This plugin will enhance a users' experience of your jQuery Mobile app by adding a 'Back to top' button to a page.
This will save them from having to continuously scroll to get back to the top of a page.
This plugin has been tested on iOS and Android devices.
The plugin requires jQuery Mobile 1.0 or greater.
This plugin binds to the document pageinit event.
$(document).bind("pageinit", function() {
$(document).backToTop();
});This means it will work with both single and multiple pages within the same document.
You can specify the following options:
id (default:'backToTop') - the id of the back to top button element.
text (default:'Back to top') - the text shown in the back to top button.
theme (default:'a') - the theme you want to use for the button.
position (default:'topleft') - where the button should appear. Other position values are 'topright','bottomleft' and 'bottomright.
$(document).bind("pageinit", function() {
$(document).backToTop({
id: 'backToTopPlugin',
text: 'Back to top',
theme: 'b',
position: 'bottomright'
});
});Read the blog post about how this plugin was created.
This uses the a jQuery Mobile boilerplate created by Addy Osmani.
