javascript, image redirect question Hi,

I notice that one image appears to be high on the entry pages for my site
weblogs. My guess is that all these visitors ever see of the site is the
image.

IS it possible to redirect these visitors to a different page that will have
the original content they clicked for, plus a link to the rest of the site
instead of just viewing the .jpg?

Thanks

Hi,

If the people are just linking to the image like this:
<img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/images/veryspecial.jpg">

then you cannot do a lot, except maybe replace that veryspecial.jpg by a new
picture with your text on it, saying where they can see the real image. :-)

Are you making that "guess" based on your logs or on the visible
appearance of your page? If its from your logs, then they are viewing it
directly and not a lot you can do. If its from the visible appearance of
your page (you have a large image at the top of your page that forces
them to scroll to see the content), then redesign your page.

Nothing to do with javascript.

javascript >> image redirect question Thanks for the replies. I did expect to find that it wasn't possible, but
it never hurts to ask :)

Yes. The software I use for analysing the logs allows me to replicate the
visitor's search etc, and all they see is the image in the browser.

Thanks
