Something I cannot figure out with Dreamweaver MX(still not solved!)?

Question

Hi guys!!
I posted a question last night and some people kindly responded to my questions, but I'm afraid I didn't get a right answer. This time, I leave a link to a page that I found that is very similar to what I want to do, so please look at the page after reading my question and teach me how to do it if you know. Thank you very much!!!!

I am making a website with Dreamweaver MX now, and there is somethings I cannot figure out. I want to have a page to show some pictures, a page with lots of small icons(small images) next to one large image, and as I click on the small images, the large image changes into them on the same page(with no frames). Does somebody know how to set this? I'd find a website with such a page if you are not sure what I'm talking about. Thank you very much.

There are number of ways to do such things such as creating photo album in html format using third party software such as acdsee etc. You can certainly do that.
But for now, the easiest thing will be for you to copy your example.

First for displaying such non frame image viewer, you usually need to use java script and the page you gave as example is done with java script. So, what you can do is to save the example page in your computer. then open with dreamweaver and just cjage their pictures with yours.

To do this you can do it using internet explorer6/7 or opera browser(which just it best).
Say in Internet explorer, go to file>save as> choose save format as html, complete> save.
I mean you have to save the file with all images included, don't just choose html only or web archive format.
Now you open the htmlfile with dreamweaver. You can the see the page in design and code view. You can delete unnecessary menus etc and only keep the photo fram and thumbnails(you called small images). Now, just replece the images with your own.

It is not a one click job for such page design and don't expect things done in clicks. spend some time on it.

The second option(of course completely different), is to use dreamweaver's built in image viewer. Insert>image viewer. it will do things like a slide show or you can perhaps set it for individual images as well. unless I try it I can't tell for sure.
last option is to use framed site.

Just as side note, if you search online, you will find a javascript for such image viewer also. then you don't need to copy the code from the example site. i saw the code for sure many years ago but don't remember. Search for html help sites.

finally, good option for such kind of help is different online forums because you can interact with people there. In yahoo answers, its like one time answer and most people just give answers from google search etc and not much help.
Wish you best.

Adobe Photoshop can do it. It's under files then photo gallery I think. It pretty much does all the work for you.
