Add scroll up button to webhelp

I notice the oxygenxml.com pages have a button that appears on scroll down. When clicked, the page jumps to the top.

This is a very common feature of modern websites but is missing from the webhelp (as of v19).

Hello,

To add a button that scrolls the page to the top of the page to the WebHelp Responsive output, use the "webhelp.fragment.after.body" parameter that points to an XML file with the following content:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<div>
<script>
<!--
$(document).ready(function () {
//Check to see if the window is top if not then display button
$(window).scroll(function(){
if ($(this).scrollTop() > 5) {
$('#go2top').fadeIn('fast');
} else {
$('#go2top').fadeOut('fast');
}
});

//Click event to scroll to top
$('#go2top').click(function(){
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop : 0},800);

return false;
});
});
-->
</script>

<style>
#go2top {
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
position: fixed;
display: none;
z-index: 999;
cursor: pointer;
height: 44px;
width: 44px;
border-radius: 0.25em;
position: fixed;
bottom: 37px;
right: 25px;
border: 1px solid #999999;
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
background-color: #444444;
}
</style>

<div id="go2top">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-up"></span>
</div>
</div>
Regards,
Bogdan

This seems like a very good solution. Thanks. Is there any chance that this will be added to some future build as a regular option in webhelp?

Just want to add my +1. We've added a "to top" button via CSS at the end of each page, but this solution here is much nicer. Should be a regular option in one of the next Oxygen releases.
