Thread: Internal Page Links vs External Page Links

I am still grappling with how to protect my "published" data. However, one part of the "paper" deals with subscripts or references.

I can use either internal or external links; i.e., link to the bottom of the same page or link to an external 'reference' page. Linking within the same page would make for faster processing and reading. However, I suspect it would not be much faster than 'external'.

The methodology, internal vs external, is not my primary question but rather how do I return to my point of origin. The majority of our readers are up in years (like me) and computer illiterate. So, how can I conveniently get them back to the original, in this case, subscript?

The HTML code (Article5.html) is as follows:

<p><b>Dystonia</b> is defined by a subcommittee of the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation as a syndrome dominated by sustained muscle contractions, frequently causing twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures (unpublished definition). The involuntary movements can vary from brief spasm to sustained contractions. In cranial dystonia the involuntary spasms are bilateral and involve eyelid, facial, mandibular, oral, lingual and laryngeal muscles.^{<a href="Article5Ref.html #one">1</a>} Synonymous terms for this entity include Meige's syndrome, Breughel's syndrome, idiopathic orofacial dystonia, blepharospasm-oromandibular dystonia and cranial-cervical dystonia. Its most frequent presenting sign is blepharospasm.^{<a href="Article5Ref.html #two" title="Use Back Arrow to Return to Article">2-4</a>}</p>
<br />

The external code (Article5Ref.html) is as follows:

How to I return to Article5.html? Do I use "title" to advise them on how to get back or is there some concrete way of doing it?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You could use an overlay, like shadowbox which they can just close when they are done.
Shadowbox.js

CEW,

Thanks for the tip. Have not used JS as of yet but willing to try. Will look into Shadowbox.
