Thumbnail Images?

Hello,

Is it possible to insert images as clickable thumbnails? So, when a user clicks 'click here to see larger image' the image displays in a larger size?

Thanks.

    Hi there

    Yes this is possible. What you do is to create two versions of each image. One is the thumbnail and the other is the full size image. You then create links from the thumbnails to the larger images.

    There are a variety of ways to approach this. Without knowing more it's hard to direct.

    For example:

    • Do you want the user to click and see a popup of the image?
    • Do you want the user to click and see the image drop-down below the thumbnail?
    • Do you want the user to click and see the image in a new window?
    • Do you want the user to simply display the larger image as if it were another topic?

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi,

    Thanks for the speedy reply.

    A bit more info, I'll be outputting WebHelp from RH 8.

    I don't want a popup or a new window. So, am I left with using a DHTML link.

    I really just want the larger image to appear next to the thumbnail. Has the hotspot functionality changed for the good. I was always disappointed when white space was reserved for the popup image, leaving a gaping hole in the non-expanded layout.

    Again, thanks very much.

    Hi again

    If you are referring to the RoboHelp Popup method, hopefully you realize you may specify the dimensions of a Popup. You may see a small white border, but nothing hugely large or unsightly. (Unless you just WANT it that way. )

    Cheers... Rick
