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.

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?

Thanks,
Charles Marshall
