Im adding a new section to my site for gigs Ive been to.

What I want to do is have 3 thumbnails in each row, linked to the full sized picture.
Ive got the thumbnails part down, but I cant get the linked picture to work.

Can anyone tell me the code for linking to a file on the server. (a href"adress") (/a) doesnt seem to be the right code. (i know its < > and not ( ) )

Thanks in advance.

it's (a href="website")link/picture(/a) with alligator mouths < >

I tried that one.

I dont know if I was clear in what Im trying to do.

I have a 1280 x 960 picture on my server, and the thumbnail is a direct resize of that file.

What I want to do is have the clickable thumbnail open the 1280 x 960 file direct from the server.

Okay, I'll make a hypothetical to explain better.
thumbnail.jpg and
full.jpg
These are the thumbnail and full, hypothetically, named respectively.
You would want to do
<img src="thumbnail.jpg">

so you want the thumbnails linked to the image right...then do like this
(a href="location/of/picture.jpg")(img src="image/thumnail.jpg" alt="thumb")(/a)

replace ( ) with < > of course

Damn.
Sorry for double post, accidently used alligator mouths.
(a href="full.jpg")(img src="thumbnail.jpg")(/a)

^^ That's what you want.

or you could just link to the large version of the picture and make it smaller using width and height in the img tag itself. Like so:

<a href="picture.gif"><img src="picture.gif" width="50px" height="50px" /></a>

Bad idea.
Thumbnails is used to save bandwidth, both for the hoster and the visitor.
Using html to downsize an image does not shrink the file that is sent over the wire at all

Yeah it'll also probably be of a poor quality. You should make a seperate thumbnail.
