body.scrollTop is deprecated?

Question

I am using jQuery version 1.7.2

I found these lines in Google Chrome Developer Tools:

body.scrollTop is deprecated in strict mode. Please use 'documentElement.scrollTop' if in strict mode and 'body.scrollTop' only if in quirks mode. jquery-1.7.2.min.js:4
body.scrollLeft is deprecated in strict mode. Please use 'documentElement.scrollLeft' if in strict mode and 'body.scrollLeft' only if in quirks mode. jquery-1.7.2.min.js:4
event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead. jquery-1.7.2.min.js:3

Is that an error or is it normal? Does it affect my website?

The problem you are facing is general one for chrome.....it uses body.scrollTop to represent the view-port's scroll position in standards mode.

Possible reason i can think of is that the makers of chrome want the developers to switch to more formal or universal style of coding....as for other browsers like Mozilla, I don't think your problem would be there (have you checked in other browsers too !!? looks fine on my mozilla.

Chrome wants to match the HTML spec and other browsers' behavior. http://stackoverflow.com/a/20060513/822138 – sam Jan 24 '14 at 23:10

No it is not a problem. It is just a suggestion. Although it is a best practice to use the latest version of jQuery. So in my opinion you should update to the latest version.
