| Ok, as you can see, these images are thumbnails. These are roughly the 1/6th the size of the normal images, or maybe 1/5th. They're basically just small copies of the original files, that have coding behind them pointing to the actual images. An example of this is the top right thumbnail. The filename of the actual thumbnail is "cutegirlthumb" for obvious purposes, and the image that the coding refers to is "cutegirl". |
| Thumbnails work much the same way as hypertext links (or hyperlinks for short), except that instead of text being the button, you use an image. Below are a few examplesof this being used. |
| There are many ways of using thumbnails. In this case, I directly linked these to specific files. I could, however, have linked them to pages with a series of images for example, or to a web URL that doesnt belong to me, or even a file from someone else's site. The basic source i used is in this format: <a href="http://www.geocities.com/aznrocker/cutegirl.jpg"><img height=43 width=60 src="http://www.geocities.com/aznrocker/cutegirlthumb.jpg" border=0 ></a> |
