Problem: Scrollto hash on load if id does not exist

if(window.location.hash) {
$(‘html, body’).animate({
scrollTop: $(window.location.hash).offset().top – 82
}, 1000 );
}

The following block is responsible for the smooth scroll on load and does it well. However it doesn’t take account of false html-node ids. Which would lead to an exception here: $(window.location.hash).offset() since $(window.location.hash) would return [undefined].

My fix since (the previous version) would be to wrap a try/catch around the block.
if(window.location.hash) try {
$(‘html, body’).animate({
scrollTop: $(window.location.hash).offset().top – 82
}, 1000 );
}catch(e){}
