Title:
"Back to Top" title link should be included in all Dreamwidth styles by default.

Area:
styles, journal navigation

Summary:
Right now a "Back to Top" link (meaning "back to the top of the page") is included in only some Dreamwidth styles by default. Certain styles, including Transmogrified, lack this link altogether. Include this link in all styles by default to make journal navigation quicker and easier.

Description:
This suggestion is to improve journal navigation site-wide.

Right now a "Back to Top" link (meaning "back to the top of the page") is included in only some Dreamwidth styles by default. When you click this link, which is usually located at the bottom of the journal's Recent View page, it makes the page jump back to the top, by linking to the journal's title.

Certain styles, including Transmogrified, lack this link altogether.

Including this link in all styles by default will make journal navigation quicker and easier. Users who don't want this link visible in their journals can add a simple CSS command to the custom CSS box (display:none) to make it disappear.

There is no other solution to wanting to jump back to the top of a journal's Recent View page very quickly except to include the "Back to top" link in all styles by default.

The only drawbacks are it will require time for Dreamwidth's devs to add the link and corresponding s2 code to all styles and to ensure that it displays correctly without jamming up the rest of each style sheet's CSS.

Shift+space works as page up


OOOOHHHHHH!

That's brilliant, how did I not know that worked? I use space all the time (sometimes causes problsm if the carat's on a poll or something, but mostly it's good), but shift space'll really help, my keyboard fingers know how to shift press something.

I taught myself CSS to make my LJ look pretty. I basically think I suck at it, which is, technically, still true. But apparently I'm really good at explaining how it works to others, I suspect because I'm barely past the "I understand this now" stage for most things.

I regularly do some coding work for others just so I can learn stuff, IIRC I helped the OP add a 'top' link to her journal just because it was an interesting challenge. I learnt stuff, therefore it was good.

Glad I could help! ^^

Makes sense that that stage would be good for explaining things to others; you probably still remember what the weird confusing bits are ;p
