Lengthy pages have a 'Back to Top' link

Explanation

If pages are very long vertically you might want to consider putting a “Back to Top” link so users can easily get back to the beginning of the page. Determining if a page is a “long” page is a relative measurement. As a guide, if the user needs to scroll through 3 or more screens to read all of the content you might consider putting a “Back to Top” link at the bottom.

Procedure

1. Put an anchor at the point you want the link to jump to
2. Give the anchor a name, like “#top”. The “#” is necessary for internal links
3. Enter the text “Back to Top” near the bottom of the page
4. Turn it into a link that points to the anchor. For eample, href=”#top”
