FrontPage 2002 question

[Lenda]

Redoing my site once again...... I know no one uses it anymore and I don't have time to learn another program right now, BUT, if there's anyone that can answer my question, I"d appreciate it! When I link to an auto thumbnail and it opens the larger pic in a new window, can I control the window size that opens or is that done only in other programs?

If I can't do that, is there a way that I can make a hover so that when you hover over a small pic, a larger one shows up juar qhilw you hover?

Or am I totally off my rocker thinking that I can do this in FP and need to go to dreamweaver or something. I don't have the time or money to invest in another program, I really don't want to pay someone to do it either, I know, my bad.

Hi Lenda,

I can't tell you if you can do that in FP or not. You can try and press "F1" while creating your auto image. That'll bring up the context sensitive help file for that process and maybe that will answer your question. But, if you wish, I can tell you how you can replace the code that FP creates with some code that will do what you want.

Thanks,

Lenda, I use Frontpage and I've found that there is tons you can do with it that are kinda hidden. I don't know if FP can do what you want but here is one forum:http://www.webworkshop.org/frontpage/ and you may find an answer there. If not, do a search on frontpage and thumbnail window and see if you can find something.

Well thanks for the replies Amy and Kevin!

Amy, I'll check out that forum for more hidden items, thanks for the link. LOVE to find new info on a forum to peruse. Never know what you'll find there.

Kevin. That's really nice of you! I'm not really savvy but if you can tell me the code and where to put it, I'd appreciate trying to play with it. I just don't like the window being full sized when it opens and really couldn't figuire out what to do. I've made it into a small image linked to a regular full page before (instead of an auto thumbnail ) with my logo and stuff with a larger image, but once again it has to be a full, large page and I'd rather it be the size I wanted.

EDIT: OK, so I found it, didn't take so long after all! So here it is in case someone else wants to know.

But I guess my next question is, can you use JavaScript with FP?
EDIT: I found the answer to my question, again!

Hi Lenda,

Thanks for the links. I hadn't considered using a separate javascript function to open the window as detailed in your first link. I'll check that out. The code I use is much simpler but does have the problem (if it is a problem) of extra white space on the right side of the image depending upon the size of the full sized image I'm displaying.

Here's the code you currently use in your webpage to display a linked thumbnail image, for example:

<a href="bead_images/beads.7.jpg">
<img border="0" src="bead_images/beads.7_small.jpg" xthumbnail-orig-image="bead_images/beads.7.jpg" width="100" height="100"></a>

If you replace that code with this code:

<a onclick="javascriptroductPreviewWindow=window.op en('bead_images/beads.7.jpg', 'productPreviewWin','resizable=yes,height=800,with =600, menubar=0');productPreviewWindow.focus()" href="javascript:void(0)"><img border="0" src='bead_images/beads.7_small.jpg' width="100" height="100" alt="put_image_name_here"></a>

You'll get a pre-sized window when you click on the thumbnail image. You can change the size of the window that the large image is displayed in, when clicked by a visitor, by changing this part of the code to whatever size best fits your image:

height=800,with=600'

Also, in the code above, in the first part, where it first says "bead_images/beads.7.jpg' that's the path to the full sized image that you want to open. Just change the image name as needed. Same with the second part where it says "'bead_images/beads.7_small.jpg" that's the path to the thumbnail image. In this case it looks like both the thumbnail and fullsized images are in the same folder which is named "bead_images".

You can also add and image name so that when the user mouses over the thumbnail image they see the name of the item. Just change the code "put_image_name_here" to the name of your image.

Hope this helps and feel free to let me know if I can help any more with this.

BTW, it's not torture, it's fun! Right? And isn't it more fun when you can do it yourself? <vbg>

Thanks again,

[Lenda]

Hi Kevin. Glad the links helped you too. It does explain there how to take out the white borders, now just to figuire out how to insert the code. Looks like a days work but I'm sure once I catch on to where to put the code, it'll go easy. But I think I'll have to take some new pics, I've saved them too small for this use. Thanks for writing all that code though!

What I'd love is to NOT open a new window, wish there was a way to just hover over a small thumbnail and have it just change to a larger picture. Wonder if that's just wishful thinking?

Hi Lenda,

I can show you how and where to add the code referenced in the link you gave, if you wish. Just let me know. I'm always happy to help.

To not open a new window to get a larger image there's some sample code that might do what you wish at:

Please note that the URL is misleading, there are no nudes there, simple or otherwise. <vbg>

Good luck!

Here's some talk about having text hover whne mousing over an image and the code to do it. I don't see why you couldn't change the text to an image and see if it works:

I've had that problem too, and I think the easiest thing to do is to resize the picture to a smaller size in your photo program when you crop it and name it something else (thumbbluebead) or something. If the pictures are huge (which is great if you are going to print them, but not great for a website), they come up as gigantic when the thumbnail is clicked. If the picture is smaller, it comes up smaller. I'm not savy enough to do all the java things.... Good luck. I'm going to try some of the links too, but it all looks pretty scary to me..... Susan

OMG Kevin! I think I LOVE you!

I finally got around to playing with this and changed one so far and it freaking WORKS!!!!!!!!!! You are the bomb!!! Just for the help (it was SO easy once I did it from your help) that I would LOVE to send you a bead. So if you would be SO KIND as to send me your address and which bead you like from my site, I'll send it to you as a gift!

You have NO IDEA how long I've been stuggling with this and with your code, it's done and it was so darn easy to do! Check it out, it's only the first pic Complimentary Purple and Yellow, when you click the TN, it opens in a new window!!! I've got to go to work now but will fix the rest this weekend. I am SO HAPPY!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!

Hi Lenda,

I'm very glad you found the code useful and I really want to thank you for your kind offer (all your beads are so beautiful!) but it's really not necessary to give me a bead for the little bit that I did. I do appreciate you letting me know that the code I offered helped you and if there's anything else I can do in the future, coding wise, please do let me know.

I wish you a happy and productive New Year!

Thanks again,
