The scrollingElement
read-only property of the
Document
interface returns a reference to the Element
that
scrolls the document. In standards mode, this is the root element of the
document, document.documentElement
.
When in quirks mode, the scrollingElement
attribute returns the HTML
body
element if it exists and is potentially
scrollable, otherwise it returns null.
Syntax
var element = document.scrollingElement;
Example
var scrollElm = document.scrollingElement;
scrollElm.scrollTop = 0;
