iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 23, 2005 What would you say is the best method of displaying pictures? I have 'preview' samples of my pictures, that i want to use as thumbnails. So when you click the small thumbnail it will show you the full size pic. That is easy to upadte (add more pics) I have a few ideas but i was wondering if anyone could suggest their prefered method of doing this. I have dreamweaver also.Thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 23, 2005 at the moment i have stuck with using just a normal table in dreamweaver. I am not totally happy though, i wanted a nicely spaced out thumnailed picture display, so when you click on the mini pics it will open the full size picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 6, 2005 I prefer to have full sized images that are compressed very well. That way visitors dont have to click once for each individual picture. Or medium pics that can be clicked on to super enlarge them for small detailed pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 6, 2005 If you're using .JPG pictures, just upload de big one, and at the "preview" you put its size smaller. Example:- smile.jpgOriginal size: 500*200pixAt the "preview" you put in the HTML code: <a href="smile.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="smile.jpg" width="50" height="20"></img></a>(In this code it's also included the link to the original sized image in a blank window)That way (since .JPGs don't take much space) you would upload just one image, the original one.I hope this helps you "preview": small sized image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second, you cite JPG as a good way to store images, since they take up less space. This is true, but it's at the expense of quality. If you've ever seen a 1024x768 image compressed with JPG, you'll know it's horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
