jQuery: Scroll down page a set increment (in pixels) on click?

Question

I\'m trying to make a page scroll down 150px from the current position when an element is clicked. So lets say you\'re roughly halfway scrolled down a page. You click this

Answer 1

Updated version of HCD's solution which avoids conflict:

var y = $j(window).scrollTop(); 
$j("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: y + $j(window).height() }, 600);

Answer 2

Pure js solution for newcomers or anyone else.

var scrollAmount = 150;
var element = document.getElementById("elem");

element.addEventListener("click", scrollPage);

function scrollPage() {
    var currentPositionOfPage = window.scrollY;
    window.scrollTo(0, currentPositionOfPage + scrollAmount);
}

Answer 3

var y = $(window).scrollTop();  //your current y position on the page
$(window).scrollTop(y+150);

Answer 4

Just check this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".scroll").click(function(event){
        $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: '+=150px'}, 800);
    });
});

It will make scroller scroll from current position when your element is clicked

And 150px is used to scroll for 150px downwards

If you want to do it using scrollTo plugin, then take a look the following:
