trying to get a smooth scroll on my site

[renegade44]

hey guys, I am trying to apply  a smooth scroll to my site. Its a 1 page site and I have anchor tags set up at various points. here is the jquery I am using which isnt working:

 

$(document).ready(function () {

    $("#menu_nav").localScroll();

    });

 

it only scrolls down like an inch no matter what button I press.

 

 

my site is www.glenhealy.com

 

you can see for yourself, if you select a menu item, it only scrolls a few inches. If I take away the jquery, it jumps right to each anchor tag like its supposed to so i know its gotta be something wrong with the way im doing the jquery.

 

anyone have any ideas?

fill the anchor tags with   and change it from name="contact" to id="contact" local links jump to ids not names

 

I've tested this on your site (firebug) and works great..

OK, it works as planned

 

Basicaly Im trying to do something dvanced now(I think)

 

I am trying to implement an fixed menu at the top so when the page scrolls, the menu scrolls too.

 

 

thus far I made it fixed, and it works as intended except I need to make it so objects scroll under the menu, so that when users use the side scroll, content doesn't go over the menu.

 

How would I do this if its even possible?

OK I figured out using the z-index does the trick.

 

an issue I am having is with a plug in I am using, its a side tab that scrolls in, It is pushing my top logo down the page about 400px and if I click "home" it goes up to its normal state. Anyone have any idea what is doing this? I uplo9aded my latest evrsion so anyone can see it. www.glenhealy.com. I have the top-margin set at 40px which is where it should be when the page loads but for some reason I think the slider on the left is making it drop down. any ideas?
