Hi Folks

I know I have read this here somewhere but I have spent hours searching and can't find it again ....

How do I put a link from the bottom of the page back up to the top?

I've got some queries about hosting but will find a more suitable part of the community for those.....

Cheers

Bridget

Welcome Bridget.
The html is...
At the top of the page body you will need an anchor:
<a name="top"></a>
and down the page you will need a link to the anchor:
<a href="#top">Top</a>

You could include the 'top' anchor in your Act_Primary template and then perhaps include some html in your product description containing the link to the 'top'.

Hi Duncan

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately I'm not bright enough to understand it. Would you mind providing me with a bit more of a walkthrough please? I'm a real newbie to html and editing the templates.

Sorry.

The Act_Primary.html template in your Site1 directory is used for the product sections. Make a copy of it before making any changes. Open it in Notepad or other editor and add:
<a name="top"></a>
just after the <BODY> tag, then save the template.

Now in your product full description you could for example do this:

This is my product full description blah blah blah !!<<br><a name="top"></a>>!!
Edit: Typo in the line just above - see the correction in Jo's post below.

Hi Duncan and Jo

Just writing to say a big thank you for the advice - much appreciated. Sorry it took me so long - little matter of a full time job keeps getting in the way - very boring. Anyway, think I have sorted it now - hopefully without breaking something else!

Thank again.
