Scroll back to the top of scrollable div

Question

#containerDiv          


        

Answer 1

As per François Noël's answer "For those who still can't make this work, make sure that the overflowed element is displayed before using the jQuery function."

I had been working in a bootstrap modal that I repeatedly bring up with account permissions in a div that overflows on the y dimension. My problem was, I was trying to use the jquery .scrollTop(0) function and it would not work no matter how I tried to do it. I had to setup an event for the modal that didn't reset the scrollbar until the modal had stopped animating. The code that finally worked for me is here:

    $('#add-modal').on('shown.bs.modal', function (e) {
        $('div.border').scrollTop(0);
    });
