Making a photoalbum
Okay.. so I'm trying to make a photoalbum. Here's a peek.
I've got to edit the sizeing of the tables a bit, but not biggy there.
My thing is this... that first cell (the spanning one) is where the image will show..
Right now it's an iframe (unscrollable) that each link is targeted to show the image.
My question(s) is this.
1) Can I set the iframe to show images at a certain size to fit within the frame without resizing the images in a paint program?
A) can I also make it so that the image can be clickable so that the fullsized image may be viewed?
B) can I do this w/o making a new html page? (if not, no biggy)
2) Can I do all the above using a div layer instead of an iframe?
A) If so, how do you make links open in a div layer?
If all the things I ask are impossible, tips are more than welcomed

Yes - check code snippet
A) can I also make it so that the image can be clickable so that the fullsized image may be viewed?
yes
B) can I do this w/o making a new html page? (if not, no biggy)
possibly using document.write() in Javascript
2) Can I do all the above using a div layer instead of an iframe?
yes
A) If so, how do you make links open in a div layer?
the way I always did it was have preset divs positioned in the place i want it, and set the CSS style to "display: none", and when i wanted it to show, i'd set "display: block". or you can go with the document.write javascript.
if you go the div layer route, just link the image to its original version.

or can I use this to keep it the right size in the Iframe?
I'd really hate to have to create an individual page for every image. I have a lot, and I'm sure more to come. I'd rather just tell it to grab the image and be done with it.

basically its like this, if you want a nice customized frilly looking gallery, you're going to have to learn a lot more javascript, html, and even PHP would make it WAY easier.
if you want to have a hassle free gallery, go install coppermine. or gallery, or 4images.
