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.

Use Case

Laboratories, research and technology sites.

Technical Notes

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

Mobile:Check tap target, visibility and positioning on small screens.

Browser:Designed for current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

Reduced Motion:CSS animations respect the reduced-motion preference.
