You can use the Home key on your keyboard to go to the top of the page instantly.
End moves you all the way to the bottom.
This should work on pretty much any page on the Web, just make sure your cursor isn't in a form (like those in this forum), a Flash game, or any other "special" stuff.
Also try Page Up and Page Down to do exactly what those buttons are called.

We use a MacBook, and if there's an "End" or "Home" key anywhere on the thing, I haven't bothered to find it.

I just gave up on them putting the buttons I want, where I want them, so I just made my own master directory page.

mykalgaidin, there is a way to "recreate" the keys removed from the newer Macbooks.
I don't know if it's really easier than scrolling with the mouse though.

Fn + ← = Home (top of page)
Fn + → = End (of page)
Fn + ↑ = Page Down, or you can press Space
Fn + ↓ = Page Up, or you can press Shift + Space

I got that from this document.

Yikes. Too much work for me. But thanks for the information.

Eh? Care to display this gadget?

[LordXenophon]

It's just a list of links. Once you find a page you want to return to, copy the link from the nav bar and paste it into FrontPage. That's all there is to it. Later, you open your list page first, then control-click the links to open them in a new tab.

[TheHedgeWizard]

Ah. okay. I'm using Chrome at any rate so I've got the Most Viewed as an open tab with New Posts in there, along with a clicky in my bookmarks bar.

[LordXenophon]

All you really need is your favorites. Every browser I know of will allow you to create a folder tree in your favorites folder. You can save all the links you want, arrange them in your folders however you want and keep them forever.

That only works from home, unless I want to copy my favorites folder onto a flash drive or something. I like the html idea better, because I could e-mail it to myself and use it from public computers.
