Simple, free image galleries

Is there such a thing as a simple, easy-to-use image gallery system that can
be installed on an html page and modified using Adobe Contribute? The ones
I've looked at so far (PVII et al) are all incompatible with Contribute, and
the non-technical users will need to add pictures on a regular basis.

Without knowing how contribute works it's hard to say. I have a simple
gallery that will work by simply placing images in a directory

Alternatively, it's fairly simple to write a submission form for image
upload.

Why do you inline style every single image to float left?

I wrote the code for that some time ago. Thanks for prompting me that
it needs tidying.

No doubt as you probably know, you will not even need to class the img
elements to get them to float; instead, either simply img {float: left}
in the CSS or if some of yopur images are not to float left, take the
cue from a higher container: .container img {float: left}.

I liked your dog! I had a Border Collie for years, good dogs, smart.
Mine used to discuss Wittgenstein and play devil's advocate for the dead
Austrian.

I have a gallery of images at :-

http://kempster.info/photos/gallery/index.html

which I'd like to change to more modern coding, it's done with <blush>
Frames. I'd like to keep the current look - a column of thumbnails on
the left with a larger edition opening in the major portion of the
page. Any ideas?

I rather like the way that the thumbnails don't have to re-load whenever
the large image is changed. It'd be nice to retain that.

There are a lot of gallery designs on the web that have a separate
page of thumbnails, then the larger images display on their own page
with the usual navigation <Back - Next>, with no clue as to what new
image to expect. You have to keep going back to the thumbnails, and
choose, unless you just click through all of the offerings. I like the
feature of my display that lets the viewer pick and choose, bummer about
the old frames though!

I'm working on substituting php for the hard coded image links, it's
work slow - I blame this geriatric brain. But as is said often "Use it
or lose it".

Well, you know, your URL (never mind a few HTML and char server encoding
errors) is not a bad advertisement for frames! If you had a very great
number more of thumbnails and someone wanted to bookmark a particular
enlargement, yes, there would be trouble then.

Since you made so many right frame htmls, e.g. the one with the
beautiful bragg-creek on it, you can fix a left menu with the thumbnails
on each, using an include. You just have a container for the menu and
style it containerElement div {...}, no need to class so much!

Anyway... as for how, there are a number of ways to go, here is a scheme
that might be adapted by you:

<http://dorayme.netweaver.com.au/pseudoFrameLeftCol.html>

and

<http://dorayme.netweaver.com.au/pseudoFrameLeftCol1.html>

linked to each other and to a couple of your pics that I rather fancied.

Seems fine in good modern browsers.

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. Ask if you are not sure.

Thanks dorayme for taking the time, I'll flesh it out and see how I go.
Looks great. Goodonyer!
