Complicated?! Making sure the HTML is correct is complicated?

The advice was to make sure that there is an id on the page somewhere  
that corresponds to the id in the href attribute of the "To top" link.  
That makes perfect sense since the link can't work otherwise. Your  
suggestion makes no sense UNLESS that condition is met, and is quite  
possibly irrelevant even if the condition is satisfied.

Also, the fact that this works out of the box in your installation is  
not particularly relevant either because (a) it obviously doesn't work  
in the thread-starter's site, and (b) most TYPO3 sites are built with  
custom templates, many of which don't include an appropriately named  
id in the source code.
