Hi guys.

I’m trying to modify Scotty’s fantastic resizable XML gallery to add links to it. I’ve read through similar posts on this forum and I’m confused on a couple of issues. Firstly, the xml file provided, which I am using, places all fields in “” marks, whilst all examples given on this forum don’t seem to do so. Is this a problem?

Perhaps more importantly, when i try, as recommended on similar posts, to place the link within CDATA tags the gallery stops showing any thumbnails, pictures or anything! I am confused. My XML file is as below, after editing the first image data to try and accomodate the link:

```auto
<gallery name="Holiday">
                <image source="pics/pic1.jpg" thumb="pics/th1.jpg" title="<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.kirupa.com">kirupa</a>]]>"/>
                <image source="pics/pic2.jpg" thumb="pics/th2.jpg" title="Party"/>
                <image source="pics/pic3.jpg" thumb="pics/th3.jpg" title="Bench"/>
                <image source="pics/pic4.jpg" thumb="pics/th4.jpg" title="Lights"/>
                <image source="pics/pic5.jpg" thumb="pics/th5.jpg" title="Agreement"/>
                <image source="pics/pic6.jpg" thumb="pics/th6.jpg" title="Landscape"/>
                        
    
</gallery>
