Any programmers out there??

I am trying to place a select button on a cache page leading other cachers to some of my other cache pages. The above program ALMOST works. I have 3 selections: PUZZLE, DEJAVU,and FARTHER BACK. the images appear on the cache page but when I make a selection, it returns to the page I have the button on. It will not go the the selected page. Also, the "GO" button works but does not show as a go button.

I am not a programmer. The program was copied from the web with my modifications.

Can anyone point out what is wrong hare??

Thanks.

The images appear on the cache page but when I make a selection, it returns to the page I have the button on. It will not go the the selected page. Also, the "GO" button works but does not show as a go button.

Not sure about the first question, but for the second: try putting the full URL of the "Go" button image (rather than just "gobutton2.gif").

Thanks for the reply. Well--it almost works. Closest I've gotten so far. I get "page cannot be found" but that's pretty darn good. Now just gotta find out why the page can't be found. I'm wondering if geocaching.com recognizes java script. Should, shouldn't it?? Again--thanks.

Weird... I'm not sure how it got there but remove the space between "java" and "script" so it is all one word.

YES!! THAT GOT IT. Man I've been working on that for a week. Thanks again--whoever you are.
