Scroll back to the top of scrollable div

Question

#containerDiv          


        

Answer 1

The ID Should have the id of the corresponding div that has the overflow css property.

document.querySelector('#YOUR_OVERFLOWED_DIV').scrollTop = 0;

Answer 2

Another way to do it with a smooth animation is like this

$("#containerDiv").animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, "fast");

Answer 3

For those who still can't make this work, make sure that the overflowed element is displayed before using the jQuery function.

Exemple:

$('#elem').show();
$('#elem').scrollTop(0);
