I have asked this question a couple of differnt ways & I haven't asked it the
correct way yet, I guess, so here I go again. Here's what I want my gallery to
do: when a visitor clicks on a thumbnail I would like the image to pop up on
the same page. My thumbnails & images are linked but the image comes up on its
own page. I would rather have it work similar to a rollover. I tried the
rollover but could not get the thumbnail to enlarge. How do I make it work so
the visitor never leaves the gallery? My website www.claymakins.com is my first
& at 60 maybe my only, but I do love the challenge. I hope the problem makes
more sense now, Thanks...Barb

Do you want the enlarged image to appear when the user moves their mouse "over"
the thumbnail, or when they actually "click" the thumbnail?

You could try Lightbox, it's an application I use quite often for galleries.

why not give a link to some page that shows us what you want? Technically, a
"pop up" doesn't so much "pop up on a page", it creates a new browser window
separate from the page you just clicked on. I think what's happening is
you're using some terminology that *you* know what you mean by it, but is
defined by the industry as something else (and that has happened to most of
us at one time or another). So what would work best is for you to give us a
link to some site that already does what you want so people can give you the
answer you're looking for.

That's what "pop ups" do, but on your site it's not so much "coming up on
its own page" as you're just linking to the larger image and that will just
show the image in the same browser window, just like if you were linking to
another page on a site, but since that image is not within an actual page,
you just get the image and a lot of blank space.

I'm coming into this thread late, so this may have already been discussed,
but have you looked at any Gallery solutions? perhaps this:
http://www.projectseven.com/products.../ssm/index.htm
or this: http://www.projectseven.com/products...agic/index.htm ?

BTW, you'll want to remove all the spaces in the file names of your pages.

I've also used Lightbox and it works great.

I don't work or own stock in the company but I also like Projectseven's
"Image Gallery Magic" extension . It's not free but it is wicked simple to
use.

Check it out: http://www.projectseven.com/index.htm

I love IGM, and while I don't work for them or own stock I do use their
extensions extravagantly!

How? I'm looking at the 'examples' here
http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/
and none of the images work in any way! Is it something that works only on
IE? or am I missing something? I'm using Firefox 2 which should be supported
by anything released on 5/21/07 (as posted on the website)

The site is hosed.

Try http://americanwatercolorsociety.org....php?year=2008 - click on
an award winner's name.... That's DIVAPopGold.

Try http://www.paragonlandscapingcorp.com/p_portfolio.php - click on a
thumbnail. That's Lightbox. Note that you can cycle through the images by
hovering over the image and using the NEXT/PREV tabs that appear.

Try http://wildimages.biz/wi_gallery-wil...llery=Wildlife - click
on any of the thumbnails. That's ImageGalleryMagic. It's awesome.

You bet!

Very impressive, shame they can't get it to work on their own site :-(
Still Lightbox appears to be free so may be worth giving it a try...

It certainly is! Who develops ImageGallery Magic?
