ayesha789 asked me how to use my smooth scroll script in code snippets section.
i created an example for him here :
htmlpage :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function elementPosition(obj) {
var curleft = 0, curtop = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent) {
curleft = obj.offsetLeft;
curtop = obj.offsetTop;
while (obj = obj.offsetParent) {
curleft += obj.offsetLeft;
curtop += obj.offsetTop;
}
}
return { x: curleft, y: curtop };
}
function ScrollToControl(id)
{
var elem = document.getElementById(id);
var scrollPos = elementPosition(elem).y;
scrollPos = scrollPos - document.documentElement.scrollTop;
var remainder = scrollPos % 50;
var repeatTimes = (scrollPos - remainder) / 50;
ScrollSmoothly(scrollPos,repeatTimes);
window.scrollBy(0,remainder);
}
var repeatCount = 0;
var cTimeout;
var timeoutIntervals = new Array();
var timeoutIntervalSpeed;
function ScrollSmoothly(scrollPos,repeatTimes)
{
if(repeatCount < repeatTimes)
{
window.scrollBy(0,50);
}
else
{
repeatCount = 0;
clearTimeout(cTimeout);
return;
}
repeatCount++;
cTimeout = setTimeout("ScrollSmoothly('" + scrollPos + "','"+ repeatTimes +"')",10);
}
</script>

<strong>Lorem Ipsum</strong> is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting
industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the
1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a
type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into
electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the
1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more
recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions
of Lorem Ipsum.</p>
<div class="rc">
<h2 class="why">
<span>Why do we use it?</span></h2>
<p>
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content
of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it
has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content
here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing
packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and
a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various
versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose
(injected humour and the like).</p>

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots
in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.
Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked
up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage,
and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the
undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus
Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC.
This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance.
The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line
in section 1.10.32.</p>
<p>
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those
interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by
Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English
versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.</p>

<p>
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority
have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which
don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem
Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle
of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined
chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses
a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence
structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem
Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic
words etc.</p>
