I suggest to change the link texts "previous pic"/"next pic" to "more
clothes"/"less clothes".

as long as the clickable area of the link is large enough not to require
precise positioning it really doesn't matter what the links are called.

Is it possible to code the links so that 'previous' and
'next' are 'clicked' using the <- and -> keys on the keyboard?

Look into the accesskey attribute. Maybe that will help. Make sure to
also search for the problems with them.

But hey, your incentive to click them harden.. increases, doesn't it?

should already be built into any decent browser.
e.g. opera: ctrl+shift+left/right arrow.
mozilla(win): alt-left/right arrow

No, that's the replacement of the browsers back and forth
buttons. I was thinking clicking to the next picture, if you
haven't seen it yet.

I can already imagine problems, but I'm interested in
knowing how it works anyway, so, thanks, will look into that.

Right. Imagine the mouse not working and you don't know if you need
number 40, 41, 42 or 43.
That's 4 times tabbing 40-something links to find the photo you
wanted.

That's roughly <C-f>[0-9]*<CR><TAB><CR><CR> for each link respectively,
the details might differ per UA. With Lynx, BTW, you can have links
enumerated and just type [0-9]*<CR>. Very handy; by far the fastest way
to navigate through pages with excessive link farms.


Now you may say: "Ah! Good to know that, thanks!"

Actually, I kinda knew. Discovered last week, that typing a
letter makes the first next link starting with that letter
light up. Should have guessed that works for numbers too.

In Opera CTRL+right is equivalent to the Forward button, but
CTRL+SHIFT+right is a shortcut for any <link rel="next">.

Opera also looks for links in the page that contains words like 'next'
and if it finds them allows fast access to those pages via a number of
different keyboard shortcuts.

Now that, I didn't know. Added <link href="page.html"
rel="next"> to the head of a page, and that works.

Where do I find those shortcuts?

CTRL+B brings up the Help page with all the keyboard shortcuts used by
Opera.

One of my favourites is the space bar. Use it to scroll down a page, and
when you reach the bottom, hit it again to go to the next page.

Thanks, that Help page has a lot of interesting info.

Found the one you were talking about. I thought it was a
seperate shortcut for links with 'next' in it, but it's in
fact the same as in Firefox (Moz?), only now you have to
type a comma first.

This just convinced me it's a good thing to put in a
<link href="page2" rel="next"> type of thing in my <head>'s.
Thanks :)

Mozilla has that option too - you can set it to either just do that for
links, or for any text.

and something completely unrelated: i think you should add
http://www.vischeck.com/vischeck/vischeckURL.php to the w3 menu

I was *this* close to adding it a few months ago:

-> <-

But then I ran it on some page and it gave what seemed to me to be a
completely wrong result. It also has an oddity where it takes stylesheets
for non-screen media (e.g. print) and converts them to screen media. :-(

Though as you're the second person to request it, I guess I'll add it.

i had a link for another one but i cant find it and my connection speed
is down to 1.3k so its pretty much useless trying to surf the net
looking for it.

gee, i dunno. if it doesn't work properly maybe you shouldn't.
