Learn how to create a smooth page scroll animation with JavaScript, plus a code example to get you started.
Scrolling JavaScript Pages
Scrolling pages with JavaScript can be done with a few lines of code. In this example, we will use a few different methods to scroll the page.
Window.ScrollTo() Method
The
window.scrollTo() method can be used to scroll the page to a particular set of coordinates on the page. For example, to scroll the page 700 pixels from the top of the page, you can use the following code:
window.scrollTo(0, 700);
Window.ScrollBy() Method
The
window.scrollBy() method can be used to scroll the page by a specified number of pixels. This is different from the
window.scrollTo() method as it allows you to scroll the page relative to its current position. For example, to scroll the page down by 300 pixels, you can use the following code:
window.scrollBy(0, 300);
Element.ScrollIntoView() Method
The
element.scrollIntoView() method can be used to scroll the page to a particular element. This is useful if you want to scroll the page to an element that is not at the top or bottom of the page. For example, to scroll the page to an element with an ID of "myElement", you can use the following code:
document.getElementById("myElement").scrollIntoView();
These are just a few methods for scrolling pages with JavaScript. There are many more methods available for scrolling pages and for manipulating the page's scroll position. With some simple JavaScript code, you can easily control how the page is scrolled and create custom scrolling effects.
