I'm getting on well with VSD but i need to add a Thumbnail viewer to each of my pages, so when i click on a thumbnail it opens up the full picture but you stay on the same page (you don't get directed to another page with the image on).

I used these on my old website but because i can't get directly into the code it's tricky.

I tried Colorbox but it didn't work :(

And i know i could open the html file in an editor but if i do that then i can't re-open the vsd file and make changes as any changes i make in the html editor will be overwritten and lost.

Please help I'm tearing my hair out! (and it's not even my hair, it's fake!! :o:D


I'm Claire BTW :)

Oh meant to say tried to use lightbox, didn't work either (wouldn't load lrg image)
And don't want to use CC photo gallery as mobile devices don't support flash (I don't think)

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks Eric, i did try but when i previewed it in my browser the thumbnail didn't show up and when i clicked on it, nothing happened.
I'll try again though.

Is the Root of my site the place where the index file is located?

Here's what you can try then. When you preview the page in a browser right click off to the right side of the browser window and in the menu that pops up select "View Source". Now in the code that shows click on the blue highlighted links referencing to colorbox. When you click on these you should get some page to open that has some code in it. It may not make sense to you but it shouldn't be a file not found error or something similar. If you get a page of code then right click again and select "Back" to take you back to your page of code to try the next link. Any of these that give you a missing file error has not been added to you site correctly so you need to go back and take a look at that file and make sure you added it to the proper location in your site.
