Get and set scroll position of the document using JavaScript

To get the scroll position of the document, you can use the pageXOffset, pageYOffset properties of the window object or the scrollLeft and scrollTop properties of the documentElement object.

Here is an example:

const x = window.pageXOffset || document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
const y = scrollTop = window.pageYOffset || document.documentElement.scrollTop;

To reset the scroll position of the document, just update the documentElement and body's scrollLeft and scrollTop properties:

document.documentElement.scrollTop = document.body.scrollTop = 250;
document.documentElement.scrollLeft = document.body.scrollLeft = 300;
