I made my own “jump to top”, but can’t place ID=”top” in top menu area

Twenty Seventeen gets all anchor points and offsets them as you’ve experienced, so that the sticky menu doesn’t overlap the content.

How important is this #top link you’ve created and how important is it that it should go to the top of the page and not have an offset?

Changing this behaviour is about 4 hours work for me and I envisage that I don’t have that time to help you.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the response. Since the jump is working fine, and it gets close enough to the top, it’s certainly not worth four hours of time of an expert! I’m satisfied that I haven’t missed something easy, so I’ll let it go.

Thanks for the good words, but there may still be hope yet. I think it isn’t going to take as long as I envisaged and I may have time to help.

In the meantime, would you be able to provide a link to your page with this jump link? I checked the site a day ago and couldn’t see it, maybe I looked in the wrong place.

Hi Andrew,

Great, thanks. Go to:

https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~madelucchi/publications-by-research-topic/

Then jump to the first research topic area (DEEP GREEN). At the bottom of that topic area, on the right side of the page, in purple, you will see “To top of page”. That takes you back to the top of the content area, below the entry header.

I have “To top of page” at the bottom of all the areas where one can “jump” to.

Oh, maybe you just need to change the ID to something like:

#main

Or:

#content

Oh, thanks, you inspired me to investigate that angle. So I went into the web inspector and found that the top-most area has an ID #masthead, so I just used that, and it worked! I’ll get rid of my #top since I don’t need it.

Thanks a lot, you guys are super helpful.
