Hey, everyone,
I've been doing some HTML experiments at my TMNT Fan Art Page to
make your viewing a lot more easier, and let me tell you, it's been a real pain
in the arse! My goal is to make that Tripod pop-up ad NOT appear
every time you click on a thumbnail image and by doing that, I had to learn how
to make a new window when viewing the larger image. I thank Mikey
Quartermane from the bottom of my heart when he showed me his HTML
code of turning a thumbnail link into a smaller window for the larger
image. This stuff takes patience which, at times, I don't have, and he was
very patient with me. I only played with the first image, Shadow and Don,
to see if I could do it.
After all the fun of inserting the new HTML Java Scripts, it worked!
I made the thumbnail link open a smaller window to a new htm file.
The image worked perfectly but one problem! Tripod reads the new window as
an htm so again, the pop-up appears! :( No escape from it!
And you can only have a text caption for your image in a htm file. I
felt totally at a loss, wondering what to do.
However, I tried something else. *evil grin* I took the large
jpg image, went to CorelDRAW, extended the paper size, and typed in
the text caption below the image from there! Went back to
Tripod file manager, uploaded the new image and boom! Now, the thumbnail
link goes to the jpg extension and there's the text caption I typed in from
Corel! And guess what? It's a jpg extension so NO Tripod pop-up
ad!!
To make a long story short (too late!), I can create the thumbnail links to
open smaller windows and prevent the Tripod ad from appearing all the
time! Of course, it'll appear when you first arrive, there's no getting
around that. At least I found a way around it popping up between
links.
Okay, so if any of you could, please go check out the page
and click on the first thumbnail image, Shadow and Don, to see what you
think. If you like it, I'll do the same changes to the other...gulp, 69
pictures! But, ahhhh, seeing as I have to get up early tomorrow and my
next day off isn't till Thursday, this new change for all the images will take
awhile. QUITE awhile. :P
Thanks, everyone (and to Mike again!), for putting up with me!
Bye!
Brinatello
