how can I create an image gallery -so every image would pop in the same window?

Hi,
I'm building some image galleries for a website, and want that whenever each of the thumbnails clicked, the image (640*420) would pop in the same window, and also have that window fit the exact size of the image, without IE toolbars....

how can I do this? and must it be with JS?

thanks!

here's the gallery btw

 

Hi Shamrock - I think this is a really nice css gallery but I haven't tried it out yet...

If you don't want to try the css, this site also has lots of javascript image galleries to choose from.

 

You can check out for a script at: www.hotscripts.com lot of scripts there. I used one image zoom script but can;t remember the name ! good luck

 

thanks eskarina, but that's not quite what I'm looking for, and I couldn't find a script that matched my needs at hotscripts, it seems like the scripts there are too advanced... any other ideas?

 

Hmmmm ... if you have dreamweaver this JustSo Picture Window ...

http://www.valleywebdesigns.com/

is a nice little automated extension which will achieve exactly what you're looking for, and well worth the $7 paypal contribution.. especially if you're going to be doing a lot of pop up pics.

 

How about this?

thanks, but all of these are just too sophisticated and advanced for my needs - again - I have this gallery, and want that whenever a photo would be clicked, a new window would be opened with the large photo, without IE's toolbars...

 

1) I've used http://jalbum.net/index.jsp in the past and found it to be very easy to use and integrate into a website.

2) I'm also doing a site with a similar system you want to use. Its http://www.sandfordstudios.com/ - You have a gallery and each image opens up in to its own page.

3) While the above is just simple html and php (no JS) I am trying out a new way of having the images remain on the same page using css, which has been mentioned above and is a little bit more involved see --> http://www.sandfordstudios.com/pets/pet_photography.php

Any of these might be what you are after but if you want something that is simple, contains no JS then option 2 is what you should go for.

I would also advise that you only take that option if you only have a small number of galleries to work on. The work involved could be a litte tedious if you have a lot to do.

 

i think that a better idea would be to popup javascipt popups in the same webpage, this way you get what you want done smoothly.
for example checkout thumbnails at istockphoto

Maby that is what you are looking for

 

I am using the http://jalbum.net/index.jsp but the IE toolbar will automatic block the pop-up windows.... so any idea how to solve it ?

 

This one is great. is it free to use?
