Please go to http://dwaynebutcher.com/section/132569_Text.html & click on one of his "paintings". Can I do that with VSD? Where it enlarges & goes to another page with more info, I mean.

Yes, you just have to put a link on the smaller image which goes to another page with the bigger image and description on it.

To add a link to an image: select the image, click the "link" button in the tool bar, select "Page in This Website:" and choose the page which contains your larger image/description from the drop-down menu.

You could get fancy and use some <iframe> tags, but that's rather technical and slightly unnecessary.

Barbara...Zac's idea is just fine, but just remember that you will have to prepare the pages with the larger images and relevant information before you can link to them from the page containing the smaller - often called thumbnail - images.

I have something simular on my page " www.garasjesalg.org" klick on one of the pictures. Instead of a new page, it pops up a window on same page instead. This way you dont have to add any more pages, incase you use only html and have alot of pictures. You can even add more pictures to the picture that pops up, so you can create a slideshow to. If you want some information or links on the frame that pops up, you can add that to.

Its really simple to use aswell, you need to add 3 lines of codes to the pages (using the html tool) you want the Lightbox to be used on, and you have to download the required files and put it on your root folder. Adding the links are simple to!

Dont know if you like it or not, but i find it usefull. Take a look at http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/
They have a support forum there aswell and the best thing is, its all free and no ads anywhere

if you dont want to do it this way, the above sugestion is abit easier, but gona take some time if you have alot of pictures.

http://visuallightbox.com has basically the same thing and it's a visual editing setup instead of having to code it. You should be able to input the code into the HTML tool or whatever tool you need to use for javascript type things in VSD if that is the type of window you'd like to open.

I think your original post already contains the answer to this one - you clearly state that you want to be able to add information with the enlarged image. Assuming the information is something more than just a name or caption, I personally feel that the full page option is the best as the overlay images described by JoAnn and Rmk82 usually only have the addition of a short caption. There are more complex ways of doing this, but it sounds as if you are looking for something fairly simple and the full page enlargements are certainly very simple to implement and don't involve complex coding.

Is there a way to enter attributes such as rel="lightbox" to an image link tag in VSD? I can manually code the page and make Colorbox or Lightbox work great, but if I edit a page or reupload in VSD it overwrites it. I know I could do it with Visual Lightbox and add with the HTML tool, but I need to use freeware on our company website ... my boss is too cheap to pay the licenseing fee for commercial use.

Have you tried this Robert?

In order to use Lightbox you will need to input the code into the VSD tools, there isn't any other way to incorporate it into the .vnu file that stores your site pages. That's the whole idea behind the visual editor creating the code for you. I don't use VSD but I would think it would work as such:

*Create your light box in visual light box program.

*Tell it to add it to the page (make a copy of the page that VSD creates for you so it doesn't mess up the original.) and have it insert it into the html page that you copied for doing this.

*Adjust the code so it's where you need it to be sure it's working correctly (lightbox loves to put it above or below the actual line you wanted it in so it sometimes needs to be moved down or up etc.)

*Now that you have it where you want it, note where it is in the code on the page and on the visual of it when looking at it.

*Copy the code it inserted

*Open your VSD program and the page you want it on in it

*Use the HTML Tool (or whatever tool inserts this type of thing) and insert it into the spot you worked with on the practice setup to get the code with.

Yes it's a little extra work when working with VSD, but this would be the best solution to make sure there is no worrying about it being overwritten the next time you update your site if you try editing it outside of the program.
