I am trying to make a website and have found something we cant do. Mr Rowling can't figure it out as well. Mr Rowling is our teacher. We are still using htmal. I have put some little photos on my opening index page. They look nice. I want it so that when I click on one of those little photos, it will appear further up the page but much larger. Mr Rowling says it is called something like a target space or area, but he doesn't know how to make the comuter do it. Mr Rowling is not a computer teacher, but is only helping out. Can anyone tell us how we make a href instruction to make the photo open up the page higher?

Hey Squibby,

Popping up an image from a thumbnail like that is not usually something done only with HTML. A common method is to use Javascript to do this function. For example there's a tool (free) called Lightbox (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/) that I suspect is the kind of thing you're thinking of? You might see if you can download it from there and get it working... I bet everyone would be impressed :)
