Functions
--------------

• If you can't already tell from the example, you can set anchors in your posts via the [anchor] tag, and create a link that enables the user to jump to them via the [jump] tag. This comes very handy if you want to make a navigation for your forum rules, tutorials, or any other list-type post. Best of all, using cube root, the javascript function I made allows for a smooth/exponential jump.

Features
------------

• prioritization: if there are multiple anchors - it uses DOM nesting detection to choose the anchor which is within the post containing the jump tag being clicked
• optional cross-page jumping (hyper-link to anchors!)
• optional key-shortcuts (remembers last anchor and last jump)
• uses setInterval as oppose to a loop for best performance
• works on all internet browsers
• works on every version of vBulletin

Installation
------------------

• Just download the zipped txt attached to this post with the 3 easy installation steps. Follow them and it's as easy as cake. Enjoy!

Hyperlinking Anchors
-----------------------------

• To hyperlink anchors, your link must contain a reference to the post the anchor is in and the anchor of which to jump to
• Heres the 2 possible ways (order of paramters doesn't matter - as long as the link contains the anchor parameter and a hash(#) to the post, or the p parameter to the post):
• nameofanchor is the name of the anchor
• 1337 is the number of the post which contains the anchor
• http://site.com/etcetcetc?anchor=nameofanchor&p=1337
• http://site.com/etcetcetc?anchor=nameofanchor#post1336

Key-Shortcuts
-----------------------------

• There are two keyshortcuts: Alt+A and Alt+J
• Alt+A (Anchor Shortcut) jumps you to the last anchor that you previously jumped to
• Alt+J (Jump Shortcut) jumps you to the last jump tag you previously clicked

Oh I see, so the jump won't be used, only the anchor with a url linking to it. Thanks sirbutts! (and it's Fire Dawg, not fat dadday lol)

Thanks pimp, great hack. You rock. The alt+J is a good idea too.

Sweeet. Thanks for the hard work pimpness.

The alt shortcuts aren't working for me on IE 6 - Windows 2000 pro.
Anybody else having issues?

Edit: I think it's just this computer. I'll try again when I get home.

Footer script causes javascript error when typing in posting box. Can I get the previous footer script? That one wasn't causing any errors for me and it works fine without the alt code.

Aye sorry. I mistakenly didn't make it cross-browser for IE. Fixed now.
Please redownload and install again. Thanks.

Nice update pimpery.
Works great for menus.
That way they can press Alt+J to go back to the menu of the tutorial they are viewing

How do you crossjump to, for example page 2? links in Sirbutts' post don't work.
