To add a "scroll-to-top" option using Swup.js in your Webflow project, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install Swup.js: Start by downloading the Swup.js library from the official website or from a CDN. Create a new JavaScript file in your Webflow project and add the Swup.js code to it. Upload the JavaScript file to your project's Assets and link it on your pages.

  2. Create a Custom Code Block: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the page where you want to add the "scroll-to-top" option. Insert a Custom Code Block by selecting the desired element and clicking on the "+" icon in the top-right of the element panel.

  3. Add HTML Markup: Inside the Custom Code Block, you'll need to add the HTML markup for the "scroll-to-top" button. You can use the following example:

<a href="#" class="scroll-to-top"></a>
  1. Style the Scroll-to-Top Button: Open the Styles Panel and add a new class to the "scroll-to-top" button element. You can customize the appearance of the button using the options available in the Styles Panel.

  2. Implement Swup.js Code: To make the "scroll-to-top" button work, you need to implement the Swup.js code that handles scrolling. Inside your custom JavaScript file, add the following code:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {  var scrollToTopButton = document.querySelector(".scroll-to-top");  if (scrollToTopButton) {    scrollToTopButton.addEventListener("click", function(event) {      event.preventDefault();      document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;      document.body.scrollTop = 0;    });  }});
  1. Publish and Test: After completing the steps above, publish your Webflow project and test the "scroll-to-top" button on your live website. When you click on the button, it should smoothly scroll back to the top of the page.

By following these steps, you can easily add a "scroll-to-top" option using Swup.js in your Webflow project.
