Hi Thijs,
as you perhaps remember I'm using gallery pages a lot and a page normally
has between 50 - 100 photos each. Many visitors asked for going to show next
enlargement directly without having to close the actual one first and then
pick on the next thumbnail. As you know my html skill is not at that level
it should be. Do you have any advice for me to achive what the visitors of
my site are asking for?

Here is an example site with more sophisticated functionality than I'm
asking for:

http://www.toprun.ch/truck/Mega_Middle-East_Run/index.html and than pick one
of the headers

Kind Regards
PER T.

Hi Per,

The easiest way to build something like this is to create a new asp file.
When a visitor of your site clicks on one of the image in the gallery, you
open this new asp file in a new window and provide the pageId, gallery name,
an number of the image that was clicked on as parameters.

The new asp file should do the following:
1) show the large version of the image based on the provided pageid, gallery
name and counter.You can use the "Get_GalleryImageURL" function for this
(see help)
2) print a next and a previous button at the top/bottom. These buttons link
to the same asp file with the same pageid, gallery name and the counter plus
one or the counter minus one respectively.

Sounds logical?

A believe a collegaue of mine build something simmilar like this a while
ago. I'll see if I can track down the work he has done and send it to you.

Regards,
Thijs

Thanks a lot Thijs!
I understand the method but I'm looking forward to see if you find what your
collegaue did. If you send something to me and I'm not answering, the reason
is that I'm out of Internet area for a week (hiking in the mountains).

Greetings Per,
Was wondering if you ever got this functionality working as you desired.
Seems like I'm in about the same situation you were in when you asked for
this help. I just got users onto my first Electos site -- mainly to display
Gallery type pages. Very early on they asked about being able to go from
one photo to another.

Thanks,
Joe

Check here

and press any photo to see if this is the sort of functionality you are
looking for.
