HI
I am trying to create a page where I have about 15 thumnail size photos that I want to be able to open without opening a new page- in other words- each photo would just open on top of the page with the thumnails and then the client could close it and clic
k on the next photo, each photo would only be about 2-3 inches so there is no need for a whole page to open...anyone know how to do this?

Framesets are useful for this. If you create a frameset
from the Banner And Contents template that comes wuth
FrontPage, then you would:

o Put the thumbnails in a page that appears in
the "contents" frame at the left.
o Specify target="main" in each thumbnail hyperlink that
display a full-sized picture.

thanks Jim, but I want the target to be a different photo,
ie: the thumnail is the cover of a magazine, the target is the article/photo in the magazine...
can I do this with framesets? Ideally, I would like a little window to open but without a location bar or anything,
just like a pop up of the article/photo and a close button that I would create
hope you have an idea...
thanks again

Please browse:

Displaying Popup Windows
http://www.interlacken.com/winnt/ti...how.aspx?tip=45

That article explains how you can link to pop-up windows,
and therefore how you'd configure the thumbnail hyperlinks.

BTW, for this sort of thing you should probably create your
own thumbnails. Don't try to use the FrontPage AutoThumbnail
feature, becuse it always links to the original photo.
