Goback - going in circles

G

Guest

I'm making use of a bit of script that someone sent me and it works as it's
supposed to, but it's going in circles (unfortunately, it's doing exactly
what I told it to - and don't know how else to do it).

I have three pages that point to another set of pages that point to a whole
bunch of pages. I want the visitor to arrive back at the original page
without having to duplicate the pages with the images and having them link
back to the original page (if I have to, I'll do it). If there another way
to beat this. Like I said, the code I have works exactly as it should ... I
keep going back and forth to the (-1) page. I wasn't expecting this
behavious (obviously), so I need to find another way to do this.

Any thoughts out there. If I've confused you, just say so, and I'll try to
explain it better.
Thanks.

Then you'll see a table that takes you to door drawings.
that table is on three pages: Home, Front Entry and Interior.
Click on any of the links (in that table) they will take you to the drawing
pages, which then drill into larger versions of the same images. Click go
back and it take you back to the summary pages, but when you click go back
again, I've set them up to take you to the interior door page for now.

Thanks for any help.

Great lookin' site.
Personally I think there's way too much "clickin" involved in viewing the
product though.

Murray,
Perhaps my approach is wrong, but what I was wanting is make my way to and
from the drawings then end up back on the page that took me there in the
first place, but maybe I'm asking too much. I don't want to have to
duplicate all those pages twice (for the site) and have to link back to the
originating page from the individual drawings (of which there are 175) to
another two sets of summary drawing pages. That would be 175 x's two, plus
19 summary pages times two, plus the linking to them in the first place
which is the same number. It would be onerous.

Thanks for the feedback.

There are 175 drawings, so I'm not sure how to simplify it, but I'll sure
give it some thought. There's always room for improvement.

Why can't you use the same drawings?

I think a small popup (like using Spawn to create a controllable popup
window for the larger image) might work, or maybe a javascript image swap?
Opening and closing pages is time consuming, your views might lose interest
after a while.

Spawn is a free add-in for FP... http://www.jimcosoftware.com/addins.aspx

Rob,
I've never heard of Spawn, but I'll look into it.
And, I'm not sure what you mean by a javascript image swap, but I'll see
what I can find out about it as well. There's lots to learn.

I recall hearing and reading about add-ins for FP, but can't seem to find
them anymore. I'll check out Jimco's site. Diana

Rob,
I tried Spawn on the summary drawing pages and instead of working on a hot
spot (one of the drawings), spawn created the popup box, but it doesn't
matter where I click on the page, it loads the one image.
I obviously need to rethink all of this, but it doesn't look like spawn is
the answer. I like how it worked, but it's not the answer I'm looking for,
for this project.

I just heard back from Jimco and he confirms that it won't work on an image
map ... booooooo.
So there you have it. Thanks anyway. It was worth a try.
