Can I set an image\thumbnail to open up on clicking it, with a d.

I would like to be able to open an Image\thumbnail, with a different action,
for example- see the image gradually open up from thumbnail to full image and
visa versa.
Can any one help please help?

Do you mean that you'd like to DISPLAY an image? You don't open images in a
browser; you display them. The browser doesn't open them either; it
downloads them. This would require an animated GIF file, SWF, or some other
client-side application to do.

Typically, when FP adds thumbnails to an image, it is simply creating a
thumbnail that links to the image. There aren't really any effects that you
could do when showing just a plain image. You could instead link it to a
page and add some transition effects and place the linked image in that page
and change the link on the thumbnail to point to the new page. Basically
though, there aren't going to be many good effects like this that you can do
with an image simply because of the limitations of the web and the variety
of web browsers out there. Some sites do this by having an image
photogallery in a flash animation, where they can do more, but creating with
Flash can be cost prohibitive, not to mention it comes with a good learning
curve for all it's features.

Hope this helps,

the easiest way i can think of to do what you want is with flash. if you can
get yourself flash mx it's actually quite easy to do if you do just want it
done once give me an email i could whip it up in a couple of minutes

easiest way i can think of to do what you want is in flash. If you can get
yourself macromedia flash mx it's actually very easy to do. If it's a once
off thing I could do it in a couple of minutes email me and i'll see what I
can do

FrontPage can't do it natively. You're looking at a DHTML or Flash solution
for displaying your images.

Look up the script I posted here recently for cycling images. It also
has a transition script that will do as you want. IE only.

Yeah, I should have mentioned Flash. It's actually better to use than either
ActiveX (IE only) or Java applets (which may not be supported by the
browser).
