    Hi
    Not sure how to explain this, but want I want to do is to insert the word TOP in a small font in the
    footer, so when someone needs to go back to the top of the page, they don’t have to scroll they just hit the word top and that link does it automatically if this makes sense. Any ideas please

    Regards

    you could add an anchor in the html of the template.

    templates/yourtemplate/index.php

    somewhere after the </head>
    <a name=”top”></a>

    then somewhere at bottom by footer where you want it
    <a href=”#top”>Top</a>

    There is probably some javascript too, but this should work.

    Hi
    Thank you very much for your reply regarding this issue, couple more questions unfortunately as I new and learning as I go. Is it okay to insert this code at the head directly under <head> and
    secondly to insert the second part of the code between the two lines </div> and !–END: CONTENT– > as I think the text TOP is better suited at the bottom of the content and not in the footer. Am I also right in assuming that adding this code will allow me to add the text top to all pages of my site if I what’d to.

    Regards

    <blockquote>Is it okay to insert this code at the head directly under <head></blockquote>

    AFTER the </head> as you do not want it in the head tags, just in the header part of the website, so somewhere by ja-header div.

    Yes, you can put the second part whereever you want the “top” to show up, and it will show up on all your pages.

    Hope this works!

    Hi
    Thank you very much for your post on my couple questions, I have inserted the code and it works very well but the only issue is the in the page url in the browser. Once I hit top and go to top of page it shows after .html#top if I don’t hit the text top and scroll back to the top of the page my url ends with .html, do you think the added #top will affect my seo friendly url’s ?.

    Regards

    Sorry Ray, I do not know this, but glad the link worked. Not sure a name works without the # but you could do a google search on page bookmarks or anchors and see if there is another way.

    Trick might be to use href=”#page, not href=”#top

    Hope this helps,

    Hi Tom
    Thanks for your reply I edited the code with page as you suggested, but when I hit the text TOP at the foot of the page I didn’t go to the top of the page as per the original code edit but worth a try.

    Regards

    Replace this in your index.php

    <div id="footer">
    <a class="anchor" href="#page"></a>
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="footer" />
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="debug" />
    </div>

    and this in your css file:

    DIV#footer A.anchor
    {
    position: absolute;
    right: 5px;
    top: 20px;
    width: 30px;
    height: 5px;
    background: url(../images/anchor.png) no-repeat 0 0;
    display: block;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    This should work. 🙂

    Cheers,
    Tom

    P.S. Of course, edit the code to your needs. I took this from my own website and pasted it here, as it works like a charm. 🙂

    Thank you for the new code but can I just check that I insert the the code in the index.php between
    <!–begin:footer–> and <!–end:footer–>

    One more question, can you confirm please that the other code that has to go into the css file, is to be put into the template.css, and where should I place it?

    Sorry to ask but I am still learning as I go here and and have almost reached the end of this site so don’t want to put codes in the wrong place!

    Regards
    Ray
