If you like the auto return to top feature (tap anywhere above the URL field in your browser), you might like this:

Save this to your bookmarks bar:

javascript:scroll(0,document.getElementsByTagName(%20%22body%22)%5B0%5D.scrollHeight);

This lets you quickly zip to the bottom of the screen.

Excellent tip, KayKayKay! I just got done putting this one in as a bookmark!

Create a new book mark using say google home page, save to you bookmark bar.
Then got to bookmarks and edit your new book mark
Paste the script where the google URL is.

javascript:scroll(0,document.getElementsByTagName(%20%22body%22)%5B0%5D.scrollHeight);

Picture below helps

Skitch is always helpful, thanks Bosvaark for creating this for Kaykaykay's excellent tip for our members!

If I may be so bold - I made a sticky over in the FAQ section that showed how to make bookmarklets. It's also got a rather comprehensive list of bookmarklets that work great on the iPad. It's here: http://www.ipadforums.net/showthread.php?t=72353

So, if you like the scrolling bookmarklet, maybe you'll find more to like over there. And, if you have one that I don't have listed - I'd sure be interested in it (and can add it). I really like bookmarklets and am always looking for new ones. :)

I like bookmarklets, too. At some point I did a Google search and found a bunch, many of which I didn't use, but if anyone's looking for more, they're findable by searching for something like "iPad bookmarklets."

Reminder’s month view on the iPhone

To see a quick monthly calendar from within Reminders.app, tap ‘Date’ in the top then tap the Calendar glyph in the upper left.

What does the "Reminders" app look like? Couldn't find anything that was titled just "Reminders"

The icon is a to-do list with 3 ticks and some text. Swipe the home screen of icons to the right and use the Spotlight search to find "reminders" and see if it appears there.

This is what the icon looks like on the iPad (it's a default app):

Stop Search tip

Does anyone have a tip to halt an inadvertent link that occurs when you intend to scroll the page down but instead you've pressed a link and launched the search/seek function.

Do you have the split keyboard feature turned on? Go to Settings - General - Keyboard and you will see Split Keyboard here and turn it on.

If you get notifications on your lock screen, you can hold the app icon for the notification and it will turn into a slide to view slider. Allows you to g direct to the app instead of using the usual slide to unlock and searching for the app.
This is a GREAT tip, I had no idea, and probably only found out by accident /luck... So thanks so much!!
