I have been working on a website for family photos. The following is a link to one of the photo pages:

Photo page (http://www.hintzefamily.com/PhotoAlbumMemorialDay2003.html)

I set this up using CSS and DIVs. The thumbnails on the right are in one set of nested DIVs, and the photos are in another set. If you click thru the thumbnails, you view the associated photos. My question is this, after looking at a few photos, if you click the "Back" button in IE, the previously viewed photo does not reappear, but instead the photo in view when you clicked the "Back" button stays in view (although if you look at the address bar in IE, it shows that the browser has"jumped" back to the previous target). What have I done wrong?

Hopefully I have explained myself correctly.

First of all, cute kids!

You have multiple files loading within one html methinks.

So it's not anything you've done wrong, it's just that because you aren't loading a new html page for every pic it doesn't have anything to go back to. The back button works for multiple html pages, not multiple files within an html page.

Thanks for the help, and the kind words (I didn't notice the problem with Thumb 30, I will fix).

If I understand this correctly, if I link from one part of a page to another part of the same page, then there isn't a way to use the "Back" button to return to the previous part of the page that was viewed?
