Title: Thumbnails and Video Clips
Post by: Moi on June 05, 2006, 08:29:56 AM

I'm building a web site (non-footy) - and don't laugh pls lol.
I've just done a "Moron's Guide to Creating Websites Course" and i've managed to create my first one.  I've done all the pages, Index and the rest of them, but want to create a photo page with thumbnails you click on to expand, and also one where i can play movie clips.

Can anyone help me with this please on how to go about it.  I could ask the maestro, MT, but don't want to become a pain in the bum  every five minutes lol

I'm using Photoshop and Dreamweaver - thanx Bully  ;)

Open the original (larger) pic. Say it's called "file.jpg".  Look for in the pop-up menus where you alter the size of an image. Reduce the size to that of the thumbnail size you want. Then save this shrunken image as "file_tb.jpg".

Then add something like the following code into your website's HTML file (changing the links and filenames to what you have)

Code: [Select]

<a href="http://mysite.com/file.jpg" ><img src="http://mysite.com/file_tb.jpg" ></a>
