"Back to Top" links considered harmful |
 | | If you see “Back to Top” for the first time in your life, can you know whether it means top of page, top of site, or top of something else. |
 | | Actually, there are differences; for example, “Back to Top” might not jump to the very top but somewhere near to it, and as mentioned, the focusing behavior can be different. |
 | | “Back to Top” links are however a different case, since the user probably does not expect a new page to load and the current page fade away. |
