How can i create a transition when linking to a element?

Look at the example i made:

You see transition from anchor to blue happen in an instant, how can i make a nice transition so it doesn't move that fast????

You'll need to add some sort of animation, rather than using the default anchor functionality. Check out this code snippet: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/smooth-scrolling/, or just do a Google search for "jquery animate to anchor". I imagine this could be done without jQuery as well, if you aren't already using jQuery in your project.
