jQuery scrollTop() doesn’t seem to work in Safari or Chrome (Windows)

by

I was having this problem in Safari and Chrome (Mac) and discovered that .scrollTop would work on $("body") but not $("html, body"), FF and IE however works the other way round. A simple browser detect fixes the issue:

if($.browser.safari)
    bodyelem = $("body")
else
    bodyelem = $("html,body")

bodyelem.scrollTop(100)

The jQuery browser value for Chrome is Safari, so you only need to do a detect on that.

Hope this helps someone.
