The NAME INDEX organizes products alphabetically by name. In order to decrease load times there's a separate page for each letter of the alphabet.

The CATEGORY INDEX separates the products by category and then alphabetically within each category. There are two versions of this list, one that loads separate pages for each category, and the FULL INDEX that loads all listings on one page. The separate pages will save you time if you only intend to look in one or two categories, but the FULL INDEX is better if you want to do a lot of browsing. With this page you can jump and scroll freely through the entire index without having to reload any data. This page will take longer to load initially, though, it's over 150K!

Finally there's the PERSONALITY INDEX that allows searching by any well-known personality who appears in an infomercial. Like the category index it comes in two versions. The first calls up small individual pages with products associated just with the selected personality. The second, the FULL INDEX, is the same one mentioned above that lists all products, sorted by category with a link list to the personalities. In the frames version of the FULL INDEX the right frame contains the same page for both category and personality searching. You can switch back and forth between the category and personality link lists in the left frame without reloading that huge Full Index file in the right frame. The non-frames version has category links at the top and personality links at the bottom of the same page.

It's a lot easier to use than it sounds here. Try it, you'll catch on really fast.

Both the frames and non-frames versions perform the same functions and contain the same information. The main differance between the two is the frames version is split into separate windows (frames) allowing independently scrollable lists of the main index data on the right and indexing word links on the left. This allows you to scroll through the index while leaving the index links stationary in the other frame. When jumping to a new index link it's only necessary to load the new page in the right frame. That lefthand link frame can stay put. Frames also allow us to keep navigation links visible at the top of the screen at all times.

OUR FRAMES ARE FRIENDLY

If you've visited sites using frames before you know that not all sites code frames in a user friendly way. We have endeavored to make ours as FRIENDLY as possible. That is, clicking on links will NOT open additional windows and will usually replace the entire window with your new destination. You will not be left with pieces of our site and you will not be viewing other sites through one of our frames. The only exception to replacing the contents of the entire window is when we switch the index link list on the left to another type that still uses the same main index page on the right. That's one of the NICE things about frames, there's no need to reload what's already there when making changes to other parts of the screen.
