Answer 1

Try like this:

$(".gototop").click(function(){
    var focusElement = $("#contents");
    $(focusElement).focus();
    ScrollToTop(focusElement);
});

function ScrollToTop(el) {
    $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $(el).offset().top - 50 }, 'slow');          
}

Just use <a href="#">Your link</a>. It will take you to the top of the page.
