How To Create Jump Link Top Of Page
Aug 10th 2009Claire PoultonCSS & HTML
I always hated that code <a name="top"></a> under the body tag. So here’s a better solution
- Reference links can be placed anywhere on your page
- A convenient link to have at the bottom of your webpage is one that the visitor can click on to "jump" them back to the top of the page, without using the scrollbar
- At the bottom of your page place your link between paragraph tags <p><a href="#top">Top of Page</a></p>
- ***NEW*** Instead of just the plain old <body> tag, use this instead <body id="top">. Your link will work and you won’t be using ugly code for the "jump link" under the <body> opening tag
- You can name the reference link anything you like – I use top
