If you have a sidebar messenger on your website and you want to allow users to return to the same page position after closing the messenger, you can use JavaScript to store the current scroll position and then restore it when the messenger is reopened. Here are the steps:
Add an event listener to the "close" button of your sidebar messenger to detect when it is closed.
Use JavaScript to store the current scroll position when the "close" button is clicked. You can do this by setting a variable to the current scroll position using the window.pageYOffset property.
javascript
Copy code
var scrollPosition = window.pageYOffset;
Use JavaScript to store the scroll position in a cookie or local storage. For example, you can use the localStorage.setItem() method to store the scroll position.
javascript
Copy code
localStorage.setItem('scrollPosition', scrollPosition);
Add an event listener to the "open" button of your sidebar messenger to detect when it is reopened.
Use JavaScript to retrieve the stored scroll position from the cookie or local storage.
javascript
Copy code
var scrollPosition = localStorage.getItem('scrollPosition');
Use JavaScript to set the scroll position to the stored value. You can do this by setting the window.pageYOffset property to the stored value.
javascript
Copy code
window.pageYOffset = scrollPosition;
By using these steps, users will be able to return to the same page position after closing and reopening the sidebar messenger on your website.
