animate scroll not reason for not working in FF

in Getting Started • 3 years ago

is $('body , html') and $('body' , 'html') two different things ?? because the below code does't work:

$('body' , 'html')
.animate({ scrollTop: ($(section_id).offset().top - $('.main-nav').height()) }, {
'duration': 500
});

but the works:

$('body , html')
.animate({ scrollTop: ($(section_id).offset().top - $('.main-nav').height()) }, {
'duration': 500
});

I would be shocked if it works in ANY browser!

jQuery() has NO calling form that accepts a plurality of arguments that are selectors. Thus, it comes at no surprise that your first example doesn't work. Your first example is invalid.

$('body' , 'html')

means body that is inside html. It is identical to

$('body')

In firefox you need to animate the scrollTop of html, where in all the other browser you animate the scrollTop of body. That’s why it doesn’t work!

Thanks guys.

$('body' , 'html')
means body that is inside html. It is identical to
$('body')

Í don't get how thats identical , i did't write $('html body') or $('html > body')

$('body' , 'html')

means find 'html', then find 'body' under it. There is only one body, and it is under html, so it is the same as

$('body')

To make FF work we always code

$('body , html').animate

Which is VERY different!

BTW…

$('body , html') passes one parameter

$('body' , 'html') passes two parameters.

That one flew past me, because I always use .find() rather than the second, context, parameter. I think it is more clear.

So, it doesn't work for a different reason than I thought it didn't work for... Doh!

Interestingly, the second selector syntax used to be the "ever so slightly" more efficient way. It now calls the find method. So it is "ever so slightly" less efficient.
