Can Frontpage do this

Running FP 2003

I visited a site and clicked onto an image to enlarge it. Instead of a back
button, or having to close the image, all I had to do, to go back to the
website, was click on the image again. I like that. Can this be done with
FP?

Thanks.

Boooooooooooooooooooo
You are absolutely right ... just checked.
Thomas, thanks for the prompt response as always.

By the way ... on this same topic....
Is there a way (in FP) to simplify thumbnails (enlarged, of course) that
will bring a visitor back to the site easily, without having to create an
extra html page. I don't need this right away. I'll be redoing a site for
someone in the not-too-distant future that will have a few galleries and I'd
like to be aware of my alternatives. When I look at how this site was
originally done, an html page for all the images was created and linked to
from the thumbnail. The origin page was then added as a link on each of
these image screens to bring the visitor back to the gallery. To me, that's
seems sooooo cumbersome ... not to mention that it had to be an
organizational nightmare. I don't mind spending the time, but it's not
where I'd like to spend it, if you know what I mean.

I'd sure appreciate your thoughts.

Diana

No, however there is a way to use a single page and pass the value for each large image to it, using
JavaScript, however I don't have or use it. But... if you can use ASP, click on the following link

You may have to be creative...

javascript:history.back()

or

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5;URL=http://previoussite.com">

or create a link at the photo page...

<P>
<a href="http://previoussite.com">
<img src=http://previoussite.com/images/jpg/photo.jpg alt="Click here to
return..." >
</a>
</P>

Hi Steve, I'm not sure what you mean by javascript, history -1.
I don't know javascript - and don't know if that helps your answer or not.

Thomas, I have to admit my ignorance on this. I haven't venture quite that
far ... not yet.
I'm running Windows XP Pro, so I'm not sure that I have support for ASP or
IIS. Diana

Under Windows XP Pro, you do once you install IIS, however it is more important that your host
support ASP if you want to use the script from my site.

that's a feature of Internet Explorer 6.

or do you mean thumbnails linking to larger images?

there's two different issues here.
I assume you may mean the second one, so yes, it can be done

insert your normal size image, right click and select 'create thumbnail'.

it will create a small version of the pic, view in your browser, click the small
image, and the larger version will open. Be sure to upload both images to your
server!

in english it basically means "go back to the previous page" and yu have a
hyperlink ....does the same thing as the 'back' button on your browser, except it
is in the web page as a link or commonly a button or image link.

If you want to go back to the previous page, this is the code: <a href="#"
onClick="history.go(-1)">

If you want to completely close the window, this is the code: <a
href="javascript:window.close()">

I use both of these, and they work. If you don't know where to put this
code, the you could set up a hyperlink going to anywhere at all, go into
code view, and substitute the above code for the other hyperlink.

You cannot do this with HTML. You need Javascript. FP is an HTML editor, not
a Javascript editor, so don't be mad at FP if you cannot do it with just a
click of the mouse.

Hope this helps.
