When something like <a href="#bottom_content"> is used to link to a div at the bottom of the same page, how can I have that page scroll to that location instead of teleport (for lack of a better word) there?

I have never used, nor did I know much about this plugin, but it came up first on a google search, so use at your own risk.

<a href="#nameofthediv">Link to the div</a>
<div id="nameofthediv">Content</div>
