- #hashtag navigation error in Chrome: successfully jumps to certain sections, but not all

I've been racking my brain trying to identify the root cause of a frustrating glitch. When visiting http://apapartnership.com/vol3 and clicking on any of the #hash links in the table of contents, strange results occur:

1. Clicking on any 'chapter' link from 1 to 16-18 works perfectly fine. You are directed to the correct section as expected.

2. However, clicking on a chapter link near the border or threshold between the initial 16-18 items and those requiring scroll down leads to movement, but not to the intended section.

3. At times, after multiple attempts, the links start functioning properly again.

4. This issue does not occur in vol1 where the table of contents does not require scrolling. Even if it did, this may not be the root cause.

NEW UPDATE: The problem also occurs in vol1 when adjusting the window height to activate scrolling in the table of contents.

Initially, I tested this on Firefox and found that it worked flawlessly. The glitch appears to be specific to Chrome - version 48.0.25 (at the time of writing).

I suspect the lengthy one-page document and its loading time may play a role, or possibly a conflict with some jquery code. I can't be certain. Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Sotkra

It seems like the issue you're facing may not be with the execution itself, but rather in the planning stage. The root of your problem could stem from loading too much content, especially when compared to the typical internet page.

Modern browsers are optimized more for handling intricate animations rather than processing large amounts of data (that's what robust servers are designed for, right?). The focus now is on ensuring all animations run smoothly without any interruption in movement flow - essentially achieving that seamless animation experience that browser makers and framework developers strive for.

A possible solution could involve loading only one section at a time along with the table of contents. This scenario appears tailor-made for leveraging AngularJS, which can fetch each section's content via asynchronous REST API calls while maintaining the summary.

The core issue underlying your question likely revolves around a markup error or a related issue, highlighting another significant challenge you're up against. Presently, your project seems nearly insurmountable in terms of development, maintenance, and debugging.

While this advice doesn't directly tackle your initial query, I believe it addresses the crux of your dilemma more effectively than any strictly "on-topic" response could provide.


UPDATE: (per feedback) It appears that relocating the navigation menu—styled with position: fixed—directly under the <body> has resolved the problem. In such cases, my recommendation would be to entirely remove the #toc element from the post content and position it beneath the <body> using the following script:

jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ) {
    $('#toc').appendTo('body');
});

Naturally, this adjustment necessitates modifying certain CSS selectors to ensure proper styling for the relocated item.
