Hi,
I am in the process of building our website, I am using Serif Pageplus 11.
I have copied pictures to a page and reduced them in size to fit many on a page. My intention being you can click on photo and it enlarges. I have tried this in test but it fails to enlarge. Any Ideas please?

TIA

Steve

Hi Steve

I have made many websites but I have not used the package you are talking about.

Not sure if the way I do it is best but basically I put two pics on the site, one is the small thumbnail size pic that is hyperlinked to another larger pic that is hiding away on another page. This other page is designed to open in another window so that when the viewer closes it the origonal page with the thumbnails is still there.

I am sure there might be better ways of doing it. Dave (656) is an expert as is Snelly

Nice one, Bob. I looked at your website a while ago, and noticed the flash-based photo album. Really nice and simple, and I like the fact it doesn't cover the thumbnails with the main image. The only thing I'm not sure about is the use of Flash, especially as I have a problem at work just now with a Flash9 update not registering properly. Jalbum is definitely worth a look.

Steve - why go for free hosting? I've found they're sometimes more trouble than they're worth. I use

from time to time for a quick website - you can do all the design online, so you don't have to create it and upload it, and most of the hard work is done for you. Oh, and it's free.

PM me if you want to discuss it further, Steve.

I am very interested in this subject, very accomplished with publisher and have many pics on laptop used with the normal slideshow, just now I have problem - my husband bought me a Hanns 19" lcd monitor for xmas but with a widescreen laptop the reproduction on monitor is distorted. Is the only answer to buy widescreen monitor? The idea was to make viewing easier. Also which is true - widescreen or the normal monitor reproduction? (TV's seem to vary too)
Thanks, Wendy

You will have link the pictures to url like -

<a href="images/YOURPIC.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="images/YOURPIC.jpg">

or failing that I have a script that on mouse over the image enlarges as on

Cheap hosting doesnt mean they are good, best going for recommendations, I used to use a UK hosting site (cheap) and our site was down (offline) so many times I moved it, now offering my own hosting but recommend

You need to alter the screen resolution. Most standard 4/3 screens use 1024 X 768 resolution. Your widescreen lappie probably has a 1280 X 768 setting.
