Good day to all,

I'm thinking of making a report that would be more visual and more easily navigated. To do this, I think the model of 'one generation' excluding siblings on each page would do the trick. The basic layout of the page would be something like this:

-------------------------------------
|names | parents |
|list | |
|bar | current selected Info |
| | spouse individual |
| | |
| | children |
-------------------------------------

The figure above hopefully shows the idea (ignore the blank lines in between). All of these 'objects' would be pictures with just first name below the picture of which selected individual bigger/highlighted, except 'Info', which is not a picture but a short description of the selected invidual (like Full name, birth, death, and other basics). Clicking on the 'selected individual' image would open a page with full information available. Clicking on any other picture would lead to same kind of page with that person in the center.
So actually this would change the 'architecture' of the report as well as the roles of family.htm and individual.htm a bit while this would provide all the main information on one page. Problems that I can think of is including family pictures - where should they be put? Anyway, this kind of report would serve my purposes well and probably others' too. At least one can consider this as a choice. What do you think?
One more problem is that I don't know very well how to do this, so any help from anyone is appreciated. Smile And ideas are always welcome.

Another idea is to turn the genogram upside down, into a tree. Many people like to think genogram as a family tree, where ancestors are 'the ROOTS of the family' and therefore descendants go up, higher in the tree. Children are leafs of the tree.
