Hey, i’m creating a photo gallery and was wondering if people have suggestions on the best approach for using only the actual image to build the cropped thumbnail as opposed to having 2 separate images. I’d like to stick mainly with CSS and the DOM but would be open to PHP options if they aren’t too complex.
well, if you load the entire image anyway to make a thumbnail, it kinda voids the point of using thumbnails. I usually use a php script for a backend that will make thumbnails out of the photos i upload, but if you want it to do this on loading the page, it’s gonna be slow.
do you have an example online of this working? i’d like to see what it’s like.
let me check, i think it’s just on my local test server.
Edit: nope, i’ll throw my gallery system on my webspace when i get home tonight if you’d like to take a look at the backend. BTW, it’s flash, but the php will work with AJAX based stuff (man i hate that buzzword)
ok, thx.
u ever put it up?
