photo gallery question, recomendation

W

wallster

I'm currently using frontpage to design a website and the photo
gallery programs are too limited. I'm looking for a program that i can
make a 600-700 pixel square gallery of about 6-10 thumbnails that i
can either rollover or press on that will enlarge to a 450-600 pixel
photo. The gallery (maybe i'm using the wrong term) can be placed on
the webpage (like adding a picture or flash file).
Here's the page in question:
http://www.wallys-speed-shop.com/wally_three_motorcycles.htm
If i use the frontpage gallery program (montage style), it opens up a
parent page with the enlarged or original image (i want it on the same
page), if i use the slide show program, the thumbnails exceed the cell
width.
I like this:
http://www.chopperworks.com/silver_bike.php
I can set it up as a php page to retrieve pics from a file on the
server too.
any sugestions?

Thanks in advance,

walt

Thanks for ALL the responses... not.
I'll answer my own question for future searchers.
I found a killer site for java scripts here,
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/
Fantastic codes and a variety of helpfull info... and it's absolutly
free.
Here's the same page with some simple code added to show the photo's
in the same page.

Yeah, well I thought about answering.

But it seemed that you needed some very precise scripts to do what you
wanted.

I couldn't think of a way to do it while still using FrontPage gallery, but
I have done similar myself using JavaScript
http://tandcl.homemail.com.au/gallery.html

If your needs are similar, I could post you the code, but there is lot of it
(none of it PHP)

I just had a look at your site and you obviously do not need any help - it
works great

Glad you found what you wanted

Thanks Trevor, I wasn't bent out of shape about the lack of responses,
i realize i was asking a very broad question. I ended up writing in
the code while still using the frontpage publishing program (and
uploading the thumbs and pics to the server).
