How to go to a specific element on page? [duplicate]

If the element is currently not visible on the page, you can use the native scrollIntoView() method.

$('#div_' + element_id)[0].scrollIntoView( true );

Where true means align to the top of the page, and false is align to bottom.

Otherwise, there’s a scrollTo() plugin for jQuery you can use.

Or maybe just get the top position()(docs) of the element, and set the scrollTop()(docs) to that position:

var top = $('#div_' + element_id).position().top;
$(window).scrollTop( top );
