jquery - Scroll to top of page

Question

Is there a simple way to force the browser to scroll to the top if a button is clicked?

I have tried

jQuery('html').scrollTop();
jQuery('body').scrollTop();
jQuery(window).scrollTop();

None of them seem to scroll to the top of the page.

Answer 1

Due to cross browser oddness, some browsers will respond to 'html' and some to 'body'. And maybe its just my luck, but .scrollTop(0) has never worked for me to move the page. Give this a shot:

jQuery('html,body').animate({scrollTop:0},0);

This version is tested and cross browser for all desktop browsers, and mobile devices.
