Thumbnails

[jamesy505]

Hi, I am trying to set up a basic webpage to show off various items and would like to be able to show them as thumbnails. How do you do this?

I am currently using a trial of Cutebuilder.

Also, can anyone recommend a easy to use web building package, or better still, even a free one !!

Thanks

I prefer "notepad" for a web building package.

For thumbnails, the real way to do it is take the image, and make it smaller in your favorite graphics editing program, and then have a link to the bigger one.
simple code:
<a href="your image" target="_blank"><img src="your image thumbnail" /></a>

However, if you dont want to go through this... then you could always do...
<a href="your image" target="_blank"><img src="your image" width=thumbnailwidth height=thumbnailheight/></a>
But that will make you site forever to load, as it will load each large image, and just display it as a smaller one.

^^ Notepad sucks for making sites with 10+ pages that are the slightest bit complex, do you do web-design commericaly? I hope not... ^^


But yea the way I usualy resize thumbnails is in PHP which has GD lib built in which can do on the fly image resizing. But a while ago I used to use this free app.
