how to install a back link when using auto thumbnail?

Is there a way to specify that when a page viewer clicks on a auto thumbnail
to add a link to take them back to the previous page? Or, can I specify it
to open in a new page? The problem is, after a viewer clicks a thumbnail, if
they click the 'x' it closes their browser completely. Hope this makes
sense? Thanks for helping a rookie!

To add the "back to previous page" link you will need to modify the
thumbnail link to open a page - the new page will contain the large
image and the link.

To open a new window, modify the thumbnail links to include a target
frame.
In Code view right click on the thumbnail and choose Hyperlink
Properties.
Click Target Frame and choose "New Window" - this will add _blank to
target setting.

In code view, add target="blank" to the link:
<img target="_blank" src="pictur2_small.jpg" width="150" height="120"
alt="Thumbnail for Picture dialogue" title="Click to enlarge">

Worked like a charm.
To open a new window, modify the thumbnail links to include a target
frame.
In Code view right click on the thumbnail and choose Hyperlink Properties.
Click Target Frame and choose "New Window" - this will add _blank to
target setting.

Thanks!!!
