Go to top of page using jQuery

, ,

This one liner jQuery snippet will force your browser to go to the top of your page:

$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 0);

If you want to add some smooth scrolling:

$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow');

    hiya,

    Do you have to add an element that the user can click on?
    I ask because I have jQuery installed: jquery-1.3.2.min.js
    ..and javScript enabled.

    I have other jQuery effects working on the same page.

    I tried the following:

    TOP

    $(“h3″)
    $(‘html, body’).animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, ‘slow’);

    Do you know where I’m going wrong?

    Many thanks,

    Blockstopper

      Try
      $(“h3″).click(function(){
                $(‘html, body’).animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, ‘slow’);
      })

      That should work. Although that would make all h3 things take the user to the top of the page. Pehaps give your item the ID “TopPage” then instead of $(‘h3′) you could use $(‘#TopPage’)
