Question

How do I quickly go to the bottom of any page?

A standard iPhone navigation control is to tap the very top of the screen to jump back to the top.

Is there an equivalent for jumping to the very bottom of a very long page?

iPhone 3GS, iPhone OS 3.0, 32gb

There is no built in way to get quickly to the bottom of a page. However, this neat trick should work. If you want to go to the bottom of any web page in Safari you can do it using a bookmark and javascript.

Using your iPhone, go to any page and save a bookmark (this one will do). Then copy the following line on your iPhone (the usual way).

javascript:window.scrollTo%280%2C100000%29

Edit the bookmark you created. Rename it something like "Go to bottom" and then replace the url with the above (paste it in).

The next time you are viewing a page and want to go to the bottom, just select that bookmark and it will take you to the bottom of the page.

Just to say that 2 months on I still haven't found the answer to this. If it's NOT possible to do it at all, I'd love to know so I can stop looking 🙂

I wish it were as well but it's not possible... can't be done without scrolling.

In checking the iPhone manuals, to include the Finger Tips, the only mention there is about navigation on a web page is to tap the top to get to the top. There is no mention on tapping to get to the bottom of a page.

Double tapping at the bottom of the screen will move you down the page...but not necessarily to the bottom, unless the page is short.
