28-52 38-81 21 -9-5-17-13-22-22l-68 39c13 22 29 38 51 50 66 38 150 16 188-49L314 186 314 186z"); var shape_left = paper.path("M209 123c11-19 31-30 52-30l0-79c-25 0-47 6-69 19C126 71 103 156 141 222l68-40C199 165 198 142 209 123z"); shape_right.attr("stroke-width", "0"); shape_right.attr("fill", "#ffffff"); shape_right.attr("opacity", 0.0); shape_bottom.attr("stroke-width", "0"); shape_bottom.attr("fill", "#ffffff"); shape_bottom.attr("opacity", 0.0); shape_left.attr("stroke-width", "0"); shape_left.attr("fill", "#ffffff"); shape_left.attr("opacity", 0.0); shape_right.mouseover(function(e) { document.body.style.cursor = "pointer"; shape_bottom.attr("opacity", 0.5); shape_left.attr("opacity", 0.5); }); shape_right.click(function(e) { location.hash = "anchor1"; }); shape_right.mouseout(function(e) { document.body.style.cursor = "auto"; shape_bottom.attr("opacity", 0.0); shape_left.attr("opacity", 0.0); }); shape_bottom.mouseover(function(e) { document.body.style.cursor = "pointer"; shape_right.attr("opacity", 0.5); shape_left.attr("opacity", 0.5); }); shape_bottom.click(function(e) { location.hash = "anchor2"; }); shape_bottom.mouseout(function(e) { document.body.style.cursor = "auto"; shape_right.attr("opacity", 0.0); shape_left.attr("opacity", 0.0); }); shape_left.mouseover(function(e) { document.body.style.cursor = "pointer"; shape_right.attr("opacity", 0.5); shape_bottom.attr("opacity", 0.5); }); shape_left.click(function(e) { location.hash = "anchor3"; }); shape_left.mouseout(function(e) { document.body.style.cursor = "auto"; shape_right.attr("opacity", 0.0); shape_bottom.attr("opacity", 0.0); });

Answer 2

I was dealing with this exact situation yesterday. I ended up using the code below so i didn't have to wrap my elements in anchor tags.

$('#idOfButton').click(function() {
     location.hash = 'idOfAnchorPoint';
});

jQuery solution but location.hash is just regular JS.

Hope this helps !
