jQuery: scroll smoothly to the bottom of an element?

Question

I have the following code which scrolls to the bottom of an element (DIV) and it works.

But the animation i snot really smooth... I have seen this done much smoothly.

This is my current code:

var $t = $('#messages');
$t.animate({"scrollTop": $('#messages')[0].scrollHeight}, "slow");

Is there any way to make this smoother using CSS or any other means?

any help would be appreciated.

You can Use this:

$(function() {
  $('a[href*=#]:not([href=#])').click(function() {
    if (location.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') == this.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') && location.hostname == this.hostname) {
      var target = $(this.hash);
      target = target.length ? target : $('[name=' + this.hash.slice(1) +']');
      if (target.length) {
        $('html,body').animate({
          scrollTop: target.offset().top
        }, 1000);
        return false;
      }
    }
  });
});

Code-only answers are not very useful. Please provide some explanation of what you are doing, why / how it works, etc. – random_user_name Oct 02 '17 at 21:39
