Scroll back to the top of scrollable div
I tried the existing answers to this question, and none of them worked on Chrome for me. What did work was slightly different:
$('body, html, #containerDiv').scrollTop(0);
var myDiv = document.getElementById('containerDiv');
myDiv.innerHTML = variableLongText;
myDiv.scrollTop = 0;
See the scrollTop
attribute.
Another way to do it with a smooth animation is like this
$("#containerDiv").animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, "fast");
