Tutorial: jQuery scroll-to-top plugin

Sometimes it is a hassle to scroll to the top of a page if the page is too long and it would be a lot easier if there's a simpler way to do it. Lucky for us, there is indeed a solution. We'll be using jQuery plugin for it. This plugin was developed by Matt Varone, which in turn, was inspired from David Walsh's scroll-to-top plugin.
Here's how to do it:
Step 1
Insert these files into your blog template before the <head> tag:
http://myjqueryhosting.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js
http://myjqueryhosting.googlecode.com/files/easing.js
http://myjqueryhosting.googlecode.com/files/jquery.ui.totop.js
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://myjqueryhosting.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://myjqueryhosting.googlecode.com/files/easing.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://myjqueryhosting.googlecode.com/files/jquery.ui.totop.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Step 2
Add this piece of code under the above in Step 1:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
/*
var defaults = {
containerID: 'moccaUItoTop', // fading element id
containerHoverClass: 'moccaUIhover', // fading element hover class
scrollSpeed: 1200,
easingType: 'linear'
};
*/
$().UItoTop({ easingType: 'easeOutQuart' });
});
</script>
Step 3
We need to style the scroll button, so add these codes into the stylesheet section:
#toTop {display:none;text-decoration:none;position:fixed;bottom:10px;right:10px;overflow:hidden; width:51px;height:51px;border:none;text-indent:-999px;background:url(http://i44.tinypic.com/2zznedd.jpg) no-repeat left top;}
#toTopHover {background:url(http://i44.tinypic.com/2zznedd.jpg) no-repeat left -51px;width:51px;height:51px;display:block;overflow:hidden;float:left;opacity: 0;-moz-opacity: 0;filter:alpha(opacity=0);}
#toTop:active, #toTop:focus {outline:none;}
Save your file and test it. Just remember though, if you are using another jQuery plugin on your blog, this plugin may come in conflict with that plugin and results in one of them to stop working.
The fallback method
If in case the plugin does not work for whatever reasons, you can use this method instead:
Add this simple Javascript code where you want it to appear (preferably at the bottom of the page):
<a href="javascript:scroll(0,0)">To the top</a>
The difference is that, the scroll effect is not smooth as the scrolling effect using jQuery. Rather, this scroll effect is more of a 'jumping' to the top of the page.Labels: JavaScript, jQuery, tutorial
