Smooth scroll when clicking in-page links

When clicking a link in a page that moves focus to another part of the same page, this script will make the page scroll, rather than just snap into view. This gives a somewhat better perception of how the in-page links have moved you in the document.

Or at the script home page in my blog, for that matter. (I'd like to promote such a bug there, too, if it might buy it some more publicity.)

I'm still torn about whether that qualifies as a browser bug, or an inevitable misfeature by design of the script. I'm presently leaning towards browser bug; it's the state of my session before I clicked a link that the "back" button should return me to. I'd file a mozilla bug on it if I felt more strongly about it, but go very low on such strong wording my case. It would be a very nice feature being rid of this misfeature, but I won't hold grudges against whatever is behind this not already being done in every browser.

Still, recent mozillas have started to remember the page state of places I went to and completely rearranged by means of scriptlets and user scripts, so people are obviously trying to improve on things like these. If anyone finds or files a bug on this for us to vote on, please link it from here.

@Wiser .. all the more reason to take advantage of that 'tabs' feature ;)

It's a very nice script. The only problem is that because of the way it works, if you click on the back button to return to where you were previously, it only moves you up a line from where you currently are.
