The little tab with an up arrow on the lower right to return to top of page. Ebay has it. They're one of about three sites I've seen with one. I don't understand why most pages do not have one. It could be done with HTML v1 code, as I've always put one on any pages I edited since 1996. FWIW, I still do HTML is Notepad++ and hardly use anything but straight HTML code. Hell, I coded a "Top" button on my Renegade BBS forum's longer pages in 1993!
Hand coding a web page via ANSI text editor... they should still teach that in any kind of internet courses IMO. I haven't done much coding for anything major in probably ten years. But I always despised the convoluted mess "quick-editors" like Front Page made. I can only imagine what the code for a page on fakebook must look like, and it's an abyss of drivel, I'm sure. But it just seems to me, especially in this mobile era, that optimized code should be a top priority. Obviously, it isn't. That's probably why so many sites are downright losing a race against semi-frozen molasses!

Why don't large sites have a "Top" button?

Re: Why don't large sites have a "Top" button?
I'd imagine sites don' t typically bother to embed "Top" button code because it's a pretty easy user action with a simple keystroke ("Home") on desktop keyboards. For mobile, at least on iOS, a tap at the top of the screen is the "Top" command. I'm so used to those methods that even when I"m on a page that has a "top" button, I never use it!

You've taught me something I never knew. Where is this "Home" key positioned on the keyboard?
I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.
Re: Why don't large sites have a "Top" button?
On a full-size desktop keyboard, it's in the cluster of keys between the alpha keys and numeric keypad
INSert | HOME | PgUp
DELete | END | PgDn
These are above the up/down/left/right arrow keys.
Compact keyboards and laptops might not have these dedicated keys but usually a fn (Function) equivalent is mapped to an existing key. So, I guess a "Top" key would be helpful for those users.

Found it. How did that get there? It wasn't there before.SolarMax wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 10:28 am

Yeah, someone broke in and put those keys on my keyboard! I'll bet it's the Feds... Or Brother Stare!
Actually, though, I knew this worked in editors and such, but I don't think I ever tried it on a web browser. :_
