I know I saw this somewhere in FP2003 and did it at one time...but now ...I
have forgotten. (too many fried neurons) I hope I can explain this.

I have web with a quite a few pictures of artwork. I have thumbnails (not
the auto thumbnails but just smaller jpgs) that when I click on them will
naturally open a bigger picture....BUT not TAKE me to another page but open
that page (or maybe graphic) in a larger window on top of my current
page...maybe about 2/3 the size of my page. I know there is a way to do
this...a likely a name for it but can't find it.

Anybody...?

[quoted text, click to view]
you need to create a window within a window.

It's like when you click a button to select a movie in flash, the button
is clicked and the movie plays in the same window. You need to devise
the same thing for your images.

You could always try to make the small images into buttons and give them
an action, that will have them pop up within the window. Maybe resize?
