Can I make a thumbnail picture enlarge?

[Paul Hoberg]

I want to put a few thumbnail pictures on a page, then if the
viewer clicks on one of them, that one becomes larger, in a
separate pop-up window that can be closed to return to the
original page of thumbnails. Can I do that with FrontPage 2000,
and if so, how? I've checked 3 books and on-line help...
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Go to View, then Tool Bars, then put a check beside Pictures.

Now, insert the pictures on the page instead of thumbnails and use the picture
tool bar to make each a thumbnail. Now save the page. As it saves, it will
list all the referenced photos. Now when you view in Preview, when you click
on a thumbnail, the original photo will popup in another screen.

I do mine a little differently, but I do know some code.

Sure you can do that with frontpage pretty easily.

First of all prepare all your pictures, making a thumbnail version of each
full-sized image. You will need to do this with photoshop, fireworks or some
other image-editing software.

Once this is done, make up a page that displays each of the thumbnails.

Next, make a separate page for each of the full-sized images.

Then, go back to your page of thumbnails and make each one of the thumbs a
link to the page that displays the coresponding larger image. (click on the
thumb, insert hyperlink, choose the page for the matching picture, set the
target frame for new page)

that should do it

good luck

Ignore my previous post. Follow Tom J's advice...same effect but MUCH
easier.

Thank you for the good help, Tom. Another question. After the
viewer clicks on the thumbnail, and makes the picture large, is
there any way, other than clicking "back", to go back to the
thumbnails? It is not another, overlaid window. It is the same
window. I can only use the back button to get back Separate
question - is there a way to "stitch" two jpg pictures together,
aligning and sizing the pictures so they match up exactly? Or
should I ask this as a separate question in this news group?

Paul

I would ask the question in a new thread. I have no problem with the large
photo popping the same window, because you have to click something to get back
to the original page anyway. Also go to a photo newsgroup to ask about
stitching adjoining photos together. That requires separate software.

Thanks again, Tom. I solved the stitching problem. I add both
pictures to a blank landscape page in WordPerfect. I size, crop,
and move them until they align (overlap slightly) exactly - a
little tedious, but not a big deal. Then I use a share-ware
screen snapshot program to clip the exact piece of the picture(s)
I've combined, and save that snapshot at maximum density, as a
jpg. Easy, and uses stuff I already have and am comfortable with.

The "back" button works fine, and is "instant". It is maybe just
not quite intuitive enuf for casual web browsing persons. I guess
I'll throw in a comment about it.

Tom, if you will email me your address, I'll share the domain name
of the stuff I'm doing. I don't want to put it out here for the
world.
