Answer 1

Try:

document.documentElement.scrollTop = x // where x is some integer

Answer 2

Solution for EDGE needs to set scrollTop on scrollingElement document property:

document.scrollingElement.scrollTop= x; // x is integer value

But you have to ensure, that CSS on HTML element has set overflow to default value (visible):

html {
    overflow: visible;
}

Answer 3

The reason things like this don't work on one browser or another is usually due to something like:

window.document.body.scrollTop++;

You can't just do that because some browsers have that value as a string, e.g. "5px" and some have it as a number.

Answer 4

Try this

window.scroll(0,0) //x-axis, y-axis

Answer 5

If you need it to work in IE and Edge:

document.body.scrollTop = x
