Is there a way to put a "Return to Top of Page" command at the bottom of each page? I am not anxious to bookmark to a specific item at the top of each page. Thanks, David Web Rookie

I usually use the logo or some other piece of the page near the top... then link to that anchor point. You could also try this: <a href="">Back to Top</a> That should reload the page... but it may take you right back to the bottom when it does. _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

I'll just have to get creative with my bookmark anchor point. Appreciate it, David (in reply to bobby)

Even add a 1x1 px clear gif image at the top and use that for your anchor point..? _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

It does the same thing essentially, but won't require the include bot. (Won't be recognize as a valid anchor target because it's technically not a page element...) Did you try adding the anchor tag to the word Logo on the include page itself? _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

I guess it essentially restarts the page at the top. Seems to work well and is very simple. Bob B. (in reply to 7000in5th)

Doesn't require a bookmark. <a href="#">Top</a> _____________________________ Hope I have been of some help, Micheal [URL=http://web.archive.org/web/20060101013129/http://www.frontpageforms.com/]FrontPageForms.com-Archive Version[/URL] I am living Proof that Viral Procrastination exists!

7000in5th Posts: 43 Joined: 10/10/2004 Status: offline	RE: How do I create "Return to Top of Page" - 10/29/2004 14:56:09 Thanks very much to all of you that suggested solutions to my search for a simple way to put a "Return to Top of Page" on my dozens of web pages. Below is a summary of the results that I got: bobby suggested: <a href="">Back to Top</a> Result: Surprisingly, this one returned me to my Home page, not to the page it is on. An excellent answer to the question I hadn't yet asked, but very useful, none-the-less. Unless someone has a reason not to, I intend to use it on all my pages to "Return Home". bobburk suggested: ".....add the words "Top Of Page" and link the words to the page address." Result: Worked fine but does require typing the address for each different page. AMysticWeb suggested: "I use this or something similar in a bottom shared border. Doesn't require a bookmark. <a href="#">Top</a> Result: It worked and requires no special typing on every page. I am not sure what a bottom shared border is and assume my test page does not have one. Charles W Davis suggested: "This is just a slight variant: <A HREF="#top">Top</A> Result: It also worked and requires no special typing on every page. dave (David Prescott) warned: "it's better to use a bookmark if you want it to work everywhere..." Question: Where will the latter two above not work? Click here to see my test page. Any other comments? David (in reply to bobby)

they don't work with just # in opera 7.54

use this as the link target near/at the top of the page

<a name="top"></a>

then use this in your link

<p><a href="#top">top</a></p>

Interesting... I've never had it do that to me before... I always use this as my home page link: <a href="/">Home</a> Which works quite well... typically the empty href will link right back to the page it's on... unless I just haven't been paying attention... _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
