My personal site uses something similar. http://palmisanonet.com There's no next/back buttons once you view the large-sized image, but the rest of what you describe seems the same. Once the framework was in place, all I have to do is drop a thumbnail in the /thumbs directory and the same-named image in the /images directory. The FSO enumerates the thumbnails, making each one a link to its large-size. I also use the FSO to read the title and description from a text file. Let me know if you're interested in the code. .sal -----Original Message----- From: Carlos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 2:15 AM To: ActiveServerPages Subject: Ideas on ASP-based Photo Album Hello all. I've been experimenting with creating an ASP-based photo album. Goal: 1. To display a page of albums with one thumbnail showing that is representative of the album. 2. Click one of the albums to display thumbnails of each photo with a description. 3. Click one of the photos to display it in a large format. 4. Provide navigation (Next - Back buttons) to move forward or back in the album. My first approach was to use the FileSystemObject which read the contents of a file structure below: Folder: albums Subfolder: <each subfolder is the name of the album> Within 'album' folder: a thumbnails folder and an images folder. Every page view required several FileSystemObject accesses. Since I'm hosting my site with a third-party host, I don't have the ability to roll-my-own com object (besides, I don't know how). What approach should I take with this? Any interesting ideas?
