How to scroll browser view port to top of page after an ajax submit?

jquery

Solution

You can use the scroll method on the window object to do this:

window.scroll(0,0)

The arguments are the horizontal and vertical measure of scrolling within the window, so 0,0 brings it back to the top.

Problem

I have an upload form -- after the user submits the form, I'd like to scroll the window back to the top of the page (where I display some help text). How do I correctly scroll the window back to the top of the page?
