WP8 Internet Explorer : Jump to Top


When browsing through long web pages such as blogs or news feed, you'll often times want to jump back to the top of the page. Back when I was using the iPhone, it was as simple as tapping the status bar. Unfortunately on WP8, there is no dedicated way to achieve this.

If you've noticed, tapping the "..." while using IE brings up the status bar and I always thought that they should enable a "jump to top" feature there. However, since they don't, here's the next best thing - create your own bookmark.

All you have to do is go to any webpage and select the "add to favorites" option. Then, change the name to "Top", "Jump to Top", etc. and make sure to add a "^" or other symbol to ensure the link stays at the top of the favorites list.

For the web address simply type "javascript:scroll(00)" without the parentheses. It takes a few taps to access but can make your browsing experience a bit easier for pages that have a lot of scrolling.
