Ah so the scroll-behavior: smooth css on the html tag makes the bowser a bit smarter and prevents a refresh! I was just playing with it in codepen and it works with ids on the page too!

Very clever and useful - thanks! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ

same thing that came to mind; using the id on the page too.

Not accessible for keyboard and screen-reader users, because the focus is not going at the top of the page, with the scroll, and the link hasn't a label that can be rendered by screen-reader to indicate the purpose of the link.

You can take a look at my fork if you want to see some fixes of these issues : codepen.io/Kain314/pen/ExQLLJd

It's not a matter of being afraid of JavaScript. It's using the languages within their domain of action. A redirection is part of the HTML (an anchor), and the scrolling animation is UI (so CSS). Why add JavaScript to do something that shouldn't be handled by JavaScript?

Exactly ๐Ÿ˜โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿคญ

Sometimes we have consider time also when working on a project ๐Ÿ˜Œ.

In my case I have used jQuery because it has its own ready functions ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

Hey. I am new. There is also this scroll behaviour using JavaScript, where once you click on a link to another page on the same site, scrolling starts from last position of the previous page to the top. I don't know if anyone understands this. I just want to know what feature that is.

Simple yet awesome ๐Ÿ‘. However, shouldn't the icon/buttonโฌ†๏ธ appear when the reader scroll to a portion down before showing rather than it being sticky on the post โ‰๏ธ

Yes Nana, In this post my main goal is to make a simple "scroll to top" working button in next posts I will try to add that hide show feature also.

Thanks for your priceless time, I appreciate it :)
