Dynamic Thumbnail Onclick Popup (with link and file name)
I have a gallery on my website selling over 50 posters and growing. When a user clicks on a thumbnail I would like a larger version of the same image to appear in a popup along with the file name of the image and another link. I need a dynamic solution that will save me time and let the gallery grow.
The files are titled exactly the same with one exception of an LG. For example:
Thumbnail name: image1.jpg
Large Image name: Lgimage1.jpg
Upon clicking image1.jpg I want the user to get a popup that looks like this:
--------------------------
| |
| LG IMAGE |
| |
|-------------------------
| file name display |
|-------------------------
| link |
--------------------------

This question is posted in a few zones. I am well aware that I need a server side language (ASP in my case). I know some ASP but no enough for this. I need a fast solution.
Opening a new window will require javascript or using target="_blank" in an anchor. If you use server script for the "gallery" then you can create links like ...
<a href="bigImage.asp?pic=13"
The bigImage.asp page would need to get the pic number from the querystring and then make the page. The filename can either be made with script or, if needed, picked up with the FileSystemObject.
If you want a real popup window (i.e. different size, fewer tool bars, etc) then javascript is needed. In that case you can still use server script for part or just use javascript.
Let me know which you want to use or need to use. If you want me to make the page for you and help get it working on your page then please provide some of the "gallerys" html. Let me know if you have a question.
