 372. dusty - 9/29/1999 10:25:26 AM Of course, I figure out how to do this, then realize it is similar to what PP's been doing for some time. 373. dusty - 9/29/1999 10:30:52 AM In another thread, pellenilsson asked how to display a large picture one that would mess up the margin. One solution, discussed above, is to resize the picture so that it fits. But what if that isn't sufficient? What if it would be too cramped if stuffed within the margins? The good news is that the answer is simple.
Create a small thumbnail with a link to the actual picture. I did it in post #371, and below I will show the commands (with the extra space after the angle bracket show it will display rather than execute.)

This is a combination of CalGal's and dusty's tricks. If you click on the thumbnail you will be taken to the full picture which is Lot and his daughter (yes, depraved stuff) by Altdorfer, 1537.376. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 6:42:28 PM It didn't work at all. Have to reconsider. 377. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 6:45:08 PM a href="http://www.artchive.com/artchive/A/altdorfer/lot.jpg"> Now I have taken away the table tags.
378. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 6:48:02 PM
Now? 379. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 6:56:39 PM
Putting back the table tags.
380. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 7:10:33 PM Last attempt.
381. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 7:16:37 PM At last. Here is the syntax then for a clickable picture with text wrap. As usual remove the space after all the < .
< table align="left">< tr>< td>< a href="http://www.artchive.com/artchive/A/altdorfer/lot.jpg">< img src="http://www.artchive.com/artchive/A/altdorfer/lot.jpg" width=100>< /td>< /tr>< /table>< /a>
382. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 7:19:15 PM Sorry, this is the generic:
< table align="left">< tr>< td>< a href="ImageURL>< img src="ImageURL" width=100>< /td>< /tr>< /table>< /a> 383. pellenilsson - 9/29/1999 8:15:41 PM Now that I have a web site, I should get a page builder. The one that Yahoo provides seems rather useless and slow. I can get hold of Frontpage at the office. Any other suggestions? 384. Dusty - 9/29/1999 9:49:50 PM Pelle, thanks. We're making progress.
Minor nits: there needs be a cloing quote in the anchor tag, and while I think the order doesn't matter, it is slightly cleaner to close the anchor tag before closing the data element, the row, and the table, as follows:
< table align="left">< tr>< td>< a href="ImageURL">< img src="ImageURL" width=100>< /a>< /td>< /tr>< /table>
385. CalGal - 9/30/1999 1:40:58 AM Pelle,
I use FrontPage Express; never got around to buying Front Page. But remember these page builders put a lot of crap in the HTML. I am more and more using FP just for quick formatting, and doing a lot without an editor at all. 386. CalGal - 9/30/1999 6:18:27 AM Incidentally, I made another discovery: lists have the same problem that tables do in our posting window. If you want a nicely spaced list, don't put any carriage returns in.
Example:
- here is a list
- with carriage returns
- every line
and- here is a list
- where I didn't put
- any carriage returns
See the difference?387. Nostradamus - 9/30/1999 6:20:47 AM Uh, no. 388. CalGal - 9/30/1999 6:23:43 AM Nos,
That is because you are looking at the bullets, not the white space.

I have found that Dreamweaver is superior to Front Page, after using both extensively. 390. IrvingSnodgrass - 9/30/1999 10:39:17 AM Oops.
