Scroll to the top of the page using JavaScript

Question

How do I scroll to the top of the page using JavaScript  The scrollbar instantly jumping to the top of the page is desirable too as I m not looking to achieve smooth scrolling

User · Answer

You could simply use a target from your link, such as #someid, where #someid is the div's id.

Or, you could use any number of scrolling plugins that make this more elegant.

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/ScrollTo is an example.

If you don t want smooth scrolling  you can cheat and stop the smooth scrolling animation pretty much as soon as you start it    like so        document  ready function              a href   top     click function                  html  body   animate   scrollTop  0     1                               html  body   stop true  true                Anything else you want to do in the same action goes here            return false                                                  I ve no idea whether it s recommended allowed  but it works     When would you use this  I m not sure  but perhaps when you want to use one click to animate one thing with Jquery  but do another without animation  ie open a slide-in admin login panel at the top of the page  and instantly jump to the top to see it

If you don t need the change to animate then you don t need to use any special plugins - I d just use the native JavaScript window scrollTo   method -- passing in 0  0 will scroll the page to the top left instantly  window scrollTo xCoord  yCoord    Parameters  xCoord is the pixel along the horizontal axis  yCoord is the pixel along the vertical axis

Motivation  This simple solution works natively and implements a smooth scroll to any position   It avoids using anchor links  those with    that  in my opinion  are useful if you want to link to a section  but are not so comfortable in some situations  specially when pointing to top which could lead to two different URLs pointing to the same location  http   www example org and http   www example org      Solution  Put an id to the tag you want to scroll to  for example your first section  which answers this question  but the id could be placed everywhere in the page    lt body gt     lt section id  top  gt       lt  -- your content -- gt     lt  section gt     lt div id  another  gt  lt  -- more content -- gt  lt  div gt    Then as a button you can use a link  just edit the onclick attribute with a code like this    lt a onclick  document getElementById  top   scrollIntoView   behavior   smooth   block   start   inline   nearest      gt Click me lt  a gt    Where the argument of document getElementById is the id of the tag you want to scroll to after click

A lot of users recommend selecting both the html and body tags for cross-browser compatibility  like so      html  body   animate   scrollTop  0    callback     This can trip you up though if you re counting on your callback running only once  It will in fact run twice because you ve selected two elements   If that is a problem for you  you can do something like this   function scrollToTop callback        if     html   scrollTop                 html   animate   scrollTop  0    callback           return                body   animate   scrollTop  0    callback       The reason this works is in Chrome    html   scrollTop   returns 0  but not in other browsers such as Firefox   If you don t want to wait for the animation to complete in the case that the scrollbar is already at the top  try this   function scrollToTop callback        if     html   scrollTop                 html   animate   scrollTop  0    callback           return             if     body   scrollTop                 body   animate   scrollTop  0    callback           return             callback

Really strange  This question is active for five years now and there is still no vanilla JavaScript answer to animate the scrolling    So here you go   var scrollToTop   window setInterval function         var pos   window pageYOffset      if   pos  gt  0             window scrollTo  0  pos - 20       how far to scroll on each step       else           window clearInterval  scrollToTop             16      how fast to scroll  this equals roughly 60 fps    If you like  you can wrap this in a function and call that via the onclick attribute  Check this jsfiddle  Note  This is a very basic solution and maybe not the most performant one  A very elaborated example can be found here  https   github com cferdinandi smooth-scroll
