Page scroll to id with mousewheel and keyboard
Code sample which should scroll between page sections created with Page scroll to id plugin, using the mouse-wheel and keyboard arrows.
In order to scroll between page sections via mouse-wheel and/or keyboard you’d normally need custom javascript code made specifically for your site layout/markup but I’ve created a more generic script that works along Page scroll to id plugin. The script uses a special plugin class (_mPS2id-h
) in order to work independently from most layouts. This class is related to plugin’s highlight feature, meaning that it should work in most cases.
The script should be placed after Page scroll to id plugin files and function call. If you’re using the WordPress version of the plugin, you should place it wherever your theme allows you to add custom javascript or directly in the footer.php template inside a script (<script>...</script>
) tag after wp_footer();
The script
(function($){ $(window).on("load",function(){ if(!$(document).data("mPS2id")){ console.log("Error: 'Page scroll to id' plugin not present or activated. Please run the code after plugin is loaded."); return; } $(document).data("mPS2idExtend",{ selector:"._mPS2id-h", currentSelector:function(){ return this.index($(".mPS2id-highlight-first").length ? $(".mPS2id-highlight-first") : $(".mPS2id-highlight")); }, input:{y:null,x:null}, i:null, time:null }).on("scrollSection",function(e,dlt,i){ var d=$(this).data("mPS2idExtend"), sel=$(d.selector); if(!$("html,body").is(":animated")){ if(!i) i=d.currentSelector.call(sel); if(!(i===0 && dlt>0) && !(i===sel.length-1 && dlt<0)) sel.eq(i-dlt).trigger("click.mPS2id"); } }).on("mousewheel DOMMouseScroll",function(e){ //mousewheel if($($(this).data("mPS2idExtend").selector).length) e.preventDefault(); $(this).trigger("scrollSection",((e.originalEvent.detail<0 || e.originalEvent.wheelDelta>0) ? 1 : -1)); }).on("keydown",function(e){ //keyboard var code=e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which, keys=$(this).data("mPS2id").layout==="horizontal" ? [37,39] : [38,40]; if(code===keys[0] || code===keys[1]){ if($($(this).data("mPS2idExtend").selector).length) e.preventDefault(); $(this).trigger("scrollSection",(code===keys[0] ? 1 : -1)); } }); }); })(jQuery);
You can change the selector
value to a more specific one if you need. This selector should be your “Page scroll to id” main navigation links, so instead of using simply selector:"._mPS2id-h"
you could use for example selector:".menu-item ._mPS2id-h"
Important: Please note that you do not have to add the _mPS2id-h
class to your elements. It is added automatically by the plugin. Also note that if you have additional links handled by the plugin (e.g. in addition to your menu links, you have back-to-top, next/previous section links etc. in your page), you might need to set your main (e.g. menu) links selector as the “Highlight selector(s)” in plugin settings (e.g. set the option value to .menu-item a
).
The script works best when your sections have the same height (or width for horizontal layouts) as the viewport, which is something that most page layouts with this kind of functionality have.
Extending the script with touch events (optional)
If you want to have the same functionality in touch-devices, you can extend the script above like this:
(function($){ $(window).on("load",function(){ if(!$(document).data("mPS2id")){ console.log("Error: 'Page scroll to id' plugin not present or activated. Please run the code after plugin is loaded."); return; } $(document).data("mPS2idExtend",{ selector:"._mPS2id-h", currentSelector:function(){ return this.index($(".mPS2id-highlight-first").length ? $(".mPS2id-highlight-first") : $(".mPS2id-highlight")); }, input:{y:null,x:null}, i:null, time:null }).on("scrollSection",function(e,dlt,i){ var d=$(this).data("mPS2idExtend"), sel=$(d.selector); if(!$("html,body").is(":animated")){ if(!i) i=d.currentSelector.call(sel); if(!(i===0 && dlt>0) && !(i===sel.length-1 && dlt<0)) sel.eq(i-dlt).trigger("click.mPS2id"); } }).on("mousewheel DOMMouseScroll",function(e){ //mousewheel if($($(this).data("mPS2idExtend").selector).length) e.preventDefault(); $(this).trigger("scrollSection",((e.originalEvent.detail<0 || e.originalEvent.wheelDelta>0) ? 1 : -1)); }).on("keydown",function(e){ //keyboard var code=e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which, keys=$(this).data("mPS2id").layout==="horizontal" ? [37,39] : [38,40]; if(code===keys[0] || code===keys[1]){ if($($(this).data("mPS2idExtend").selector).length) e.preventDefault(); $(this).trigger("scrollSection",(code===keys[0] ? 1 : -1)); } }).on("pointerdown touchstart",function(e){ //touch (optional) var o=e.originalEvent, d=$(this).data("mPS2idExtend"); if(o.pointerType==="touch" || e.type==="touchstart"){ var y=o.screenY || o.changedTouches[0].screenY; d.input.y=y; if($(this).data("mPS2id").layout==="horizontal"){ var x=o.screenX || o.changedTouches[0].screenX; d.input.x=x; } d.time=o.timeStamp; d.i=d.currentSelector.call($(d.selector)); } }).on("touchmove",function(e){ if($("html,body").is(":animated")) e.preventDefault(); }).on("pointerup touchend",function(e){ var o=e.originalEvent; if(o.pointerType==="touch" || e.type==="touchend"){ var y=o.screenY || o.changedTouches[0].screenY, d=$(this).data("mPS2idExtend"), diff=d.input.y-y, time=o.timeStamp-d.time, i=d.currentSelector.call($(d.selector)); if($(this).data("mPS2id").layout==="horizontal"){ var x=o.screenX || o.changedTouches[0].screenX, diff=d.input.x-x; } if(Math.abs(diff)<2) return; var _switch=function(){ return time<200 && i===d.i; }; $(this).trigger("scrollSection",[(diff>0 && _switch() ? -1 : diff<0 && _switch() ? 1 : 0),(_switch() ? d.i : i)]); } }); }); })(jQuery);
You should also add the following rule to your stylesheet:
body{ -ms-touch-action: none; touch-action: none; }
Please note that using such functionality with touch devices can be (very) tricky and might not work exactly the same across all devices, browsers etc. A good way would be to keep such behavior for mouse and keyboard and let touch devices scroll the page normally.
Auto-generating aside bullet indicators (optional)
If you see the script demo, in addition to the main navigation menu, you’ll notice few bullets at the right which act as links and visual indicators of the sections. You can create those by hand or you can use a small function like this:
$("body").append("<div id='sections-bullets' />").find($(document).data("mPS2idExtend").selector).each(function(){ $("#sections-bullets").append("<a href='"+$(this).attr("href")+"' class='section-bullet' rel='m_PageScroll2id'></a>"); });
This should be placed within the window load function:
(function($){ $(window).on("load",function(){ //the script above goes here code... //still inside window load we add the function that auto-generates the bullets $("body").append("<div id='sections-bullets' />").find($(document).data("mPS2idExtend").selector).each(function(){ $("#sections-bullets").append("<a href='"+$(this).attr("href")+"' class='section-bullet' rel='m_PageScroll2id'></a>"); }); }); })(jQuery);
If you need help or the code customized for some specific layout let me know in the comments or contact me.
Thanks for this plugin, script, and support! I hope you can assist me. I have the plugin installed, but after I put the script into my footer.php, I can no longer scroll with my mouse at all on the site.
If I use the menu to go to another section on the page, that works fine – but if you scroll down on the mouse, it will bring you always to the top of the page.

What am I doing wrong to get this working?
Hi,
Try changing the selector line in the custom script from:
selector:"._mPS2id-h",
to:
selector:".menu-item ._mPS2id-h",
You could also do this in plugin settings by setting the “Highlight selector(s)” option value to:
.menu-item a
Hi mate
Scrolling is too fast on mousewheel. It skips the next section if I change scrollSpeed: 400. Is there any options to make it goes to next section not after the next section?
cheers
Hi Malihu!
Everything works fine, except the bullet indicators. I don’t know where I went wrong but I’m using wordpress. And I also don’t know where should I write the: “._mPS2id-h” and wheres these selectors.
Can I get some help about it?
Regards!
I’m tring to use your plugin on this page https://www.ecopubblicita.it/prova/
i ‘ve some problem could you help me?
What’ wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
The script should be placed after Page scroll to id plugin files and function call.
A good place to insert the custom script is in your theme/child theme footer.php template inside a script (
<script>...</script>
) tag afterwp_footer();
function.Hi malihu,
I am trying to have this scroll directly to sections in my divi one page using your script and the Page scroll to id plugin but I can’t make it work. Could you have a look and let me know if you have an idea why?
