How to Use

Insert the HTML button near the end of body, load the CSS, and include JavaScript using defer. Test scrolling, returning to the top, and positioning on mobile.

Technical Notes

Keep controls usable on touch devices. Test keyboard focus and reduced-motion preferences.

Mobile：Works with tap and keyboard. Check the lower-right offset against other fixed controls.

Browser：Uses standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Install all three together; no external library is required.

Reduced Motion：Reduces transitions and smooth scrolling when reduced motion is requested.
