changing background of "big" photo galley pics

[Guest]

I know how to change the background color for regular pages. When I tell
FrontPage to auto-thumbnail a picture (as you probably know), it creates he
thumbnail image and writes this html code

<p align="center"><a href="images/training%20photos/LP%20Gas20Training.jpg">
<img border="0" src="images/training%20photos/LP%20Gas%
20Training_small.jpg" xthumbnail-orig-image="images/training photos/LP Gas
Training.jpg"></a>

I am assuming that the "xthumbnail-orig-image" is the command for the
browser to open the picture (the big version) in a new window. My problem is
that new window has a white background. How can I change this background?

you can't using the auto-thumbnail approach.

just create separate pages formatted the way you want for big pix, and make your own thumbnails to link to the big ones.

Not possible when using the Photo Gallery.

You would have to create a standard page with thumbnails images, then insert the larger images on to
individual pages, then change the link from the thumbnail image pointing to the large image to the
page with the large image.

Thanks for the quick reply! That is helpful to know.

I still have an issue. Even by using html, how do you tell the browser to
make the background black when it opens the bigger image? I know you can
probably throw a "bgcolor=black" somewhere. Here is my code now:

<a href="images/training%20photos/LP%20Gas%20Training.jpg"><img border="0"
src="images/training%20photos/LP%20Gas%20Training_small.jpg"></a>

You must insert the large image on a page, and then link to that page from the thumbnail image.
Currently you are linking directly to the image file, and you can not change the default background
of the browser window.
