Do you mean 'tables'?

No, two frames with thumbs in one with the full size targeted in the
other.

The best way for a gallery :-)

Do you own *all* of those kids Nico? It's a wonder you have time to
produce *any* html :-)

Heh

One never 'owns' kids. We are merely hosts to the charming parasites.

Thanks for the comment. You've got me wondering what would be better
than blue? My only rational for using it is that it seems to be what
most people are looking for.

Use black or dark grey (almost black) or even the lighter green color. Some
of your links use black already. Be consistent.

The goal is to highlight the link without making it too obtrusive. Blue is
just too bright.

I've considered gravestone gray and
some others but can't quite get a grasp on what says "cemetery".

Take a definitive photo of a graveyard. It will be greens and greys,
mostly, plus maybe blues. Use the mosaic filter to make tiles 40 pixels
across. That's your palette.

I'd have used a little 'unsharp mask' as well, then it would be fine for
web-viewing.

It depends what you translate as acceptable. I feel that 40K image is
acceptable on the page, if it
means I see the image, rather than hitting the 'close' button because of
having to wait too long.

Around 70 per-cent of world-wide users are still on dial-ups, so they
*must* be considered :~)

The problem with that particular image is the background. Too many color
changes. I resized it down to 400px wide and 25% compression in PSP and
came up 49k. I noticed that even at 1% more there was serious damage to the
statue itself. I started to reduce the contrast and color in the background
but my wife wouldn't let me. It's a flower thing I guess.

Nice pics. That's almost exactly what I'm using at oldbones.net. Problem
is the search engines frown on frames, even with a little java script.
Looks horrible on webtv too.

Ehhh, the (test)site on the link is not built with frames :-)
Anyway, problems with indexing by SE's is maybe even an advantage because
people don't want their pictures to be found individually.

I agree, and on that note I was going to point the OP to brucie's
butterflies, but they're gone!

I didn't save the balls script. :-(

Hi

Thanks for the script. I have Brucies balls script

http://p0c79.phpwebhosting.com/~p0c7...alls/balls.txt

All the stuff relating to it is in a folder
http://p0c79.phpwebhosting.com/~p0c79/brucies%20balls/

Unfortunately, I've managed to get formatting stuff all over balls.txt -
like <font> etc. Must have saved it wrong. I saved it with Opera (File -
save with images). It all works on my local PC but the links in the pages
for altering the style need fixing to get them to work at my host site.

HTH
