The reason for so many pop ups is that it`s the letters of the alphabet A-Z plus a main page, but 2 letters are not being used (X & Y) 25 pages in total. I`m not going to be publishing the site, i will be storing it on an external drive or usb thumb drive as html.
The main concept is my music collection. I have 736 albums and i just wanted to do a database, but my database is going to teach me how to make a web site as well and figure out problems along the way and maybe come across easier ways to do things.
At the start of my first build i was going to link an artist in the A section (Airbourne) to another page that gave information about the album (eg: Album Name, Year, Genre, Track Listing, Track Length & Album Length). But i decided that was going to be far to many pages and it would overwhelm the whole project i wanted to do. The way i`m doing it now is to link an artist name (on the main INDEX page) to the A section page where all the pop ups are and then click on an album panel on the A section page so a pop up will appear with all the information in the pop up. Less pages but a lot more pop ups. But copy and paste saves me time redoing the pop up for each album..
And yes i know there are databases out there to do all that but i have already made myself a database in MS Access, but doing it this way in Web Designer gives me more of a visual style and i`m learning new things as i go. I have also found ways to do things i wouldn`t have thought about... And that is why i posted my question on the forum to see if it was possible to link a button or a panel from 1 page to a pop up on another page..
So that is what i am doing, if you want to see a few screen shots i can post them so you can see and maybe you might have a few suggestions to do certain things.. I hope i have described everything in a way that makes sense.. lol
