jquery smooth scroll to an anchor?

Is there a way to scroll down to an anchor link using jQuery?

Like:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#gotomyanchor").click(function(){
      $.scrollSmoothTo($("#myanchor"));
  });
});

?

Here is how I do it:

    var hashTagActive = "";
    $(".scroll").on("click touchstart" , function (event) {
        if(hashTagActive != this.hash) { //this will prevent if the user click several times the same link to freeze the scroll.
            event.preventDefault();
            //calculate destination place
            var dest = 0;
            if ($(this.hash).offset().top > $(document).height() - $(window).height()) {
                dest = $(document).height() - $(window).height();
            } else {
                dest = $(this.hash).offset().top;
            }
            //go to destination
            $('html,body').animate({
                scrollTop: dest
            }, 2000, 'swing');
            hashTagActive = this.hash;
        }
    });

Then you just need to create your anchor like this:

<a class="scroll" href="#destination1">Destination 1</a>

You can see it on my website.
A demo is also available here: http://jsfiddle.net/YtJcL/

I would use the simple code snippet from CSS-Tricks.com:

$(function() {
  $('a[href*=#]:not([href=#])').click(function() {
    if (location.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') == this.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') && location.hostname == this.hostname) {
      var target = $(this.hash);
      target = target.length ? target : $('[name=' + this.hash.slice(1) +']');
      if (target.length) {
        $('html,body').animate({
          scrollTop: target.offset().top
        }, 1000);
        return false;
      }
    }
  });
});

Best solution I have seen so far: jQuery: Smooth Scrolling Internal Anchor Links

HTML:

<a href="#comments" class="scroll">Scroll to comments</a>

Script:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $(".scroll").click(function(event){     
        event.preventDefault();
        $('html,body').animate({scrollTop:$(this.hash).offset().top}, 500);
    });
});
