Controlling the background and position on Photo Galleries

[Viken Karaguesian]

HI all,

I want to redo the pictures section of one of my websites. I want to
use one of the built-in photo galleries available in FrontPage 2003. I
use a patterned background on my website. It's just simple patterned
image that's tiled.

What I don't like is: when I click the thumbnail the image comes up on
a plain white background, and it's not centered on the page. This also
happens if I choose "auto thumbnail" as opposed to a photo gallery. I
want the image to come up with the same background as the rest of the
website and I want it to be centered.

How can I go about doing this? I suppose I could use a CSS, if I knew
the right commands. Thanks for any replies.

Viken K.

You have to actually insert each large image on a page that includes your background image, then you
have to change the link from the thumbnail image to point to the page for the larger version of the
thumbnail. However you can't do this when using the Photo Gallery component.

you really cant do it via either of the methods you've mentioned.
look at the address bar in your browser on one of these "pages" without
background and you'll see that it's not a page at all, but simply the
picture itself being shown in a browser window.
you may want to look at using an "outside" gallery making application.
Image editors have them usually built in, they're fairly easy to bring into
a FrontPage web.
there's a real nice one at www.photomeister.com
