You would need a list of the images.
Either using the FSO to loop through the folder to get the image names or by using a database or file to store the image names.

A database would be best for this as the recordsets are very compatible with recordset paging.

What you can do is put your list of images into an array and then have variables for how many there are, how many you want to display and what number you are up to.

You can use use the querystring to tell the script where in the array to start and where to end outputting images.
You can also create links for Prev - Next etc.

i want tht if number of images increase automatically another page should b created and images should b placed.

is it possible??? if yes plz guide me how to do tht .

You don't need to create another page. The querystring tells the script which images to display.

Look into Recordset Paging to get an idea of the process.

If you have an array of the image names and a number you want per page you can have it all done on the fly by selecting 45 - 60 or whatever (that would be page 3 on 15 per page.. start = 3*15, end = 4*15 or however many there are if there arent 60.) pumping it into a database just to use adodb.recordsets would be total overkill for this.
