same file with DOCTYPE

You need to animate just the body in order to make it work.

But... you're putting it into quirks mode. Add a correct doctype and try again, I think you'll need to use $('html') then to make it work properly.

Needless to say, you should use jQuery.ScrollTo for this. It should handle all different browsers (including versions) properly.

That is, as long as you add a proper doctype.

As for jQuery.ScrollTo I used it at first, with the same problem on Opera; that's why I went to a simpler code, in order to try and resolve this bug

I don't see where to click in that example.

Using the body in your initial demo does make it work.

jQuery.ScrollTo is tested with both transitional and strict doctypes, on IE 6 & 7, FF 2 & 3, Safari 3 and Opera 9.2 & 9.5. All on windows.

OK but on (my) Opera Mac it first "jumps" to the top, then animates to the anchor. And the same problem happens with scrollTo

As I told you, once you add a doctype and put it out of quirk mode, you need to use html instead of body.

I tried your example and does what you describe, then put html and all went well. Tried last version of scrollTo and worked all too.

OK version 1.4 of jquery.localscroll fixes it! I was with 1.3, sorry for the trouble

Thanks, updated (that's not the real repository).
