HI, Im looking for a a javascript gallery like jquiery lightbox that auto does the thubs or shrinks the image to fit a set size so i dont have to make 2 versions of each image..

 

my gallery page is http://www.swipedstudio.com/portfolio.html

 

I need it so that the things i have made that are not website will show the larger image with out me having to make a page for each one .. im trying to make my site easy to update with out hassel of adding more pages and other things...

 

Any pointers will be great!!!

 

Thanks people!

The purpose of thumbnails is so you can load a set of small images with small file sizes. If you have a large image and just size it down with HTML/CSS/JS the image files will still be large and take a long time to download.

 

What you could do is use a PHP script so when you upload a new photo on your site it generates a thumbnail for you. There's different gallery solutions you can use if you don't want to code it yourself.

Thanks ill do a search now on this ! ty very much!!!!!!
