Can I get photo gallery in fp2002 to open images in a new window

[Guest]

When using the horizontal photo gallery layout I would like each image to
open in a new window which is just the size of the image and not a whole new
internet explorer window. Does anyone know of a way to acheive this.

Go to jimco software and download and install the free addin named Spawn.
www.jimcosoftware.com

Other than that it takes a lot of hand scribed javascript.

Use Dreamweaver ! makes it a breeze to do!
no disrespect to MSFP - which I Do use more than anything else.

Thanks for that suggestion
I have downloaded Spawn and it looks like a cool bit of software but I can't
quite work out how to use it within a photo gallery. I dont seem to be able
to use spawn within the photo gallery properties menu. Is there another way
of using it
Should I just try and create my own gallery with pop-ups

I am going to try a trial of Dreamweaver.
Can I use both Dreamweaver and Front page at the same time to get different
results in one website or do I have to stick with one piece of software. I
have used Front page since 1997 but am beginning to get a little frustrated
with its limitations. However I have very little knowledge of HTML. If you
use both, how do you think they compare it terms of ease of use

Use spawn to create the photo gallery.
don't try to edit an existing photo gallery.

You can also create a photo gallery with the free IrfanView.

Takes a little editing though.

Why not download the free trial of Expression Web? You will find it is just
like FrontPage and nothing like FrontPage... be sure to set it up correctly
however, this will help. It is much cheaper than dw and you can pay the
update price if you have fp.

Setting up Expression Web Ebook ( Fr*ee )

It will give you all you need and more .. and the learning curve (if you can
only use bots) will be less than the one with DW because your used to the
layout and how things are done.

You could try expression web (as an alternative to Frontpage or Dreamweaver)
EW is the product following on from Frontpage (but it is *not* a near
version of Frontpage - very different, steeper learning curve but better in
the long run - but it doesn't have the photo gallery component at all (and
that's a good thing....because the photo gallery in FP was prone to having
problems).

Far better solutions for photogalleryies exist, including JAlbum (Google
it) among others, and often (very often) recommended on this group as an
alternative to the FP photogallery). JAlbum creates the web page(s) for you
with the links to/from the thumbnail versions of the pics.

Anyway, it's a good choice to experiment with
