Consider the following JavaScript code:
//Scroll Down button
$(window).scroll(function () {
if ($(this).scrollDown() > 100) {
$('.containerScroll').fadeIn('slow');
} else {
$('.containerScroll').fadeOut('slow');
}
});
$('.containerScroll').click(function () {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: 0
}, 1500, 'easeInOutExpo');
return false;
});
This script is responsible for animating a back-to-top button where clicking it scrolls the user back to the homepage with a smooth transition. What if we want the button to take the user to a specific page instead of just the homepage? How can we modify the code to achieve this functionality?
In the accompanying HTML file, the link is set up as follows:
<a href="#about" class="containerScroll">
<div class="first-scroll"></div>
<div class="second-scroll"></div>
</a>
The current setup directs the user to the about section when the button is clicked. If you want the button to navigate to a different page on the website other than the homepage, what changes need to be made in the JavaScript code? Let's brainstorm some solutions.
