title: jquery scrollTop does not work in IE8
body: <p>I'm trying to scroll the page based on the hash on the url. Here's my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var hash = window.location.hash;
  $(hash).scrollTop();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This doesn't to anything. So what am I doing wrong?
  And another thing, I need something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(hash).scrollTop($("#header").height());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is that possible?..is my div(the element hash is pointed to) going to scroll to the top, upto the bottom of the <code>"#header"</code>?..</p>
  
  <h1>Update 1</h1>
  
  <p>The hash text is an id so it returns the text "#myid" from <code>window.location.hash</code>. One other thing, the div of the header has a <code>position:fixed</code> on its css while the container where the div(the hash is id'd to) has a <code>position:absolute</code> so it is scrolling under the <code>#header</code> that's why I need it to scroll to the bottom of the header or the height.</p>
  
  <h1>Update 2</h1>
  
  <p>I'm now trying to use the <a href="https://github.com/Arwid/jQuery.scrollIntoView" rel="nofollow">scrollIntoView() plugin</a> but having the error. </p>
