jQuery cross-browser “scroll to top”, with animation

Question

Right now I\'m using this:

$(\'#go-to-top\').each(function(){
  $(this).click(function(){ 
    $(\'html\').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, \'slow\'); return true;          


        

Answer 1

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:

$('#go-to-top').each(function(){
    $(this).click(function(){ 
        $('html,body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow');
        return false; 
    });
});

Answer 2

maybe something like

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

aswell as the html one.

$('#go-to-top').each(function(){
  $(this).click(function(){ 
    $('html').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow'); return true; 
    $('body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow'); return true; 
    $('document').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow'); return true; 
    $('window').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow'); return true; 
  });
});

should cover all browsers!
