How to in FrontPage?

I am laying out booth spaces for an event. I have the layout in a table with
each cell being a booth and each booth numbered. I want to be able to click
on a cell and display with a popup or something similar the name of the
business that is renting the booth space and a variety of information such as
address, phone and a link to their website. There are 100 booths so I don't
want a different page for each and I don't want to create one page with all
the names as bookmarks making it easy for competition to print a master list.
Any suggestions for an easy way to do this in FrontPage 2003. thx lltgdp
 
You could use a form with one radio button per booth and then write an ASP
program to interpret which radio button was selected. The ASP program runs
on the server (it's hidden from the user) and the user only sees what the
ASP program returns. The ASP program could return a link based on which
Radio button was clicked or it could actually redirect to a new page.
The redirect syntax is :
Response.Redirect http://www.somewhere.com

If the page is running on a server that supports ASP, you can create a
database solution - the FrontPage Database Results Wizard should cater
for this application.
 
Perhaps with a Database? Use the Database results wizard.

So each "cell" or booth has a link to an asp page which calls the query such
as

http://www.yoursite.com/booth.asp?business=IBMcomputers then you can use the
pop-up Spawn addin from jimcoaddins.com to do the popup window thing you
wanted.

if you're not that-way minded (i.e. database stuff is not your forté, then
one of the long-handed ways you've mentioned already might have to do)

It still means quite a bit of work to enter 100 records into the database.
