Topic: back button

I am totally confused by how to make a back/escape button on a gallery that works correctly. People who are viewing my site seem put off by having to click the back button of the web browser. I looked at the forums and instructions, but they didn't seem to make sense. All I want is a button that takes you back to the previous page that has the links for the various galleries. There is a back button feature, but it does not want to find the URL I type in.

go to http://www.garyhughesmfa.com/SimpleView … olist.html

It is a gallery page that needs a simple back button that escapes the viewer and goes back to the page with the link.

thanks, Gary

P.S. Phone support would be nice.

Re: back button

Leave the 'backButtonURL' option blank and the back button will take you back to the previous page (the default behavior).

Re: back button

O.k., that works,

Next question.

The gallery windows are re-sizeable. That works fine, but there is not an obvious color band in the lower right corner that implies the window is re-sizeable, as typifies a Mac window.. Can we fix that, so people will know they can re-size on various sized screens?

Re: back button

I think most people realize that browser windows are resizable.

You might think so, but several people complained there were no back buttons on my gallery pages when the browser has a back button of its own. A lot of my pages are long and a lot of people have lap tops. So, how about an answer to my question, can I color the lower right corner of a gallery page?
