How we can create a scroll down navigation using CSS and JavaScript? Solution: Check out this CSS Scroll Down Arrow Animation With JavaScript.

Previously I have shared a Scroll To Top program using JavaScript, but this is a scroll down navigation. Nowadays many websites place a button on the header section to indicate scroll down, When we click the button then the page will scroll to main content automatically. This is a very common feature of the modern website.

Today you will learn to create Scrolling Navigation Button for a skip to main content. Basically, there is an arrow down button which is animate continuously to user attention, after clicking on button its scroll down to content on the website. And when it’s scrolling down then the arrow button disappears slowly.

So, Today I am sharing CSS Scroll Down Arrow Animation With JavaScript. There is a header section, a button, and some dummy texts. At start you will see the header section and a button in the bottom of the header, after clicking on that you will scroll down to texts. And also there is a smooth scrolling feature on scrolling down.

If you are thinking now how this scroll down arrow navigation actually is, then see the preview given below.

Live Demo

Now you can see this visually, you also can see it live by pressing the button given above. If you like this, then get the source code of its.

CSS Scroll Down Arrow Animation With JavaScript Source Code

Before sharing source code, let’s talk about it. First I have created a header section using HTML <header> tag, and place some text inside it. After that, I have created an arrow down button and some dummy text using Lorem Ipsum Generator (visit). And also in the HTML file, I have linked other files like a library, font, etc.

Now using CSS I have placed all the elements on the right place. For creating the down arrow icon put one side border color and others are transparent and rotated it by 360 degrees. Also, create a circle outside the button for better design, using CSS @keyframe the down arrow button animate up and down continuously.

I have used the jQuery library to create the program easily. Two functions are done using jQuery, first is scroll down and other is smooth scrolling. The scroll down feature also based on scroll to top function but I have modified the value of the main window. Left all the things you will understand after getting that codes, I can’t explain all in writing.

For creating this program you have to create 3 files. First for HTML, second for CSS and third for JavaScript. Follow the steps to creating this without any error.

index.html

Create an HTML file named ‘index.html‘ and put these codes given here below.
