NEW MENU SYSTEM

I have recieved comments about the use of javascript menus for Needaloo. Some browsers issue pop up warnings about javascript, even though the javascript used by Needaloo is harmless I accept this is a problem for some users.

Some antivirus software also flags up javascript as a potential Trojan Virus gateway.

For these reasons I have decided to replace all javascripts on Needaloo. Obvious this is going to take a while, so please bear with me during this transission.
Many thanks

MAPS

For general locations I have used Streetmaps. When you click on loo linked to Streetmap, the location is shown by this yellow arrow

Where I know the exact location of a loo I have used Google Maps. When you click on a loo that is linked to Google Maps, you will see a map with the this blue Google marker , this marker is the exact location of the loo.

Both maps are easy to print off.

If you look in the top right hand corner of the Google map there is a box with 3 choices, if you click on 'Satellite' the map will change to an aerial photo. This may help you in finding the loo.

MENUS

Needaloo uses 3 types of navigation (menus)
1). The main part of Needaloo uses a menu that sits at the top of the page. To go to a page, just click on the link and you will go to the page you have requested.
 

2). The index page of each country has a drop down menu. To go to a County of your choice, click on the black arrow on the box that has 'Select County' written in it, a list will open up, scroll down until you find the County you want, click the County name and you will go to the County of your choice.
 The County index pages also have a drop down menu, the procedure is the same for the Country Index pages.  

County

Town

3). The links within the County pages are all text links. Say you want to find out where the Disabled loos are in Harrogate. You need to select England, then North Yorkshire, then Harrogate. On the Harrogate page the loo locations are in blue, these are links to Streetmap and will open in a new window. 


Maps for the Channel Islands and Northern Ireland are from Google Maps.

Click this for more information on the location that it is next to and you will find details about facilities and photos

LINKS

The links on this site are mainly text links. If the link is within Needaloo, the the page changes to the page of your choice. If the link is to a page or site outside Needaloo than a new page will open, when you have finished with the page, you just close it and Needaloo is still there.

Country Search

The Country Search is just that, a search of each Country and NOT the internet. Each country has it's own Site Search and will only search that particular country. Except the Isle of Man, which has one page with all loos on it.
To use the Country Search, type in the town or location you are looking for and a list of pages containing your search word will appear.
Warning.
I if you type in say, Leeds, you will get Leeds, Nelson and Idle, this is because Nelson and Idle both have a Leeds Road.
