I really like the way it works too, and it falls back fine easily with no JS.
Any way of tweaking the tween/animation/scroll so it eases in/out? Here's my newbie jQuery site > www.tobybrancher.net <http://www.tobybrancher.net/> it's the first time I have used it and definitely needs some work (been reading up on the href comments made here although nothing yet about clearing the focus).

Absolutely true, Karl. The biggest problem with those new to the Internet (and, yes, there are such people still around) is the "jumping around". between pages, from one part of the page to the other with anchors, etc. I remember the first time I used the Internet.my initial response was that it was "very" disconcerting...one click and instantly everything on the screen was changed, especially with an anchor. It took awhile to get used to the freedom to move virtually anywhere on the 'Net in an instant. The smooth scroll effect will make anchors usable for me. Smooth changes in page content or orientation help people know where they are in relation to where they've been.

I like using it over a regular in-page link because it gives the user a sense of how they got there rather than a disorienting sudden change. Glad you like the site Rick. Joel. I love this smooth scroll, too, and have used it on a few of my own sites. (Thanks, Stefan!) It's one of those effects that is more than just eye candy. I'd love to hear Klaus's take on this, or any other usability guru out there, but to me the smooth scroll seems much better than the default "quick jump" because of the "disorienting sudden change" that you mention. --Karl _________________ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com
