Scroll thumbnails

[Hymer]

I should like to scroll my thumbnails horisontally by the arrows. Please, tell me, how can I do this.

[steve.ledger]

Create a page with your thumbnails and give it a name (thumbs.htm)
Create an iframe placeholder on the index page (or wherever you want the scrolling thumbnails to appear) and enter the iframe source as the the thumbnail page (thumbs.htm)

Create a page for each full sized photo, name each page (photo1.htm, photo2.htm etc) and use those names as the links (uncheck auto correct addresses) to a second 'named' iframe (eg; myframe) on the index page. The thumbnail links for each photo page will have their 'target' (open in) manually entered as the iframe name (eg; myframe).

See details in the attached example.
(* note that my example you will see each page shift a little because I was only quickly manually positioning the large photos)

Ooops - typo in one of the iframes causing any other index page object to become hidden

Fixed version attached

Thank you sledger! I shall continue next week, as soon as I have time.

(This is a very basic question) When I want to save the second page as "thumbs.htm", I have to export it and then, when I open it I get the first page as thumbs.htm. How can I select and save the different pages with different names?

[steve.ledger]

You don't have to export it as thumbs.htm

XWD will export the correct page names from the page file'name' you give it.
So naming the page (with the thumbnails) 'thumbs' will tell XWD to export it as thumbs.htm
(same process with all other pages)

When you export the site, you only need to enter the site start page, which is index.htm - XWD will do the rest.

I did everything as you told me but it doesn't work.

No Hymer, I did not tell you to put all your thumbnails on a new layer called 'left' did I ?

Of course it won't work when there's nothing to say how to show the layer called 'left'.


You must put your thumbnails on the 'mouseoff' layer for the thumbs.htm page.
Move them to the 'mouseoff' layer and it will work.

[Hymer]

Yes, I created layer left earlier and I forgot it.

I deleted the layers left and right and moved all the thumbnails to the mouseoff layer. I have the thumbnails but I got an error-message about missing framestart.htm. I changed the code in the placeholder.

Now I get the right picture there untill I click first time, so there is some error somewhere.

[steve.ledger]

Almost there Hymer.

On your thumbs page, you have the links wrong for the 'myframe' iframe.
