I'm creating an ad for eBay
Custom eBay pages always look dodgy to me.
and want to keep the page condensed. I
have 6 images - different views of an antique lap steel guitar - that
need to show superb detail. I have cropped the images to take up a
full webpage width.
You have no way of knowing the window size that a user is using.
However, I don't want to put all six images on
the page. I thought I could use icons as the trigger for displaying
the images one by one. I cropped the six images down to small (but
identifiable) icons.
Is there a way I put the first full sized image on the page and go
through all the other images by mouseover or clicking on the icons?
Stop trying to reinvent the wheel, use eBay's default page layout. eBay
offers a mechanism to upload multiple alternate images that are
displayed as thumbnails. If the size of the images is large enough eBay
will add a "Supersize this picture?" javascript link beneath it.
I'm not 'trying to reinvent the wheel'.
Hey ... eBay does it. Is their 'default page' that difficult to
recreate (rather than 'reinvent')?
Sorry I asked such a perplexing question in this forum. I'll
certainly not bother you again.
As for the thumbnails thru eBay ... they cost. And I'm trying to
minimize the selling cost.
Never mind !
