On link click, I want the user to download a file (in the href). On that same click, at the same time, I want to scroll them down the page to a form.
Based on my code, I can only do one or the other. I'm unable to perform both actions.
HTML
<a href="http://www.cdc.gov/animalimportation/images/dog2.jpg" download="dog2.jpg"
class="scroll-to-bottom-link">Scroll to bottom</a>
<p>here is some secondary information</p>
jQuery
$('.scroll-to-bottom-link').click(function(){
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop : $('body').height() }, 800);
return false;
});
Any ideas on how to do this? Other options I've found use href="#", but I need that for my download.
I would put a div in the a tag and attach the event to it
<a href="http://www.cdc.gov/animalimportation/images/dog2.jpg" download ><div class="scroll-to-bottom-link">Scroll to bottom</div></a>
<p>here is some secondary information</p>
and then remove the remove false from the function.
$('.scroll-to-bottom-link').click(function(){
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop : $('body').height() }, 800);
});
