I'm pretty sure this is not what the original poster wants. He wants a bookmarklet that will jump to the body of any page.

I think the OP is asking for a JS solution if it will be used as a bookmarklet; he won't have control over the webpage.

right, i want a bookmarklet so i can jump to the bottom of every webpage! i can't place an anchor inside of website i visit. i just want to click a bookmarklet and jump to the bottom of the page.

Answer 2

A:

First, your JavaScript only defines a function and does nothing else.

Second, you need to use document.documentElement (which represents the <html> element) instead of document.body:

javascript:dh=document.documentElement.scrollHeight;ch=document.documentElement.clientHeight;if(dh>ch){moveme=dh-ch;window.scrollTo(0,moveme);}

or, simply

javascript:window.scrollTo(0,document.documentElement.scrollHeight)

(apparently it doesn't matter if y-coord of window.scrollTo is greater than the maximum position).

Update: In case you have to deal with IE in quirks mode, the root element is indeed document.body. Other browsers let document.documentElement.clientHeight represent the document's height (see Finding the size of the browser window, which deals with the window's height, but contains a nice table). Anyway, you want to set the position of the scroller to whatever is the greatest of the three:

javascript:window.scrollTo(0,Math.max(document.documentElement.scrollHeight,document.body.scrollHeight,document.documentElement.clientHeight))
