Hi again friends. I posted on this forum a long time ago when I had a problem with a form. Now I come to ask again ...

How can I create a thumbnail for a site, like those in forums? I have about 100 pictures, each big as 800x600 and the only way of putting them on my site is to make a little thumbnail for each picture..... but I'm confused on how to do it :(

Can someone please help me out?
Thank you very much

Well you need some sort of graphics program to reduce the img size. While it's possible to reduce display size with HTML, no one ever does. Your page would take 2 forevers to load with that many files of that size. So you reduce the image size, then just display them like you would any other images.

You are absolutely right! I wonder why haven't I been thinking at that before... thanks again!

So its like putting an <a href="picture.jpg"><img src="picture_resized"></a>, no?

More like:<a href="picture.jpg" type="image/jpg><img alt="Full sized image of Bettie Page in the all-together." src="picture_resized"></a>Ok, the "type" attribute isn't necessary but fun. The "alt" attribute, which supplies an alturnative text for when the image cannot be displayed, is necessary.

I'll use your example then.
But I think you forgot to add a " at the end of the type attribute, just a typo.

Thank you
