Right now I'm using this:
$('#go-to-top').each(function(){
$(this).click(function(){
$('html').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow'); return true;
});
});
which doesn't work in Chrome, and in Opera I get a small flicker: the browser instantly scrolls to the top, then back to the bottom and then it begins to scroll slowly back to top, like it should.
Is there a better way to do this?
This will be working in all browsers. It avoids the hash tag on the url, so, the smooth scroll is done!
I am using this, This is also simple
I have a smooth solution in two ways: smooth scrolling and a smooth button.
With JavaScript disabled, it´s just a link on the bottom of the page to the anchor
top
.(
#
as href can be pretty unstable.)With JavaScript enabled:
href
attribute and addclick
handler for smooth scrolling. (keeps URL and browser history tidy and I need noreturn
orpreventDefault
in the scrolling function)Display link only if scroll position > window height.
HTML
jQuery
Hm... strange, with jsFiddle I can get it to work fine in Opera (ver 11.01), but in Chrome it just jumps up to the top and doesn't animate it like you want to.
You can se the jsFiddle here if you want to: http://jsfiddle.net/H7RFU/
I hope that helps a bit, though it's not really an answer.
If what I have made isn't what your html etc looks like, please update it and add it.
Best regards,

Caveat: I haven't used the save function of jsFiddle before so I dunno for how long it it saved.
To get it to work in opera this answer proved helpful.
Putting that with your
click()
Code example on jsfiddle.
Side note if all you are doing with the
.each()
is assigning a click handler you do not need to iterate over the collection it can be simplified to this:Also if there is more than one element with id
#go-to-top
your markup will be invalid, try switching it to a class.go-to-top
You're returning
true
from the click function, so it won't prevent the default browser behaviour (i.e. navigating to thego-to-top
anchor. As Mark has said, use:$('html,body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow');
So your code should now look like:
