Simple Thumbnail Solution



Online Demo



Suppose you have a series of images in thumbnail and you would like the user to easily browse through them. In this script we will create three thumbnail images and a larger copy of the selected image will be displayed on the right of the screen. We will also highlight the currently selected thumbnail.

This script shows how to use CSS to format your page as well as how to use javascript to dynamically change the CSS properties of the page elements. It also has a DHTML technique to change the source of an image tag. Copy & Paste this into a new HTML file, then open in your browser.

How could this script be modified to include "Previous" and "Next" buttons next to the enlarged image. I have seen this on other sites and it comes in pretty handy when there is a sizeable number of thumbnails to view.

Thanks,
...Sylvia

Would appreciate some help. The abovve code doesnt work for me even when I change the paths to my computer and change the images to images that I have.

I think I lose it on when it says to change image on click to image (1). Where is image 1?

Is this in dreamweaver when you start making images and it goes through them as image 1 by default etc.
