Wordpress scroll to comment

Question

In wordpress when a comment is posted the page refreshes and scrolls to the comment, but what I need to do is that the jquery automatically animate the scroll to that comment. The problem is that when I take the hash from url and find the comment with that Id it shows it's location is 0 but it's not.

var hash, hash_s;
if( window.location.hash ) {
    hash = $( '#' + window.location.hash.substring( 1 ) );

    if( hash ) {
        hash_s = hash.position( ).top;
        console.log( hash_s );

        body.animate( { scrollTop: hash_s }, 600 );
    }
}

console.log( hash_s ) outputs value 0

Answer 1

Try offset hash.offset( ).top; to get the value relative to the document
