scrollIntoView loading on startup












1















I have a very basic scrollIntoView function that runs whenever I click a link in my navbar. The problem I'm having, is that when the page loads, it quickly snaps to the scroll location and then snaps back to the top. How can I make it so that it doesn't snap at the start of the page? Thanks in advance!



Here is one of the scrollIntoView functions:



function aboutUsScroll() {
var aboutUs = document.querySelector(".aboutUs");
aboutUs.scrollIntoView({ block: "start", behavior: "smooth" });
}


And here is some of the HTML:



<div class="navBar">
<div class="navBarButtons">Home</div>
<div class="navBarButtons">Gallery</div>
<div class="navBarButtons" onclick="aboutUsScroll()">About Us</div>
<div class="navBarButtons">Contact Us</div>
<div class="navBarButtons" onclick="footerScroll()">Social</div>
</div>


Hope someone can help me :)

You could load the function after the page content loads:



window.onload = function() {
function aboutUsScroll() {
var aboutUs = document.querySelector(".aboutUs");
aboutUs.scrollIntoView({ block: "start", behavior: "smooth" });
}
}
