2nd jQuery “scrollTop” Doesn't Work

Question

Well I can't figure this issue out. Here's the problem.

I have scrollTop Jquery on page load, which after delay scrolls page down for user to take action. But after clicking the button "#b3,#b3b", i can't get another scrollTop to work and after delay scroll to the bottom of page.

It should scroll to .comp element at the bottom, but it doesn't or scrolls just a little bit down.

Can someone tell me how can i get the page to scroll to bottom element 2nd time after clicking the button?

 $(document).ready(function () { $('html, body').delay(1500).animate({ scrollTop: $('.button').offset().top }, 'slow'); $("#b1,#b1b").click(function(){ $("#a1").fadeOut('fast'),$("#a2").fadeIn('slow'); }); $("#b2,#b2b").click(function(){ $("#a2").fadeOut('fast'),$("#a3").fadeIn('slow'); }); $("#b3,#b3b").click(function(){ $("#a3").fadeOut('fast'),$("#a4").fadeIn('slow'); $("#bar").width(0); $("#bar").delay(150).animate({width: '+=40%'},'slow').delay(1200).animate({width: '+=20%'},'slow').delay(1000).animate({width: '+=20%'},'slow').delay(2000).animate({width: '+=20%'},'slow'); $('html, body').delay(10000).animate({ scrollTop: $('.comp').offset().top }, 'slow'); $('#r1').show(500).delay(2000).hide(500); $('#r2').delay(2000).show(500).delay(2000).hide(500); $('#r3').delay(4500).show(500).delay(2000).hide(500); $('#r4').delay(7000).show(500); $('#r5').delay(8500).show(500); $('#rb1').delay(2000).show(500); $('#rb2').delay(4500).show(500); $('#rb3').delay(7500).show(500); }); });

Answer 1

Instead of trying to delay animations in absolute times, you can make them relative to one another by nesting functions in them that are executed when another animation has finished. That way you can also be relatively sure that the element to scroll to will be non-hidden when the right time arrives (which I think was your problem).

See this fiddle .

I botched the times, but it should give you an idea. The changed code would now look something like this:

$("#b3,#b3b").click(function(){
  $("#a3").fadeOut('fast'),$("#a4").fadeIn('slow');

  $("#bar").width(0);
  $('#r1').show(500);
  $("#bar").delay(150).animate({width: '+=40%'},2000, function() {
    $('#r1').hide(500);
    $('#r2').show(500);
    $('#rb1').show(500);
    $("#bar").animate({width: '+=20%'},2000, function() {
      $('#r2').hide(500);
      $('#r3').show(500);
      $('#rb2').show(500);
      $("#bar").animate({width: '+=20%'},2000, function() {
        $('#r3').hide(500);
        $('#r4').show(500);
        $('#rb3').show(500);
        $("#bar").animate({width: '+=20%'},2000, function() {
          $('#r4').show(500);
          $("#r5").show(); // show the element before you scroll to its child
          $('html, body').animate({
            scrollTop: $('.comp').offset().top
          }, 'slow');
        });
      });
    });
  });
});
