I would strongly recommend implementing a simple photo gallery using lightbox (just google it). It's remarkably simple to use, and pretty elegant-looking to anyone who's never seen it before.

thank you lou

i have downloaded lightbox,what i have in the folder is: Js,images ,css & a index file do i upload these files to my site & add the Javascript to my html page where i would like the photo gallery? thank in advance,

Once you extract the lightbox download, you should leave those folders intact and upload them to the same directory as the html page. You then follow the instructions in the "How to Use" guide here:

Hope this helps,

thanks lou

i am on http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/,do i add the javascript to my main index page,or to the page i want the gallery to go? sorry for not understandin the basics,

You add the following to the page that you want the gallery on:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />


You leave the downloaded javascript files alone. For the last line referencing the style sheet, you can open lightbox.css, and copy/paste all the code to your current stylesheet.
