Help: Changing the scroll speed of this smooth scroll javascript

[nataku_0]

Hi everyone,

I found a smoothscroll javascript from this website:
http://www.dezinerfolio.com/2007/08/...-smooth-scroll

I love it because it is a very lightweight javascript.
However, I have absolutely no idea how to change the scroll speed.
I tried everything that I know (which is not much) to change the code, but nothing seems to change anything.

Any help would be great.
You can download the javascript from the website, it comes in a folder that contains the js and an example html.


This is the code for a preview:

/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

Scroller = {
	// control the speed of the scroller.
	// dont change it here directly, please use Scroller.speed=50;
	speed:10,

	// returns the Y position of the div
	gy: function (d) {
		gy = d.offsetTop
		if (d.offsetParent) while (d = d.offsetParent) gy += d.offsetTop
		return gy
	},

	// returns the current scroll position
	scrollTop: function (){
		body=document.body
	    d=document.documentElement
	    if (body && body.scrollTop) return body.scrollTop
	    if (d && d.scrollTop) return d.scrollTop
	    if (window.pageYOffset) return window.pageYOffset
	    return 0
	},

	// attach an event for an element
	// (element, type, function)
	add: function(event, body, d) {
	    if (event.addEventListener) return event.addEventListener(body, d,false)
	    if (event.attachEvent) return event.attachEvent('on'+body, d)
	},

	// kill an event of an element
	end: function(e){
		if (window.event) {
			window.event.cancelBubble = true
			window.event.returnValue = false
      		return;
    	}
	    if (e.preventDefault && e.stopPropagation) {
	      e.preventDefault()
	      e.stopPropagation()
	    }
	},
	
	// move the scroll bar to the particular div.
	scroll: function(d){
		i = window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight;
		h=document.body.scrollHeight;
		a = Scroller.scrollTop()
		if(d>a)
			if(h-d>i)
				a+=Math.ceil((d-a)/Scroller.speed)
			else
				a+=Math.ceil((d-a-(h-d))/Scroller.speed)
		else
			a = a+(d-a)/Scroller.speed;
		window.scrollTo(0,a)
	  	if(a==d || Scroller.offsetTop==a)clearInterval(Scroller.interval)
	  	Scroller.offsetTop=a
	},
	// initializer that adds the renderer to the onload function of the window
	init: function(){
		Scroller.add(window,'load', Scroller.render)
	},

	// this method extracts all the anchors and validates then as # and attaches the events.
	render: function(){
		a = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
		Scroller.end(this);
		window.onscroll
	    for (i=0;i<a.length;i++) {
	      l = a[i];
	      if(l.href && l.href.indexOf('#') != -1 && ((l.pathname==location.pathname) || ('/'+l.pathname==location.pathname)) ){
	      	Scroller.add(l,'click',Scroller.end)
	      		l.onclick = function(){
	      			Scroller.end(this);
		        	l=this.hash.substr(1);
		        	 a = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
				     for (i=0;i<a.length;i++) {
				     	if(a[i].name == l){
				     		clearInterval(Scroller.interval);
				     		Scroller.interval=setInterval('Scroller.scroll('+Scroller.gy(a[i])+')',10);
						}
					}
				}
	      	}
		}
	}
}
// invoke the initializer of the scroller
Scroller.init();

I have tried changing a bunch of numbers and tried using Scroller.speed, but nothing seems to work.

The solution is probably very simple, but I am very inexperienced with coding.

Thank you.

// invoke the initializer of the scroller
Scroller.init();
Scroller.speed=50;

yeah that was the first thing I tried, but it didn't do anything. Changing the 50 doesn't do anything either.

Did you get it to work from their example html?

[Fang]

Yes

That's very weird because adding that line to the js does absolutely nothing for me, the speed remains very very similar...

Is that all you did? By using 50, did the scroll get slower?
