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 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. |

[removes "page top" link.] |

|
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. |
