Navigation Hints
try it	Click It The pages are planned, as many sites are, to work without the need for help messages: fond hope. The basic hint for navigating the main pages is:- click any button or image to see if it does something. On index pages in a left frame, the index entries, words, are the buttons. This page opens in a new window. You can minimise it onto the toolbar for future reference while using the site.
	Buttons
	HantsMap logo, top left of every page. Button to the Main menu.
	Browse button, upper left of an information page. Button to previous or next page in a series.
	Small button, large bullet point, usually in a margin. Button to the page listed alongside.
	Page button, left/up/right arrows. Buttons to previous, root, and next pages.
	Map image, thumbnail, screen size, or large. Nearly all map images are buttons. The thumbnails goto a screen size image with description; screen size images goto large images, BEWARE you may be loading a large file; large images go back to wherever the thumbnail was. (snips in Map notes are not butons.)
beware	Warning 1. The large images of maps presented in these pages are sometimes very large files. The largest may be 1 to 2 Mbytes even in their .jpg compressed form. These files take a significant time to load; be aware of this when calling up the large images. 2. The catalogue of the collection in Identity number order has some large pages, all pages have many thumbnail images and can take a while to load. 3. The tabulated checklist on a single page has many thumbnail images and will take a while to load. 4. If you are running these pages from CD then many large images will appear to be missing. If you arrive at a missing page message, use 'go back', eg Alt+left arrow, to escape the problem. The total website is so large it is provided on 2 CDs, the second CD has many of the large images. It is best if the contents of the two CDs are loaded onto the PC and run from hard drive not CD. Each CD has all data, except the html start page, in a folder called hantscat. Copy both these onto c: drive (or a drive of your choice) allowing the contents of folders to be merged.
