No no no, by all means, the more the better. Like I said I'm here to learn, observe, etc. You can't ever have too much

Your linke to the horse gallery is along the lines of what I was talking about with the rollover images, it was weird though. It was almost like alternate text on a link or image, except instead of text it was an image and it was instant.

Cool! Then you probably don't need the info below.

One last thing... I don't know the sites where a moused-over image follows your cursor (shudder).

I have a websites I'm making for another artist (ignore the design, it's sooooo far from being done).

This uses layers for the rollover so text can be included with the picture. http://cardinalart.com/JudiBarraza/artwork.php?gallery=horses

I also have a portfolio page http://cardinalart.com/Portfolio.shtml where I use links (which could just as easily be thumbnail images) to simply bring up a new picture.

Are either of those what you are speaking of?

PS: I'm really not trying to self promote here, just show examples. If this is too much I appologize.

Oh man that's perfectly what I'm looking for, I mean the only other thing would be a close script but you know what, fuggem lol, they can click the X

Thanks so much for the help

Take a look at this site http://www.crays.com/jsc/

Click on "Pop-up Windows and Pop-up Images" then "Pop-up Images". Maybe this is what you want?

Are you working off a database (php or asp) or html pages for your thumbnails?

crazyjim — Fri, 13 Aug 2004 16:36:49 +0000

Yea but not quite, see what I'm tryin to do here is make it so I don't have to make 250 seperate html files, each one for a picture. I've even seen some code where you mouse over the thumbnail and it shows a larger picture, but it moves with the mouse, etc etc it's sorta gay. But do you know if theres any way to tweak that code to work?

Like I said, I am le sucky at java lol

Are you talking about a pop-up window?
Remember, this may not work for a lot of people.

In the head section of your page:

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;<!--
function popupwindow(url,name,wwidth,wheight) {
window.open(url,name,'width='+wwidth+',height='+wheight+',scrollbars=auto,status=no');
}
// -->
&lt;/script&gt;

On your thumbnails:

<a href="javascript:popupwindow('LINK to PAGE','000',WIDTH,HEIGHT);">
<img src="LINK to IMAGE" alt="" width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT" border="0"></a>

On the bottom of the pop-up window:
<a href="javascript:window.close()"><b>Close this Window</b></a>'

PS: that doesn't close the window by clicking the image... it has a "Close this window" link. You can put the last javascript around your image to close it by clicking on the image, but you should add a note saying "click image to close this window". I think a simple "close this window" link might be less confusing.
