Or at least something similar. This is the link to the site: Example Page (http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Chamber/2870/capshatomat.html)
Another site to reference would be this: Sci Fi Channel's Caption This! (http://prod.scifi.com/screengrab/startcaption.cgi), only the images would be set up similar to the first link, not the live feed the second one has going on. And not the password protection.

I don't know if it's working correctly or not, as the site is pretty old (hasn't been updated in almost five years).
So what I need is for when people enter their handles and captions, it automatically adds the caption to the page (which I will need to change occasionally as they fill up). For example, after 18 captions are added to page1.html, I can go in and adjust the coding so that new captions go to page2.html, and so on. Can this type of coding work with tables?

Also, is it possible to adjust the coding so that when the picture is clicked on to change the image, it just refreshes the image instead of refreshing the whole page?

Anyone able to help me out here? I don't know that much about javascript (actually very little). Thanks in advance for any help that any of you are able to provide.

Or, am I making this too difficult? Can I just copy the code, modify the links/image links as required and upload it?

I'm sure I'll have a few more questions as I go, but I just want to understand the basics right now.

By the way, I'm going to set this up on my site: My Site (http://www.captiongallery.com)
Thanks again.

Sorry, but that stuff's all done server-side. The scripts are all written in Perl, and are processed by the server so we never see them. Since we can't access the script, we can't really help you in any way. Sorry :(.

Thanks for the information. I guess I'll get a hold of the server host and see if they can/will help me.

Thanks again!

Here's my question is this: How do I make an image or text clickable - to take the clicker to a popup (small) window that has information about the image clicked on.

I have a gallery of images - but putting the info on each one would make the page crowded. So if someone wanted more information on say image 3 by clicking on either the image or the name title I wanted a small window to appear with the information requested. Then they can close this box to continue looking at the images.

Hope that explains the problem..now how do I do this? And do it as easy as possible...
