jQuery move to anchor location on page load

I have a simple page setup such as:

<div id="aboutUs">
  About us content...
</div>
<div id="header">
  Header content...
</div>

When the page loads, I need the page to automatically scroll down (no animation needed) to #header, so the user cannot see the About Us div unless they scroll up.

#aboutUs has a fixed height, so there isn't any need for any variables to determine the height or anything... if that's even needed.

I came across this other question and tried to modify some of the answers for my situation, but nothing seemed to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Description

You can do this using jQuery's .scrollTop() and .offset() method

Check out my sample and this jsFiddle Demonstration

Sample

$(function() {
    $(document).scrollTop( $("#header").offset().top );  
});

• jQuery.offset()

Did you tried JQuery's scrollTo method? http://demos.flesler.com/jquery/scrollTo/

Or you can extend JQuery and add your custom mentod:

jQuery.fn.extend({
 scrollToMe: function () {
   var x = jQuery(this).offset().top - 100;
   jQuery('html,body').animate({scrollTop: x}, 400);
}});

Then you can call this method like:

$("#header").scrollToMe();

Put this right before the closing Body tag at the bottom of the page.

<script>
    if (location.hash) {
        location.href = location.hash;
    }
</script>

jQuery is actually not required.
