Help can't find solution

I have a Real Estate site. On my listing pages I have a list of photo/text links going to each property listing.

The problem is that when someone clicks a link and then returns back to the page with all the links, they go back to the beginning of the page not the point they clicked on.

What do I need to do so that people returning from a listing return to the same point of the page that they clicked on( IE the 10th propery listing on the page?

The site is www.costaricarealtyone.com

The return page would be /gallery2.htm


Thanks in advance for your help

Re: Help can't find solution

something like this might do it

HTML: Select all
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Return to listings" onClick="history.back()">
</FORM>

Re: Help can't find solution

You can do this by using a server side language. Before you go WHAT?! let me explain a HTML only way.

Anchors. These are positions in HTML that you specify. FE- mypage.com#1 This will make the page go to the anchor named 1. So on your listings each listing would need an anchor. To code an anchor you do this:
Code: Select all
<a name="1">Listing 1</a>
Now on your Return to listings you can use the ID of the listing your returning back to.
Code: Select all
<a href="gallery2.html#1">Return to Listing</a>
This will take you back to the exact page and listing that they left. Make sure you change the numbers to match each listing and that you change the pages to the correct page.

To use server side code you'd take all those pages you made and end up with only 2. One page would display all your listings, the other page would display whatever was clicked. It would save you a LOT of work to learn PHP or ASP to do this. This is some very basic stuff that you could learn and make it even easier for you to maintain.
