| Dec 5, 2016 at 12:46 | comment | added | Gherman | @MarkusZeller, why shouldn't the parameter be called hash? It doesn't collide with location, does it? | |

You should not use scrollTo, because it is already used by the global window object. Also the parameter should not be named hash, because location.hash is defined, too. You may use this code: function scrollToHash(hashName) { location.hash = "#" + hashName; }

| May 13, 2015 at 17:01 | comment | added | Benny Schmidt | @Ryan The question was about how to do it in javascript, not HTML. | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 15:32 | comment | added | nico gawenda | When you set the value, you have to omit the hash sign. "location.hash = hash;" - which also makes it pretty weird to wrap it in a function | |
| Nov 10, 2014 at 17:05 | comment | added | Cristian Vrabie | Note that this will only work once. Once the hash is set, the page won't scroll to the same hash unless you change it to a dummy one then set it again. | |

| Aug 19, 2014 at 12:22 | comment | added | QUB3X | @chrisツ It change the URL adding the "#anchor", right? | |

That doesn't actually scroll though, it just jumps. At that point you might as well just link to the anchor <a href="#anchorName">link</a>
