If the page name is "index.html", try

For an image, replace the text 'top' with an image.

This image could be a a button, but to generate one, use
onclick="location.href='index.html'" />

By default, you will locate to the top of "index.html"

Hi Andrew,
I also thought of doing this

But it has the (slight) disadvantage that the name (#top) is appended to the
address in the address bar
e.g. on my local web, thw I sue this code, this is what is in the address
bar
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Trevor/My%20Documents/ My%20Webs/myweb/index.html#top

BTW, it relies on the fact that locating to an non-existent tag (#top) will,
by default, locate to the top of the page.

It also opens a new window (unless you add target="_self" to the tag)

Just by chance I found a script which does the same thing in a few different
ways
http://nl.internet.com/c.html?rtr=on&s=1,2vrr,1,wv6,kax8,400 o,74e4

srork,
I hope you get something to work for you - it's a nice idea, and one which I
think adds to the page rather than annoys (as some can).

Because I don't want to look at code, I highlight my Back Up text or button,
click the hyperlink toolbar button, choose the "Existing File or Web Page"
command, and click to add that page to the Address line.

Andrew, are you saying I could use this


and no matter which page I put this on, the back up command will go to top?

If so, what a timesaver! Can you explain exactly how I'd use this? If you
can, please tell me precisely where it would go. I know almost zero about
HTML and avoid even looking at it. I'm using FP 2002. Anytime I've tried to
use code someone recommends, it shows up on page in Normal view...and I know
it's something simple I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Here's the best solution - assume your code is like this -

AFAIK, if you add the code

clicking on the text will go to the top.

This causes the current window to be opened and located to the to the tag
named #top. Because this tag doesn't exist, the default will be the top of
the page.

Note
1. This opens a new page. To reopen the same page, use


2. The reference is actually "index.html#top" (if the page is index.html)
and this will appear in your address bar. To avoid this, use
.
This has the disadvantage that you have to tailor it for each page

I read your statement: "I don't want to look at code", but you want get too
far without understanding at least some HTML code.

It is very easy to add a link such as this. Click on HTML view (I think
that's correct for FP2002) and you will see the code. You will find that
most of is the text that you see displayed. Just find the point where you
want to add the link and paste in the code at this point. That's all there
is to it. (Of course, you have to save the file as usual.)

I also managed to do this using the menu.
Insert: Hyperlink
Address: index.html
Target Frame: same frame
Text: click to return to top
generated this
.

Hi Murray,

I was replying to various posts in the stream and in the end I thought the
best way was
.

Is this what you would recommend?
or is this better
?
or even

(where the page is index.html)?

By now, the OP has probably decided what to use anyway

I don't use a top link much myself, but I tried the first one on my site and
it seems to work OK

Great,
Now I recall. And I am only 65. I thought my memory recall wouldn't
disappear so soon :-))

Of course, this is the solution that resolves every problem, except that
each page has to be altered to add the

In my experience, the answer is yes, but as Trevor indicated "#top" will be appended to the URL in
the address bar.

It is not consistent with my experience, though. At the moment, I do not
