Agreed.

But, a message to the OP:

Compress those images. While the picture of those trees is very nice it does
*not* need to be half a megabyte big. 60K at a max. People on slow
connections will not look at your photos.

What happens when I have scrolled a long way down the thumbnails and chosen
an image to look at?

The left hand side is now right at the top again.

Now, where was I? :-(

Good point, I meant to look at that issue. I got as far as "hello, that
was not exactly instant" on my fastish broadband and for mere 644x484!
And then forgot about it!

I have fixed up a bit now and stuck the image on my server. Indeed, 63k
was roughly not too bad for the Canola shot, but I have cut the gorgeous
one of the trees a bit of slack (it has so much fine detail) and left it
bigger for now (but nowhere near 0.5MB).

The way to do these things on a photographic set of pages is to keep he
size down, as rf says and for the reasons he gives - but to add a
facility for those that have fast and want bigger still. You can do this
by having the big image a link to even bigger (and users will know or
you can somehow tell them - a tooltip (via title) is one simple
possibility - what they are in for file-size/time-wise.

I, for one, would welcome to see them thar trees bigger...

Well, if it was me, I would likely not have so many in one go but
organise the pages into some sort of tree whereby there would be
categories. You could switch from NSW landscapes to Cats and then to the
set of 'My mates after 6 hours on the booze'.

Maybe two cols of thumbs would be fine, all sorts of things are
possible.

Maybe Phil might leave borders on the thumbnails and visited signals...

But, it is a serious question rf, and since this is an exercise to mimic
frames, how about:

Scroll to bottom and click last thumb.

I assume you can see how you would get the CSS off to a link and also
use an include, perhaps a php one, for the navigation UL, taking the
weight off the HTML doc and construction effort.

I like your nifty use of document-internal links here.

Is there a specific reason not to use the object element with an
external html source? I did something with the object element using an
image referenced in an external html file and managed to not get the
dreadful IE horizontal scroll bar with some CSS.
I was trying to mimic iframes though, but if it was frames I would do
something similar.
