Hi,

Really what you want to do is start with the big picture, and create thumbnails (a smaller picture) to click on with a graphics editor (i.e. Windows Paint, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro).

Since this isn't a server-side ASP question, I'm going to move you to the HTML forum where you may get more help.

(Although you can use some programming (even javascript client-side) to aid in the process of displaying thumbnails/organizing your pictures if you number them and loop through them).

Just to expand on Whammy's reply.

Start with the image you want to display.

Resize to (say) 650 x 400 (ish)

Save as (lets make up a name) ...

pic1.jpg

Now resize the same pic to a smaller (thumbnail size) say

100 x 67

and save as.....

pic1t.jpg

Note the file name is the same except I have included a "T" in the name. This is just my way of doing it, keeps the file names easy to follow. ("T" for "thumbnail")

I assume you know how to link, but just in case...

<a href="pic1.jpg"><img src="pic1t.jpg" width="100" height="67" border="0" alt="A DISCRIPTION OF WHAT THE PICTURE IS ABOUT" /></a>

Hey presto.
