'Return to top' trouble?

[Kymberly]

I am using this to allow a page to 'return to top' by clicking a link.
It was working and now it isn't. I wonder if someone can help me?
This is the first lot of php
<?php
$VegetableReturn = <<<VEG
<tr class="PlainLink">
<td></td>
<td>
<a href="#Vegetables">
<img src="Images/veg/47270289.jpg" alt=""
style="float: left; margin: 10px;">
<br><small>Top of<br>Vegetables</small>
</a>
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>\n
VEG;

$FruitReturn = <<<FRUIT
<tr class="PlainLink">
<td></td>
<td>
<a href="#Fruit">
<img src="Images/veg/47270289.jpg" alt=""
style="float: left; margin: 10px;">
<br><small>Top of<br>Fruit</small>
</a>
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>\n
FRUIT;
?>


This is the php that is spread intermittently through out the page.
<?php print($VegetableReturn); ?>

If I understand you correctly, $VegetableReturn is what you are print around the page a a link back to the top.

If so, this will never happen at the moment because this variable does not contain any html that a browser can interpit as a link.

You need to have your variable contain something like:

Code: Select all

<a href=#top>Top of page</a>

and then you need an anchor at the top of the page.

Remember that any id can be used as an anchor.

Thanks for that.

also if you have an anchor that isnt actually specified, when you click on it, it will go to the top of the page.
Sometimes people have a problem with the top function not going all the way to the top, so you should simply define a tag which doesn't exist
