    Need help making a photo gallery!

    (please stop deleting :), or tell me why you are, but this is where I want the thread)

    How do I make an image gallery where there are about 20 thumbnails and when you click on one, it blows it up to normal size inside the same window, and when you click on another it replaces the blown up last image with the new one you clicked.

    Thanks

    I deleted previous messages, because the way you stated the question it was a pure html/design issue. Not programming.

    It is still a design/user interface issue. So I will move it back into design & interface forums.

      You will need to use javascript and the onclick event. When you click on the small image, it will load a larger image in a seperate space on the same page. Run another onclick even so that when you click on the large image it moves on to the next image.

      When I get the chance, I'll try to get some pseudo html/js going for you.

          have you tried just using Photoshop or Fireworks to create a photo gallery? they do a Ok job or if you want them in flash you can use CoffeeCup Flash Photo Gallery.
          I hope this was helpful! :)

            I made one with just php:



            It's also set up so only certain photos are viewable by the public, but the whole thing requires a database. I have others that just dump thumbnails from a directory, with each being a link to the full-sized image that will load in a new window.

              There are some neat examples here

              csszengarden has some neat examples of photo galleries that use only css. Two notable ones are here:






              The second one even comes with a tutorial, and if you follow it and understand it, it's not too hard to read the code for the first one and make one yourself.

                NOt sure what you mean??? You want the images to open in a new window??? Why not use the "a href" tag with target=new and have it open the full size image in the new window in this fashion.

                  It is always better to use a pre designed gallery components.
