Hi all, got a small problem I hope someone can help me resolve. I'm working on a website displaying photographic images. The main page is an asp linked to an Access db, the image changes as you scroll through the records using server behaviours etc. The field in the database is set to hyperlink ands the image is selected as a datasource, all through DW, nice and simple. However, the images are re-sized smaller than ideal to allow for the page layout. i would like to have a field displayed for each record that is a hyperlink to a page with a larger version of that particular image on it. Questions are:
what field format do I use in Access - is it hyperlink?
I actually want every link to read "Click for larger image", but of course the underlying record would be different for each image as it is displayed. is this possible?
By parallel a jump link can be named anything you want, i.e.
<A HREF="#Picture1">Archway<A/>

Would this format work in a db field

<A HREF="Images/arch.jpg">Archway<A/>

Would the field type have to be set to text or hyperlink?

Sorry for the length of post!

Cheers, Lol

doesn't matter one bit what you have in the database, it's just text. It's what you do when it's written to the page that will make it work

all you need in the field is the path & image name, then code it in asp;

<%
with response
      .write "<a href="
      .write chr(34)
      .write objRS("field")
      .write chr(34)
      .write " alt="
      .write chr(34)
      .write "insert alt text here"
      .write chr(34)
      .write " title="
      .write chr(34)
      .write "insert title text here"
      .write chr(34)
      .write ">"
      .write "Anchor text goes here"
      .write "</a>
end with

Hi Chris, thanks for your help. Now then, to clarify because I'm a bit thick, the image I want to show larger would be on it's own page, so for example if I had an image in Images called Street, it's own page displaying the large image would be called Street.htm. Is this what I put in the database field, presumably formatted to text? if that's the case how does this affect the asp you quoted? Also, where would I put the asp, in any particular part of the page? I'm new to asp and have only managed to do my asp pages through DW's server behaviours etc.

Thanks again, Lol

depends on how your page is coded. If you create a seperate page (long winded method) for every photo then it's that URL you would have in the database.

Thanks Chris, just the answer!

Cheers, Lol
