We have a page top button, how about a page bottom button?

Just curious.

[bris] ,what were you thinking? [skinflaps, Jan 15 2005]

Never felt like I needed one. You?

Nah, just curious.Maybe useful for lengthy ideas and anno's, author etc.. that's all.(and it may be a first.However I'm sure someone will find a link to this)

I do use a "page bottom" function on particularly long postings to see the most recent annotation. On IE6, CTRL+End does the job. CTRL+Home takes you to the top of the page.

Odd, I have IE6 and don't need to press CTRL. Just End. Quite easy, and used at least whenever I check up on Blackholeapult or Roaming Fish Ball.

Yep, he's right. I just carried over an old habit that happened to work. Cool, look at all the keystrokes I'll save!

I'm with you on that [half] is it not possibile, instead of buttons to simply curser a link?

[World'eer] I have no idea where IE6 is,I see the alphabet in front of me, I press these buttons and"Wooha" I'm here.

I must learn more.

I suppose that someone smarter than me could write a browser add-in that adds a button to do the "go to the bottom of the page" thing if you need to use the mouse and jutta doesn't add such a link to the hb.

Opera has "mouse gestures". I don't remember if one of them does this.

The HTML code for adding a 'page bottom' link is about 2 lines of code.

[skin] IE6 just means Internet Explorer, version 6, which is the type of internet browser I use. Go to a long page, press "end" (it's near the letters, over the arrows) and see if that works for you.

Given that single-key commands exist for jumping to the beginning of a page, can anyone think of a reason to keep that "top of the page" link? I remember someone asking for it originally, but I don't really use it and wouldn't miss it if it were gone. Maybe we should just have told that person about the generic "home" key and left it at that.

What goes up must come down, so I'm told.

Main Index is more useful for the reasons stated.

How about a fiberfill button?

<feels better now for having read the first few annos and looked everywhere for the "page top" link>

You weren't the only one who did that.

Hey! Where did [Rods Tiger] go? And who's this [Ian Tindale] impostor?

Well, you know the story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde...

Ha! Dr. Tiger and Mr. Tindale.

Call it the "Vernon" button.
