HTML help for new site?

[draconis]

I've seen web pages with photos set up a particular way, and I'd like to do something similar.

What I'm trying to duplicate is the sites where you have a row of thumbnail-sized photos, and if you click on one of them, a full-sized version appears in a designated spot on the same page. Click another thumbnail, and the previous full-sized image is replaced with the new one.

Can anyone point me at information on how to do this?

Thanks!

Dreamweaver 8 has an option under the "Command" menu to "create a web photo album". Using this requires that Fireworks also be installed, but the long and short of it is: you have an image that's linked to a second, larger one. It can be linked in such a way that on the mouseclick, the larger picture is shown automatically via a Javascript. I haven't had a need to do so because, well, it's just as easy to link to Flickr or my Kodak EasyShare Gallery, and if I feel like I need to create a web album, I use the Dreamweaver command option.

There are freeware/shareware programs that are available (such as Gallery on sourceforge.net) if you don't feel like getting into the coding aspect of creating said web photo album.
