Oh, I don't have the img tags set to specific widths....I was just saying that was an example of FP's Photo Albums.

The picture (of your daughter?) is downloaded to my computer and displayed in IE at it's original resolution, which is so large that scroll bars appear and you have to scroll around to see the whole picture. It then resizes to fit in a portion of the screen (which mine doesn't do). John W.

Yes, the img HTML marker has height and width properties, so you can set an image to appear a certain size (pixels or percent). However, the user still downloads the entire file. So technically you could make thumbnail sized images that are really full images, taking a few megs. I used FrontPage XP for my family photos. It took about an hour to build this: http://www.wolfwares.com/familyphotos. FrontPage will let you 'resize' images within it. (ie, you can resize and image, and then have FP resample the image, to save it to the write file size to match the display size.).

I have created a flash photo album with a bunch of thumbnails. When you click on any thumbnail, the photo is loaded into the browser. Because of the resolution of my camera (apparently), the picture is huge, with most of the picture off of the page. Is there any way short of saving the file back out as (perhaps) a 640 x 480 file to cause the photo to load with the whole thing viewable on the screen. I am trying to do this on my web site, to display photos of my son I have taken with my digital camera. It seems that one could use an image object, and load the picture into that image object (control) on a web page. I am using Dreamweaver. You can see what I am talking about by visiting my site and clicking the bottom button - "Meet my son". John W.
