I am trying to create a 'return to top of page' link at the end of each page on my site. How do I do this?

Many thanks,

Elaine Warriner

#top anchor

Hi Elaine,

Hope you enjoyed the course last week.

A solution to your question is to create an anchor at the top of your page, perhaps as the first element after <body> tag (before any text, images or tables). To do this, place your cursor in desired insertion point and choose Insert > Anchor. Sometimes it's called Named Anchor.

Normally you would name this anchor top.

You then need to link to the anchor. There are a few ways to do this, but the easiest is to create a link to simply #top (or whatever you've called the anchor). Note the use of the hash character before the name, this is how you indicate you are linking to an anchor, not another web page.

Another way is to simply link to a hash. This is a built in shortcut for most browsers which jumps the user back to the top of the page.

The code will look like this:
<a href="#">Back to top</a>

I trust this answers your question. Have a lovely Christmas.

Regards, Rich
