Rotating Pictures

Can someone please tell me what part of the FP2003 book (that I've read at
least 10 times from cover to cover) can tell me how to make pictures rotate?
For example, I have a large picture at the top of a page and 3 small pictures
under the large picture. How can I click on either of the small pictures to
make it take the place of the large picture? And the large picture becomes
the small picture. Hope that makes sense! I call that rotating pictures.
What is it called? Is it in the book? Can you please explain how I can do
this? As always, I appreciate your help!!!!!

From an amateur.

My guess is that FP would not support this in any of its incarnations (i.e.
FP2000, 2002, 2003)

But with some JS it could be acheived.

I don't know if others can assist you easily. I think Murray has a similar
thing where he has 3 or 4 smaller pictures down the left and a larger iframe
in the centre. When any of the smaller pictures is clicked on, it opens in
the frame. Clicking on another smaller picture replaces the larger. This may
be good enough to do what you want. I can post it Murray doesn't mind.

If not, I will have a go at some code later today (AEST)

I believe you are simply thinking of one of the standard layouts for a
Frontpage Photo Gallery. In Microsoft Frontpage 2003 (and earlier versions)
just create a new web page, then on the Insert menu at the top of the page
select Web Component, then Photo Gallery. A dialog box then asks you to
select one of several standard layouts. The third option is "Slideshow," the
one you want. Then just point-and-click to add your photos to the layout,
give them captions, and you are done. You can change the layout at any time.

Alex,

Thanks. As I have read these pages many times, sometimes I forget where I
read what! I was able insert the photo gallery to get this done. However, I
would like to get the larger picture on top and the smaller pictures below
the larger one. I don't see this information anywhere. Can this be done?
Thanks again!

JAlbum? My girlfriend's website has one picture on top and the other
pictures...3 to 5 pictures under the larger picture. The pictures are
separated by a line. When you click on either of the smaller pictures, that
picture will move to the top position and become larger. You're thinking why
don't I ask her? Well, early on I felt that she was not happy with my
questions about designing a site even though we're miles apart. You know how
the definition of FRIEND has different meanings depending on the
circumstances? Well, this made me wonder. And for that reason, I really
appreciate you FRONTPAGE GODS! She uses Frontpage 2003. Thanks again.
 
jalbum.net

BTW, I sent you some code by Murray which does simialr things. Was this
useful?
 
Google is my home page. If you go to www.google.com and type in "JAlbum"
their web site is first on the list. You'd be amazed how much you can find
out, and how quickly, just by using Google.

I forgot to post here. My new post is under...Where do I insert? I went to
dynamic dive.com and tried to get this done. I didn't know where to insert
the lanuage for the pictures. I put the cursor behind these brackets <body>
I inserted here. I messed up my page so bad after I tried to delete it. I
tried to insert a shopping cart and then a drop down menu. I know this is a
lot to ask, but I think if I can find out where to insert, I can do this...I
guess, I hope!!!
