Embed Scroll to Element Button on Joomla

01

Create a Scroll to Element Button extension for Joomla on Common Ninja

First, create a Joomla Scroll to Element Button extension on Common Ninja. On the extensions catalog, find the Scroll to Element Button and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Scroll to Element Button extension

When you're done creating the Scroll to Element Button extension, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Scroll to Element Button Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Scroll to Element Button extension to your Joomla website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the extension embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Joomla website.

04

Paste the code to your Joomla website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Joomla website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Joomla’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Scroll to Element Button Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Scroll to Element Button extension on your Joomla website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Scroll to Element Button extension on your Joomla extension. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Joomla website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Scroll to Element Button extension to your Joomla website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Joomla website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Scroll to Element Button widget when you want to guide visitors directly to an important section without forcing them to hunt for it. Instead of saying “see details below” and hoping people find the right spot, you place a button that scrolls smoothly to a specific block like pricing, features, FAQ, or a form. This creates a clear path from interest to action and keeps attention inside your designed flow. It is especially useful on landing pages, long sales pages, and documentation where critical information lives deeper down. By linking buttons to key sections, you remove ambiguity, highlight priorities, and make the experience feel more intentional and polished.
