Hello I am new to jQuery and I have a problem! I want to scroll to the top, in a page that is loaded via AJAX call.
This works (test):
$(document).on('click', '#top_icon', function() {
alert('ok');
});
But this is not working (this is what I want to achieve):
$(document).on('click', '#top_icon', function() {
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop: '0px'}, 800);
});
Try this,
$(document).on('click', '#top_icon', function() {
$('html, body').animate({'scrollTop': '0px'}, 800);
return false;
});
scrollTop
is undefined
in your case.
I am not sure about jQuery, but scrollTop is not a CSS property and therefor might not be part of the properties that can be animated.
But you can create a simple animation for this yourself:
var startValue = 0;
var endValue = 0;
var duration = 800;
var distance = 0;
var velocity = 0;
var step = 0;
var endTime = 0;
var animate = function() {
var elapsedTime = new Date().getTime() - step;
document.body.scrollTop += velocity * elapsedTime;
step = new Date().getTime();
if (step > endTime)
document.body.scrollTop = endValue;
else
setTimeout(animate, 15);
}
yourButton.onclick = function() {
startValue = document.body.scrollTop;
distance = endValue - startValue;
velocity = distance / duration;
step = new Date().getTime();
endTime = step + duration;
animate();
};
Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/pXvQG/12/, animate by scrolling down and click the body.
