can jump to top be displayed on left?

[sue]

I love your scripts! Is there an easy way to change jumptop.js so that the jump to top is displayed on the left instead of the right?

thanks

Script: jump to top link
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/jumptop.htm

Sorry, this is the first time I have used the forum - I will make sure I do that in future. The jump to top script puts the link on the bottom right. I am amending a website for a school and their pages have space at the bottom left where the link would look perfect. It would be great if you could help me.

thanks

Thanks. However, that starts [top] at the left but as soon as you scroll down, it moves back to the right again. Also, when you say it only works in IE, what will happen for anyone else? Will they just not get the [top] showing at all?

Bum hats, I knew I would have missed something.

I'll go edit the script...

Ok, lets try this again... should work 100% in Internet Explorer
For other users, if they resize their window after entering the site, it creates odd problems - they're not too noticable, but they're odd.

Download FireFox to see what I mean.

edit: see later post for IE only version

Thanks, that is great! What will happen if someone is not using IE?

If they resize the window, the browser will not correct the point which the text needs to stay at. So if you make the window larger vertically, it'll still hang over the original lowest mark.

It's odd.

Sorry to be a pain but I think I would prefer to just have the link to top appear for IE users then. It means that other users would have to manually scroll back to the top but at least their pages would not look funny. Please could you give me the amendments so that it only puts the top message for IE users who won't get a problem if they resize their window?

Thanks very much
