I have a list of questions. When I click on the first question, it should automatically take me to a specific element at the bottom of the page.
How can I do this with jQuery?
jQuery isn't necessary. Most of the top results I got from a Google search gave me this answer:
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
Where you have nested elements, the document might not scroll. In this case, you need to target the element that scrolls and use its scroll height instead.
nestedElement.scrollTo(0, nestedElement.scrollHeight);
Some additional sources you can take a look at:
element.scrollTop = element.scrollHeight
. –
Pastille objectSelector.scrollTo({ top: objectSelector.scrollHeight })
. Understanding that objectSelector
is the element returned by document.getElementById
. PD: adding behavior: 'smooth'
in the scrollTo
method options set up a predefined scrolling animation. –
Derrek window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight); // didn't work
window.scrollTo({top:document.body.scrollHeight}); // work and did the trick
–
Gosplan To scroll entire page to the bottom:
const scrollingElement = (document.scrollingElement || document.body);
scrollingElement.scrollTop = scrollingElement.scrollHeight;
You can view the demo here
To scroll a specific element to the bottom:
const scrollToBottom = (id) => {
const element = document.getElementById(id);
element.scrollTop = element.scrollHeight;
}
Here is the demo
And here's how it works:
Ref: scrollTop, scrollHeight, clientHeight
UPDATE: Latest versions of Chrome (61+) and Firefox does not support scrolling of body, see: https://dev.opera.com/articles/fixing-the-scrolltop-bug/
Vanilla JS implementation:
element.scrollIntoView(false);
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/element.scrollIntoView
element.scrollIntoView({behavior: "smooth"});
–
Acceptable {behavior: "smooth"}
isn't very well supported as of 2019 but that's a good and native answer. caniuse.com/#feat=scrollintoview –
Westmoreland element.scrollTop = element.scrollHeight - element.clientHeight
answer not needing that? –
Understudy element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth', block: 'end' })
–
Buckskin You can use this to go down the page in an animation format.
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: document.body.scrollHeight},"fast");
one liner to smooth scroll to the bottom
window.scrollTo({ left: 0, top: document.body.scrollHeight, behavior: "smooth" });
To scroll up simply set top
to 0
Below should be the cross browser solution. It has been tested on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE11
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight || document.documentElement.scrollHeight);
window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight); doesn't work on Firefox, at least for Firefox 37.0.2
An interesting CSS-only alternative:
display: flex;
flex-direction: column-reverse;
/* ...probably usually along with: */
overflow-y: scroll; /* or hidden or auto */
height: 100px; /* or whatever */
It's not bullet-proof but I've found it helpful in several situations.
Documentation: flex
, flex-direction
, overflow-y
var i=0, foo='Lorem Ipsum & foo in bar or blah ! on and'.split(' ');
setInterval(function(){demo.innerHTML+=foo[i++%foo.length]+' '},200)
#demo{ display:flex;
flex-direction:column-reverse;
overflow-y:scroll;
width:150px;
height:150px;
border:3px solid black; }
body{ font-family:arial,sans-serif;
font-size:15px; }
Autoscrolling demo:🐾
<div id='demo'></div>
Sometimes the page extends on scroll to buttom (for example in social networks), to scroll down to the end (ultimate buttom of the page) I use this script:
var scrollInterval = setInterval(function() {
document.documentElement.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollHeight;
}, 50);
And if you are in browser's javascript console, it might be useful to be able to stop the scrolling, so add:
var stopScroll = function() { clearInterval(scrollInterval); };
And then use stopScroll();
.
If you need to scroll to particular element, use:
var element = document.querySelector(".element-selector");
element.scrollIntoView();
Or universal script for autoscrolling to specific element (or stop page scrolling interval):
var notChangedStepsCount = 0;
var scrollInterval = setInterval(function() {
var element = document.querySelector(".element-selector");
if (element) {
// element found
clearInterval(scrollInterval);
element.scrollIntoView();
} else if((document.documentElement.scrollTop + window.innerHeight) != document.documentElement.scrollHeight) {
// no element -> scrolling
notChangedStepsCount = 0;
document.documentElement.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollHeight;
} else if (notChangedStepsCount > 20) {
// no more space to scroll
clearInterval(scrollInterval);
} else {
// waiting for possible extension (autoload) of the page
notChangedStepsCount++;
}
}, 50);
you can do this too with animation, its very simple
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $('footer').offset().top
//scrollTop: $('#your-id').offset().top
//scrollTop: $('.your-class').offset().top
}, 'slow');
hope helps, thank you
You can use this function wherever you need to call it:
function scroll_to(div){
if (div.scrollTop < div.scrollHeight - div.clientHeight)
div.scrollTop += 10; // move down
}
document.getElementById('copyright').scrollTop += 10
doesn't work (in latest Chrome)... remains zero... –
Fetal So many answers trying to calculate the height of the document. But it wasn't calculating correctly for me. However, both of these worked:
jquery
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: 9999});
or just js
window.scrollTo(0,9999);
9999

Clabo <script>
function scrollToBottom() {
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
}
history.scrollRestoration = "manual";
window.onload = scrollToBottom;
</script>
Browsers such as Chrome have a built-in preset to remember where you were on the page, after refreshing. Just a window.onload
doesn't work because your browser will automatically scroll you back to where you were before refreshing, AFTER you call a line such as:
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
That's why we need to add:
history.scrollRestoration = "manual";
before the window.onload
to disable that built-in feature first.
Documentation for
window.onload
: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/GlobalEventHandlers/onload
Documentation for
window.scrollTo
: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/scrollTo
Documentation for
history.scrollRestoration
: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History/scrollRestoration
A simple way if you want to scroll down to a specific element.
Call this function whenever you want to scroll down.
function scrollDown() {
document.getElementById('scroll').scrollTop = document.getElementById('scroll').scrollHeight
}
ul{
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
overflow-y: scroll;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
<ul id='scroll'>
<li>Top Here</li>
<li>Something Here</li>
<li>Something Here</li>
<li>Something Here</li>
<li>Something Here</li>
<li>Something Here</li>
<li>Something Here</li>
<li>Something Here</li>
<li>Something Here</li>
<li>Something Here</li>
<li>Bottom Here</li>
<li style="color: red">Bottom Here</li>
</ul>
<br />
<button onclick='scrollDown()'>Scroll Down</button>
scroll
element. –
Clabo You can attach any id
to reference attribute href
of link element:
<a href="#myLink" id="myLink">
Click me
</a>
In the example above when user clicks Click me
at the bottom of page, navigation navigates to Click me
itself.
You may try Gentle Anchors a nice javascript plugin.
Example:
function SomeFunction() {
// your code
// Pass an id attribute to scroll to. The # is required
Gentle_Anchors.Setup('#destination');
// maybe some more code
}
Compatibility Tested on:
Late to the party, but here's some simple javascript-only code to scroll any element to the bottom:
function scrollToBottom(e) {
e.scrollTop = e.scrollHeight - e.getBoundingClientRect().height;
}
For Scroll down in Selenium use below code:
Till the bottom drop down, scroll till the height of the page. Use the below javascript code that would work fine in both, JavaScript and React.
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor) driver; // (driver is your browser webdriver object)
jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,document.body.scrollHeight || document.documentElement.scrollHeight)", "");
Here's my solution:
//**** scroll to bottom if at bottom
function scrollbottom() {
if (typeof(scr1)!='undefined') clearTimeout(scr1)
var scrollTop = (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop) || document.body.scrollTop;
var scrollHeight = (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollHeight) || document.body.scrollHeight;
if((scrollTop + window.innerHeight) >= scrollHeight-50) window.scrollTo(0,scrollHeight+50)
scr1=setTimeout(function(){scrollbottom()},200)
}
scr1=setTimeout(function(){scrollbottom()},200)
Here's a fairly modern react/typescript-ish utility I am using:
export const scrollToBottom = () => {
// Assume a react re-render may need to happen first
setTimeout(() => {
requestAnimationFrame(() => {
window.scrollTo({
top: document.documentElement.scrollHeight - window.innerHeight,
left: 0,
behavior: 'smooth',
})
})
}, 3)
}
See browser support on smooth scrolling here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/scrollTo#browser_compatibility
This could probably be turned into a hook:
export const useScrollToBottomWhen = (condition: boolean) => {
useEffect(() => {
if (condition) {
window.scrollTo({
top: document.documentElement.scrollHeight - window.innerHeight,
left: 0,
behavior: 'smooth',
})
}
}, [condition]);
}
I have an Angular app with dynamic content and I tried several of the above answers with not much success. I adapted @Konard's answer and got it working in plain JS for my scenario:
HTML
<div id="app">
<button onClick="scrollToBottom()">Scroll to Bottom</button>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<br>
<h4>Details for Customer 1</h4>
<hr>
<!-- sequence Id -->
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="ID">
</div>
<!-- name -->
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Name">
</div>
<!-- description -->
<div class="form-group">
<textarea type="text" style="min-height: 100px" placeholder="Description" ></textarea>
</div>
<!-- address -->
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Address">
</div>
<!-- postcode -->
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Postcode">
</div>
<!-- Image -->
<div class="form-group">

<div class="custom-file mt-3">

</div>
</div>

</div>
CSS
body {
background: #20262E;
padding: 20px;
font-family: Helvetica;
}
#app {
background: #fff;
border-radius: 4px;
padding: 20px;
transition: all 0.2s;
}
JS
function scrollToBottom() {
scrollInterval;
stopScroll;
var scrollInterval = setInterval(function () {
document.documentElement.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollHeight;
}, 50);
var stopScroll = setInterval(function () {
clearInterval(scrollInterval);
}, 100);
}
Tested on the latest Chrome, FF, Edge, and stock Android browser. Here's a fiddle:
I found a trick to make it happen.
Put an input type text at the bottom of the page and call a jquery focus on it whenever you need to go at the bottom.
Make it readonly and nice css to clear border and background.
I gave up with scrollto but instead tried anchor approach:
<a href="#target_id_at_bottom">scroll to the bottom</a>
Along with this CSS charm:
html,
body {
scroll-behavior: smooth;
}
Have a nice day!
If there is an ID in any kind of tag at or nearby where you want to scroll to, then all it takes is one line of JavaScript making use of the scrollIntoView function. For example, let's say your element in question is a DIV with the ID "mydiv1"
<div id="mydiv1">[your contents]</div>
then you would run the JavaScript command
document.getElementById("mydiv1").scrollIntoView();
No JQuery is necessary at all. Hope this helps.
using reac.js here is the working code
//auto scroll to the bottom
useEffect(()=>{
const chatHolder = document.getElementById('chats-wrapper')
if(chatHolder) {
chatHolder.scrollIntoView({behavior: "smooth"})
}
},[chats])
window.scrollTo(0,1e10);
always works.
1e10 is a big number. so its always the end of the page.
If any one searching for Angular
you just need to scroll down add this to your div
#scrollMe [scrollTop]="scrollMe.scrollHeight"
<div class="my-list" #scrollMe [scrollTop]="scrollMe.scrollHeight">
</div>
This will guaranteed scroll to the bottom
Head Codes
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.1.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function scrollToBottom() {
$('#html, body').scrollTop($('#html, body')[0].scrollHeight);
}
</script>
Body code
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onmouseover="scrollToBottom();" title="Scroll to Bottom">▼ Bottom ▼</a>
I've had the same issue. For me at one point in time the div's elements were not loaded entirely and the scrollTop property was initialized with the current value of scrollHeight, which was not the correct end value of scrollHeight.
My project is in Angular 8 and what I did was:
The AfterViewChecked event fires a few times and it gets in the end the proper value from scrollHeight.
We can use ref and by getElementById for scrolling specific modal or page .
const scrollToBottomModel = () => {
const scrollingElement = document.getElementById("post-chat");
scrollingElement.scrollTop = scrollingElement.scrollHeight;
};
In the modal body you can call above function
<Modal.Body
className="show-grid"
scrollable={true}
style={{
maxHeight: "calc(100vh - 210px)",
overflowY: "auto",
height: "590px",
}}
ref={input => scrollToBottomModel()}
id="post-chat"
>
will work this
A simple example with jquery
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(this).height(),
});
A picture is worth a thousand words:
The key is:
document.documentElement.scrollTo({
left: 0,
top: document.documentElement.scrollHeight - document.documentElement.clientHeight,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
It is using document.documentElement
, which is the <html>
element. It is just like using window
, but it is just my personal preference to do it this way, because if it is not the whole page but a container, it works just like this except you'd change document.body
and document.documentElement
to document.querySelector("#container-id")
.
let cLines = 0;
let timerID = setInterval(function() {
let elSomeContent = document.createElement("div");
if (++cLines > 33) {
clearInterval(timerID);
elSomeContent.innerText = "That's all folks!";
} else {
elSomeContent.innerText = new Date().toLocaleDateString("en", {
dateStyle: "long",
timeStyle: "medium"
});
}
document.body.appendChild(elSomeContent);
document.documentElement.scrollTo({
left: 0,
top: document.documentElement.scrollHeight - document.documentElement.clientHeight,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
}, 1000);
body {
font: 27px Arial, sans-serif;
background: #ffc;
color: #333;
}
You can compare the difference if there is no scrollTo()
:
let cLines = 0;
let timerID = setInterval(function() {
let elSomeContent = document.createElement("div");
if (++cLines > 33) {
clearInterval(timerID);
elSomeContent.innerText = "That's all folks!";
} else {
elSomeContent.innerText = new Date().toLocaleDateString("en", {
dateStyle: "long",
timeStyle: "medium"
});
}
document.body.appendChild(elSomeContent);
}, 1000);
body {
font: 27px Arial, sans-serif;
background: #ffc;
color: #333;
}
Maybe there is "autofocus" somewhere in your code
