Hi,
I am having trouble making thumbnail enlarge on mouseover, using the same image file. Can anybody advise me on how I might go about achieving this. I'm sure it's simple but I seem to be having some trouble.

Thanks, Simon.

Are you trying to enlarge the image in a window when moused over? Or you loading a layer/div with the larger image?

Thanks for the reply.
I've actually achieved this by using layers. I've created a layer for each thumbnail. The I've created other layers containing a latger image of the corresponding thumbnail. I've then applyed an event so that when the mouse button is down, the image click is then made visible in the larger layer and the others are hidden. Hope this makes some sense. I'm not sure whether this is the best way to do this, so if anyone knows of a better way then I would be very glad of the advice.
Thanks
Simon

Hi Simon

There's a create a photo album option in Dreamweaver under the commands menu which uses Fireworks.

Regarding your current approach, the idea of thumbnail pages is to show the site picture content rapidly, using small gif's or jpg's. The way you are doing this means that a user has to wait for the pictures, both thumbnail and the larger size, to be downloaded to the browser, sort of defeats the object of a thumbnail page really.
