it looks to me like most of that is done with flash. dreamweaver wont help you much with that. at least the part i could see... i couldnt go very far before the thing stopped working all togeather.

but actually what i can see is that this pictures where al the jewerly is being showned is not flash. when you right click the flash window doesn't show up. it is a regular html page.

ah ok, it wasnt working for me in firefox but i see what your looking at now. It is done with perl. some sort of script. when you hover your mouse over the images you can see the link at the bottom of your screen. you can see how they are passing theyre variables and get an idea from that. Im sorry to say... its something you COULD create with dreamweaver... but you could also create it with notepad or something like that. dreamweaver specificly isnt going to help you create anything like that. you really need to have some programming background to build things like that. its all controlled server side.

hope this helps.

good news is, your in the right place if you plan on learning how to create things like this.

link to file

heres a link to the perl file theyre using. right click and save as and you shoudl be able to open it with notepad or dreamweaver and look at theyre code.

i see what you mean..so it's all worked in perl...what else can i do to get something similar to what they're showing on this website ??..any advice will be helpfull.
thanks

sure,

they're using serverside things because theyre handling a lot of info other than just an image. theyre probly passing prices and info on specific products and whatnot. im sure all theyre info is stored in a database and the perl file pulls the info on products from the database.

since all you want is a sinple image gallery you could do something less complicated. i know this wont make much sence, but you will probly still need a little programming experience though, if you want to make things easier. your probly thinking that learning a programming language for sure does NOT make anything easier. but beleive me once you have your web page built it will be much easier to add images to your gallery if its somewhat automated.

I cant exactly just whip you up a script to use to produce an image gallery but theyre are plenty of website with such things. one you shoudl for sure check out is tutorialized.com. probly the easiest serverside programming language is PHP. so goto that website and look under the php tutorials and brows until you find a image gallery and try it out. and if need be you can always read some of the beginners php guides and things to get yourself rolling.

is there any way that i can link that thumbnail on the left hand of the page to a bigger picture of the same image inside the same page ???

if you want to just do that you can probly do it with java. just some simple rollover stuff.

im no good withjava though. try asking in the java forum, they will know
