Key links

This temporary page contains links to pages which provide access to index information for site visitors. It is recommended that either:

these links are copied to existing web pages to enable site visitors to access the index pages; or
a new page or pages are developed to provide an introduction to the index pages, and these links are then incorporated into the new page(s).

The menu which follow contains the links described below. One possibility is to copy this menu into a page and, if necessary, edit it to add links or remove links not relevant to the site.

The menu uses code provided free by Adobe which is in folder (root)/visitorPages/shared/. To link this software into a page, copy code from this page:

3 lines of code at the end of the </head> section;

7 lines of script at the end of the </body> section

These pieces of code contain references to "spry", the name Adobe uses for the code it makes available in this way.

The most important links are as follows:

To search for person links to page personSearch.php

This is the page by which a visitor submits search criteria to find a person
To search for images links to page imageSelect.php

This page allows visitors to select images to view, by either selecting a ‘set’, or by entering a few keywords
to search for buildings links to buildingStreetSelect.php

This allows the visitor to select a street from a list, then displays thumbnails of the houses in the selected street as a means of selecting a building. If the alternative method of selecting from a map is to be used, a page will be required to hold the map, and hotspots added to create the links. Another alternative is to import a Google map (see example on Sherington web site).
