Thumbnails & text

Guest · Mar 22, 2006

I am using FP 2003. Is there any way that I can add text beside the "big"
picture after clicking on the thumbnail?

Find the link to the image
It will be something like "image.jpg"

Change this to "image.html"

Create image.html with this code

<img src ='image.jpg' alt="My Image">My Text

Hello Trevor, I was having trouble doing what you said re image.html. Can
you describe this in more detail, giving me examples. Thank you.

Ok I'll try to set it out in detail

Here is a test page. (The thumbnail is "image_t.jpg")
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<a href='image.html'>
<img src="image_t.jpg" alt="" /></a>
</body>
</html>

Here is the page image.html
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<img src="image.jpg" alt="" /> 
Some text here
</body>
</html>

This page has the reference to image.jpg and the caption "Some text here".
I have put the caption below by adding a line break ( ).
To add it beside, delete the 

By altering the text "Some text here", you can add whatever caption you want.

All Trevor means is you place the big image on a page. Then you put the
text beside it.

You can probably do this easier by making a two column table; then put the
big image in one and the caption/text in the other. Save the page as
"image.html" Then on the page with the thumbnail version of that image,
create a hyperlink from the thumbnail image to image.html

Trevor was just demonstrating the code.

I haven't see the rest of the thread, only this reply, so I could be wrong
here. My newsreader hasn't retrieved the entire discussion.

Andrew,
Hi from Canberra,
It is interesting that I posted a further reply sometime before you also replied and yet your reply seemed to indicate that you
hadn't read it.

Is this because your newsreader didn't/doesn't retrieve the whole discussion?

I use OE6 as newsreader and I delete threads that I think I no longer need. Perhaps you do the same and so only (as do I) sometimes
pick up half way through a thread (or often toward the end).

Or is it a time difference? I used to think this when similar things happened with US posters but we have only 2 hours difference
(AEST to AWST)

If you don't use OE6, I recommend it as a newsreader. The only downside that I see is that if I delete a thread and then see part of
it later and want to reply. Without seeing the whole lot, I may make a comment out of context.

One antidote for this is to keep this in "My Favorites"
http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...page.client&cat=en-us-frontpage&lang=en&cr=US
I can then open the site and search for a thread.

Trevor,

My reply was intended to be an extension of your reply to the OP about the
image and text thing - in the meantime, you've added your own reply to the
OP's ongoing questions.

Perhaps the time difference is a factor; I'm using OE6.0 and subscribed to
the group through the actual microsoft news server (news.microsoft.com)
rather than the group hosted on my ISP's news server.

Yeah, well I do the same - OE6 through the actual microsoft news server (news.microsoft.com), that is

I must admit that sometimes I fall into the trap of answering the original post before noticing that someone else has answered.

In this case perhaps it wasn't so, so the OP got lots of help (we hope).

Have a good Sunday out in the west. I think you are the only (Australian) state with sunshine forecast

Dear Trevor,
Hello , I tried a few time to make it work out, but I am missing something.
This is the html file - I created a new page file and inserted the graphic
and added text, and saved it as blue_hearts.html - I had no trouble with this.

<html>

<head>
</head>

<body>


<img border="0" src="images/blue_hearts.JPG" width="749" height="855">

Blue
Hearts
oil on
canvas
40 x 36"
2005

</body>

</html>

..................................................
This is the page that has the graphic on -

It is a page which has many graphics on it in a table. One section which
describes images/blue_hearts is as follows.

<a href="images/blue_hearts.JPG">
<img border="0" src="images/blue_hearts_small3.JPG"
xthumbnail-orig-image="images/blue_hearts.JPG" width="190" height="216"></a>

Thank you for the time you have spent on this.

This page looks fine as I am sure you ahve found.

There is just one change needed
<a href="blue_hearts.html">
...........

The href has to point to where "blue_hearts.html" is located. I have assumed it is on the same directory as the page with the
thumbnails.

Thank you for the time you have spent on this.

That's fine. If this doesn't work (it should), we'll keep trying.

Oh Wow, it worked! so impressed. Your reminder that a hred point to the
graphic was what I needed, reading comprehension was a problem there. Thank
you so much for the detailed description of both pages, that was a key for
me.
