I do not understand why the scrollTop() jquery function is not working on the 'body' element on Firefox.
$('body').scrollTop(0);
I fixed my issue using:
$(window).scrollTop(0);
However according to the jquery documentation scrollTop() is supposed to work on all elements like in this example:
$( "div.demo" ).scrollTop( 300 );
I have also tested with 'nav' and 'main' but it is not working either.
Scroll
$(window).scrollTop(0);
seems to be supported by all browsers IE9+ (maybe IE8 but I don't test on that any more).
Animated Scroll
If you want to animate a scroll, jQuery returns an error if using the window
object (1.11.2 tested). Instead, to animate a scroll, it's best to use both html
and body
to cover engines which utilise either one. So:
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop:0},500);
will scroll to the top of the browser in half a second.
Scroll Position
You cannot use $('html,body').scrollTop()
to find the current scroll position of the page - at least Chrome doesn't support this (always returns 0). Instead, to consistently find the scroll position of a page, it's necessary to use $(window).scrollTop();
.
Use window
if you want consistency between browsers.
$(window).scrollTop();
try this:
your div to scroll:
<div id="top"></div>
and scroll top js:
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: $('#top').offset().top},'slow');
