Creating a photo album

Hello People.

I hope my question does not annoy you, as I have asked this a few times, and, thank you for your help and suggestions, but I am still not sure which way to go....

I am building a website that is "responsive"... That much is straight forward to me.

I want to put on show, within different pages, many of my photos.

Ideally, I would like a "Thumbnail" strip/section.

When a visitor clicks on a thumbnail, the full size photo opens up below the thumbnail strip.

Alternately, I may have a page of thumbnails, and clicking one takes you to a full size image, a bit like the way that Facebook photo albums work.

I was thinking of using "inline" frames. (2, one for the thumbnails and one for the full size photo)

Or, I could build a Flash/Animate slideshow where I can have the thumbnails above the main screen for the full photo, which can all be contained in a separate Animate file that I can then just place in the page.

The Animate way seems to be the easiest way, for me, (more a "Designer" than a "Coder") but I am not sure if that will be a good way for a responsive website.

I am really at a loss now as to what to do.

And I do apologise again if is getting boring to you as you keep seeing it....

Thank you again, in advance...

Glen.

Go directly to the extension developer's websites.  Don't use the Adobe Add-Ons page. 

Responsive Web Design Extensions, Apps, Add-ons, and Plugins for Dreamweaver

Depending on what you want, Project Seven has several image extensions for Dreamweaver.   Art Gallery Magic is the most popular.

Hello Harshika.

Thank you for your reply.

I will give it a go, tho I am really a kind of "Point and click" type of person....

For example, I work nearly ALWAYS in "LIVE" view, which I understand.

Where can I get these extensions ?

Do I open Dreamweaver and then look for "Extensions" from the HELP menu ???

Things are getting REALLY TECHNICAL now, with this "responsive" thingy....

Still, I will persevere... :-)

Thank you again.

Glen

Yes, Glen, you can check Extensions from Help menu in Dreamweaver, also I would suggest checking this plugin: JQuery Cycle Plugin​ and see if that helps.

Thanks,

Harshika
