To add a "return to top" function to the pagination buttons in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the pagination buttons: Locate the CSS class or ID applied to the pagination buttons in your Webflow project. You can inspect the element using your browser's developer tools or refer to the Webflow Designer.

  2. Assign an ID to the pagination container: If the pagination buttons are wrapped inside a container, assign a unique ID to this container in order to target it later in the JavaScript code. You can do this by selecting the container element in the Webflow Designer, going to the "Settings" panel on the right-hand side, and entering the ID in the "ID" field.

  3. Add a custom code embed: Open the Webflow Designer, navigate to the page where you want to add the "return to top" functionality, and add a custom code embed element either at the top or bottom of the page. The custom code embed element can be found in the "Add" panel on the left-hand side.

  4. Write the JavaScript code: Inside the custom code embed element, you'll need to define a JavaScript function that scrolls the page back to the top when called. Here's an example code snippet you can use:

<script>function returnToTop() {  window.scrollTo({    top: 0,    behavior: "smooth"  });}document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {  var paginationContainer = document.getElementById('your-pagination-container-id');  var paginationButtons = paginationContainer.getElementsByClassName('your-pagination-button-class');  for (var i = 0; i < paginationButtons.length; i++) {    paginationButtons[i].addEventListener('click', returnToTop);  }});</script>

Replace 'your-pagination-container-id' with the actual ID you assigned to the pagination container in step 2, and 'your-pagination-button-class' with the CSS class or selector applied to the pagination buttons.

  1. Save and publish: Once you've added the custom code embed element and inserted the JavaScript code, save your changes and publish your Webflow project to see the "return to top" functionality in action.

By following these steps, you can easily add a "return to top" function to the pagination buttons on your Webflow website, allowing users to quickly navigate back to the top of the page.
