Jones" Subject: anenews Image index... As Web sites like the one at the OI get larger and larger it becomes more and more difficult to remember what's where. In the hope of assisting users to find images, I have cobbled together a sort of "visual index" of the images of Iran on this server. It means that there are a large number of thumbnails loading into a single document which may be a problem for some users, particulalry those working over slow connections. But it means that all the images are in one place, and because each of them is linked to the page(s) where it is normally contextualized. If this works, it will be no trouble at all to prepare additional documents for Mesopotamia, Egypt, etc. So have a look if you can, at: http://oi.uchicago.edu/DEPT/RA/Iranthumbs.html and let me know, off list, whether this is successful or not, and particularly whether it is possible to load such a page on a slow connection. We already have another page which works in a similar way, Alex O'Brien's index to demotic text published on the Web: http://oi.uchicago.edu/OI/DEPT/RA/ABZU/DEMOTIC_WWW.HTML but that one collects and links to images from other sites where Demotic texts are catalogued or illustrated. - -Chuck Jones- cejo@midway.uchicago.edu ------------------------------ End of ANEnews Digest V1999 #34 ******************************* Back issues are available on the Oriental Institute World-Wide Web (WWW) site at: http://oi.uchicago.edu/OI/ANE/OI_ANE.html
