Hey Guys

I'm building a website with pictures of retro video games from Japan. The
index page a simple list, and when you click on the console name it will
take you to a photo gallery that was made with Photoshop CS.

After you're done viewing the photo gallery, I want the viewer to be able to
go right back to the list at the same spot he left it at. It's a long list
and I don't want the viewer to have to spend time finding the spot he was
in. Unfortunately, the back button on the browser isn't much help since it
makes you reverse scroll through all of the pictures you have already
viewed. With 30-40 pictures of some consoles it will take a long time to do
that.

Instead I'm using a simple text link ("Back") that goes back to the index
page. But, it takes you to the top and the viewer has to scroll down and
find his spot again. So, I'd like to make the Back link take them to their
previous spot in the index page, not the top. Any tips?

I'm a self taught guy, started with FrontPage and moved up to Dreamweaver.
I want the website ot be clean and simple, no big graphics or anything else.
Just a database of pictures for quick reference. Here's the index page:
http://www.japan-games.com/Database/index.html. The only links working are
at the bottom under the XBOX section (all except the Skeleton link).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
