Suggestion for "How TO - Scroll Back To Top Button" page

Ludivine · December 10, 2020

Hi,
This suggestion is about this article

I think it's important to encourage people to use more HTML options over js ! It's more lightweight and use less"resources", isn't it ?

So I took the example and just change "<button>" into a "<a>" with href to "top" and added id="top" to the first, maybe we can recommend to use an already existing id, the one of the header for example

And after some research I saw that using an "<a>" to go to the top is write as a tip in this article

What do you think ?
Have a nice day

<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

  font-size: 20px;
}

#myBtn {
  display: none;
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 20px;
  right: 30px;
  z-index: 99;
  font-size: 18px;

#myBtn:hover {
  background-color: #555;
}
</style>

<body>

<div id="top" style="background-color:black;color:white;padding:30px">Scroll Down</div>
<div style="background-color:lightgrey;padding:30px 30px 2500px">This example demonstrates how to create a "scroll to top" button that becomes visible
  <strong>when the user starts to scroll the page</strong>.</div>
<a href="#top" id="myBtn" title="Go to top">Top</a>

<script>
//Get the button
var mybutton = document.getElementById("myBtn");

// When the user scrolls down 20px from the top of the document, show the button
window.onscroll = function() {scrollFunction()};

function scrollFunction() {
  if (document.body.scrollTop > 20 || document.documentElement.scrollTop > 20) {
    mybutton.style.display = "block";
  } else {
    mybutton.style.display = "none";
  }
}
</script>

</body>
</html>
