Adding a sticky scroll-to-top button to your website adds further ease of navigation to your website by allowing a user to scroll to the top of any given web page with the click of a button.

Below is the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript required to add this functionality to your website.

Step 1 - Add the HTML below to your web page

<div class="container" style="height: 1500px; width: 100%;">
  <!-- Static navbar -->
  <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
    <div class="container-fluid">
      <div class="navbar-header">
        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="navbar">
          <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        </button>
        <a class="navbar-brand" href="/">
        <img src="https://www.solodev.com/assets/email/logo.png" alt="Logo Solodev">
      </a>
    </div>
    <div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
        <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
        <li class="dropdown">
          <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown <span class="caret"></span></a>
          <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
            <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
            <li class="dropdown-header">Nav header</li>
            <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">One more separated link</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
      </ul>
    </div>
    <!--/.nav-collapse -->
  </div>
  <!--/.container-fluid -->
</nav>
<!-- Main component for a primary marketing message or call to action -->
<div class="jumbotron">
  <h1>Scroll Down</h1>
  <p>This example is a quick exercise to illustrate how a sticky scroll to top button works. It includes responsive CSS and HTML, so it also adapts to your viewport and device.</p>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /container -->
<button class="btn btn-primary scroll-top" data-scroll="up" type="button">
<i class="fa fa-chevron-up"></i>
</button>

Step 2 - Add the CSS below to the main stylesheet of your website

.scroll-top {
  width: 75px;
  height: 75px;
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 25px;
  left: 20px;
  display: none;
}
.scroll-top i {
  display: inline-block;
  color: #fff;
}
.navbar-brand>img {
  padding-top: 11px;
  width: 130px;
  margin-left: 60px;
}
.navbar-brand {
  height: auto;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  margin-right: 20px;
}
.navbar {
  background-color: #000;
}
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a {
  padding: 8px 19px 9px !important;
}
.navbar-nav > li.active {
  padding: 8px 0 9px 0;
}
.navbar-right {
  padding-top: 0;
}
.navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a::after {
  background-color: transparent;
  border-bottom: 3px solid #d2282e;
}
.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li {
  display: inline-block;
  text-align: center;
  float: none;
}
.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a {
  color: #fff;
}
.navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a:hover {
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #0392CC;
}

Step 3 - Add the code below to a file called scroll.js

$(document).ready(function () {
  $(window).scroll(function () {
    if ($(this).scrollTop() > 100) {
      $('.scroll-top').fadeIn();
    } else {
      $('.scroll-top').fadeOut();
    }
  });

  $('.scroll-top').click(function () {
    $("html, body").animate({
      scrollTop: 0
    }, 100);
      return false;
  });

});

Step 4 - Add the includes below to the pages where your button lives

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.6.3/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="scroll.js"></script>
