jQuery animate scrollTop not working in IE 7

Question

The following works in Chrome / FF etc...

$('body').animate({scrollTop : 0}, 0);

However, in IE 7, it doesn't do anything.
Is there an alternative?

Answer 1

EDIT As pointed out by many, it is better to use:

$('body, html').animate({scrollTop : 0}, 0);

Answer 2

$('body, html').animate({scrollTop : 0}, 0);

Answer 3

in IE8， i use $(document).scrollTop() to get the scrollTop property, $('body').scrollTop() or $('html').scrollTop() will always return 0.

Maybe you can use

$(document).animate({scrollTop: 0}, 0);
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: 0}, 0);

to make it works on all browser.
