Anchor links in TOC don't scroll the page

[akbr]

Concise example here: https://akbr.gitbooks.io/anchor/content/

Any insight?

This is working for me on Safari (9.1.1 on El Capitan); if I click on "Anchor One" or "Anchor Two", it scrolls the page.

What browser are you using?

[akbr]

I'm using the most recent version of Chrome (v51.0.2704.63 m) on Windows 10.

To clarify: Clicking the anchor link doesn't scroll the page, but browsing directly to it (e.g., by clicking here: https://akbr.gitbooks.io/anchor/content/#one) does.

Visiting https://akbr.gitbooks.io/anchor/content/, clicking on Anchor one or Anchor two in the TOC scrolls beautifully for me. Back and forth no problem.

I'm getting the same issue on Chrome (Version 50.0.2661.102) with OS X 10.10.5.

This used to be workaround code but seems like it no longer does the trick with Gitbook V3.

var target = window.location.hash;

window.location.hash = "";

$(document).ready(function() {
    setTimeout(function() {
        document.location.hash = target;
    }, 50);
});

@SamyPesse any chance the fancy slower scroll that is used when clicking on an anchor link in the summary might be the culprit? And is there a way to disable that functionality?

[jeffmohr]

Odd, just another thing I stumbled upon was disabling the "anchors" plugin and adding "heading-anchors" seemed to resolve things for me.
