javascript - document.body.scrollTop Firefox returns 0 : ONLY JS

Question

Any alternatives in pure javascript?

The following works in opera, chrome and safari. Have not tested yet on explorer:

At page load should scroll down to div '.content':

var destiny = document.getElementsByClassName('content');
var destinyY = destiny[0].offsetTop;
scrollTo(document.body, destinyY, 200);

function scrollTo(element, to, duration) {
    if (duration <= 0) return;
    var difference = to - element.scrollTop;
    var perTick = difference / duration * 2;

    setTimeout(function() {
        element.scrollTop = element.scrollTop + perTick;
        scrollTo(element, to, duration - 2);
    }, 10);
};

Try using this: document.documentElement.scrollTop. If I am correct document.body.scrollTop is deprecated.

Update

Seems like Chrome does not play along with the answer, to be safe use as suggested by @Nikolai Mavrenkov in the comments:

window.pageYOffset || document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop || 0

Now all browsers should be covered.
