Still a more scrolling then if it used the window the user provided rather then trying to make its own. >> * href="#" - a link to the top of the page is a pretty poor fallback >> should the JavaScript not run for any reason. > > not sure what you're talking about here, i guess the link at the bottom, > but it does work without javascript.
