Top of page Macro

Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.

Description

This macro inserts a "top of page" link in your Trac wiki page. The only option is a string that is inserted into the content of the markup. This defaults to a single circumflex "^" character (more commonly known as a caret), surrounded by square brackets. The anchor element returned includes a "Top of Page" title attribute so the user knows its purpose, and a "topofpage" class so the Wiki author may apply their preferred style rules.

[[Top]] returns:

[<a class="topofpage" href="#" title="Top of page">^</a>]

You could of course achieve the same effect by doing this:

{{{
#!html
[<a href="#" title="Top of page">^</a>]
}}}

Resulting in this:

[^]

Note that the brackets do not form part of the anchor itself. This is a personal preference. If you pass a string to the ​macro they are omitted.

Styling

If you like the caret, but prefer to omit the brackets and style the link yourself with CSS, try something like this:

a.topofpage {
  display: block;
  height: 11px;
  width: 11px;
  font-family: 'BitStream Vera Sans',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-decoration: none;
  background-color: #eaeaea;
  color: #e9611c;
  padding: 1px 2px 2px;
  border: 1px solid #c6c7db;
  margin-left: -6px;
}
a.topofpage:hover {
  border-color: #000;
  background-color: #777;
  color: #fc3;
}

Note: If you're going to style the anchor like this you should also pass an argument to the macro or you'll end up with the default brackets in addition to the styling.

Behavior

If you want to get really fancy you can use jQuery to create a smooth scrolling effect when the link is clicked. In your site.html template add:

Note: Returning false from the lambda, or anonymous, function prevents the browser from kicking in it's own event model. However, it degrades nicely and still works even if the user has JavaScript disabled.
