Here http://www.preferredcountry.com/Williamson/Kingston.htm is a photo
gallery generated by FP 2003 that works OK - it has a DWT attached. Here
http://www.preferredcountry.com/Williamson/Kingston2.htm is the same gallery
but with ONE additional photo inserted - as you'll see, there is a problem
with second version. Any additional photos after those loaded in
Kingston.htm hits the problem. Is it FrontPage misbehaving when it hits a
critical number? Anyone have a solution?

All help gratefully accepted and acknowledged.

TIA

Part of the code is missing on the second page (the one that's broken). On
the working page it has:

<!--webbot bot="PhotoAlbum"
u-include="../photogallery/photo00007003/real.htm" clientside tag="BODY"
startspan -->
<picture file-href="../photogallery/photo00007003/real_p.htm" />
<picture file-href="../photogallery/photo00007003/real_x.htm" />
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="fpGalleryTable_6956">

On the second page it only has:

<!--webbot bot="PhotoAlbum"
u-include="../photogallery/photo00002601/real.htm" clientside tag="BODY"
startspan -->

Try removing and then re-inserting the Photo Gallery on the second page.
 
Thanks, David - I should have checked the code. However - if FP keeps doing
it, why isn't there a fix out I wonder? Do you think that, above a certain
limit, FP Photogallery just gives up, and one has to get in and code as you
suggest?

Many thanks - I appreciate your help.

Many thanks, Eleanor - too late tonight (I'm in Tennessee at the moment -
last lived in Brisbane!) but will check it all out tomorrow... Again, many
thanks - I did look at your page on photogalleries...

That's a quirky component. Try JAlbum or

I honestly don't know if there's a limit to the Photo Gallery. I never use
it. I just happened to notice the code difference. I prefer to use
server-side scripting (ASP) to generate photo gallery's (like catalog pages
for an e-commerce site)

I have actually written my own (on http://tandcl.homemail.com.au/) using
JavaScript and HTML. I admit that by the time I put in lots of bells and
whistles, it got a bit complicated and so it isn't easy to send the code to
anyone (e.g. by posting it here). But the principles are every
straightforward.

It doesn't use ASP (this site doesn't allow it). What advantage does ASP
have ?
 
David - when FP creates the gallery, it's OK on my local disk, and previews
fine in a browser. BUT, when published to my host, it does this crazy
thing, and won't allow the re-insertion of code, so far as I remember.

There is a limit on Unix servers of about 35 images. However, this
varies from server to server. There is no limit on Windows servers.

The component has been "fixed" in Expressions Web by removing it
entirely :)

It's just a plain old buggy feature. Seems there are limits but no one
really knows what it is...when you hit the wall you'll know it, and switch
to other methods; like JAlbum or somethin' else.

Many thanks, Ron - I have it working OK with montage layout - obviously I
need to switch, but I was in a hurry to get this up - many thanks again to
all who helped so unstintingly!
