Hyperlink in Frontpage problem

[mrldrl]

When I add a hyperlink to a thumbnail photo to open up a larger version of that photo in Frontpage, it opens the photo in Photoshop!  Why? How can I get it to open inside my webpage?

For some reason it'd seem the pic is being seen as wanting to be edited.  Let's check out your code - post the relevant code you are using then we can check that out.  It'll help too if you put your large version pic inside another html page and call that with your link, unless you want to also open in a new window.

All you should need is something like............

Code: [Select]

<a href="largepic.htm"<img src="yourfolder/yourthumb.jpg"></a>
So clicking on thumb would take you to the new page with larger pic.

How do I get this code for you?  I clicked on the thumbnail and then switched to code mode and this is what was highlighted but I don't think this is what you want.

<img border="0" src="../2008-06-10%20New%20website/images/modest_bridesmaid/black%20front%20small.jpg" width="108" height="144" alt="link to large front photo">

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your help!

I tried connecting the thumbnail to another html page and it opened it fine.  The problem is with opening a larger photo inside the thumbnail's page.  It still just keeps sending it to Photoshop.

"How do I get this code for you? "

You should have an option to view code as well as WYSIWYG as you have demonstrated but what you posted is only the thumb image path and no hyperlink.

I suggest too - maybe just me but, do away with spaces in filenames - IMO they are a source of nuisance and trouble.  Stick to lower case and replace spaces with dashes or underscores.

You want it seems to open your larger image within same page?  Well - this will present problems and is probably why you are getting an edit pic option.  If you want to use same page then you'll have to resort to some other methods using CSS and/or JScript to make things work this way.  Seems like that might be more than you can do right now.

Much better would be to place larger image on separate page and make things easier for you.  So - if I use that image code you have already from your post and link it to another page then - that I think is way to go.  Like this - (I have gotten rid of spaces!)

Code: [Select]

<a href="your-large-pic-page.htm"><img src="../2008-06-10-New-website/images/modest_bridesmaid/black-front-small.jpg" width="108" height="144" border="0" alt="link to large front photo"></a>

Please go to this address www.eternitybridalandprom.com  Click on one of the photos and a larger photo will pop up.  This is what I want to do.  Maybe I didn't state my intentions correctly.  I just want the photo to have it's own window to pop up in within the page that they are looking at and then the customer can click on the top red X and it will close.  Instead of the large photo opening up inside their own window it kicks itself into Photoshop.


This copy below I thought had the hyperlink information.  The photo I want to send it to is the "black front large"

href="../2008-06-10%20New%20website/images/B2%20website%20Photos/web%20black%20front%20large.jpg">
                  <img border="0" src="../2008-06-10%20New%20website/images/B2%20website%20Photos/black%20front%20small.jpg" width="108" height="144">[/url]</td>
                  <td width="4[/color]" align="left" valign="top">[/font][/glow]

If I make a link to an html page it opens to that page o.k.  Is there a box I need to check to stop this Photoshop thing from happening.  Or, do I have to make an html page for every photo I want to pop up in the large version?  That will take forever!  I swear it was working fine a couple of days ago, this Photoshop opening the file up has just happened.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe each photo requires it's own page for this technique.  And, it should not take "forever", not at all.  Each of those photo pages would be the same HTML except for the specific image.  So, just copy the HTML code from one known working file to another, make the minor changes to display a different photo, and save the file under a unique name.  Or, just take that a file that's been developed for one photo and basically save it as a template for other photos, then just open that file, make the needed changes, and save it under a unique name.

Regarding your issue about clicking on photos in FrontPage and that causing a photo editor to open, try previewing your HTML file by using your web browser instead of FrontPage.  To do that, open your browser, click on File, Open ..., and navigate to your HTML file.

Thank you so much, I do believe it works now.
Have a nice day!
