Image Gallery w thumbnails - No popups, no page changes

Hey all,

I want to create a gallery for my graphic design work on my site. For the sake of professionalism and useability, theres certain guidelines I want to follow:

I want the gallery to have thumbnail images.
I don’t want to have any new windows pop up.
I don’t want it to go to a seperate page (unless the thumbnails can still be displayed).
Flash is my last resort for the sake of user compatability.

This is sort of half a layout/logistics issue, half a technical issue. I have multiple sections of the gallery on the page (e.g. photo restoration, logos, magazine layouts, etc.) if that helps at all. I’m kind of a mid-level user, just starting to break into CSS, php, xml, and other web technologies, which I really don’t feel comfortable using professionally just yet. I use FrontPage 2003.

If someone could tell me what the best way to do this would be that would be great.

I would use PHP or ASP. Read up on Master-Detail sets. If not you can use javascript, I really don’t use JS so I’m not too sure how.

Man, here you go… http://www.hotscripts.com search for photo galleries, or something along those lines

You could use frames like in this wedding site I made. Actually I used an html generator from a catalog program called [URL=http://www.iview-multimedia.com/]iView to make it.
