Next and Previous link not appearing online

[stevebrown]

I am in the process of setting up my first Actinic site in order to try and increase sales for my art gallery.

I wanted to use Next and Previous links to navigate with so i found some code in a Communtity thread, it included some java script to get around the issue of an invalid link when you get to the end of a section.

It works fine in site preview mode and also if i publish the site locally on my PC - the problem is the links do not appear at all when i upload to the Internet. My site is:

www.the-online-art-shop.com

The Next and Previous links should be appearing one line above the central panel. I have changed some other things in the Act Primary template (the background colour for the Cards Accepted panel) and re-uploaded, to prove to myself it is not a different version i am looking at.

I have tried Actinic Support centre but they couldnt fix it. I would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions. These links are quite fundamental to my overall design - without them the viewer has to keep going up and down levels.

My background is as a novice - i think Actinic Sales may have slightly glossed over how much technical knowledge you need to get a site up and running.

The code is there - BUT - I found it set to display:none which means it will not show on the page

><a href="" id="previous" style="display:none">Previous</a>

can you post the actual code you used?

Bill,

There's a bit of JavaScript at the bottom of the page that fixes those styles dynamically.

I've no idea why this line is in there

if ((links[i].href).match(/html$/)!=null){

but changing it to

if ((links[i].href).match(/%2ehtml/i)!=null){

seems to work

OOPs, missed that - found the style and thought I had identified the problem, did not look any further. Still it wasn't a v6 thread, so only one foot in my mouth this time

Stephen,

I just amended my suggested workaround, so best check post #3 above if you've already used it.

Everyone - thanks very much for your speedy replies it is much appreciated.

I have tried the change to the java script suggested. I have refreshed the site and the links now appear correctly. Strangely though they have now disappeared from my site preview and when i do a local publish. This is not a problem as such but if anyone has any suggestions why this should be it might help me in my greater understanding of how things work.

Incidently the link below is to the original Community thread where i picked up the code.

once again thanks
