Like most, I find the automated web photo gallery templates a bit boring. However, with some creative html tweaking they can be nice. However, the ones I chose do not have the "Advance" and "Back" icons for advancing thru the slides. These functions seem to involve some speacial coding (%Filename", etc). Is there a simple "part" of code I can copy and paste to gets this fucntionality into one of the other gallery presets? I could do it in the html, but in a gallery with 50 images that would be tedious. Thanks.

Try something like this:

<TABLE>
<TR> <!– the anchor tags must be on separate lines –> <TD width="33%" align="right"> <A href=%PREVIMAGE%><IMG src="../images/previous.gif" border="0"></A>
</TD>
<TD align="center">
<A href="/"><IMG src="../images/home.gif" border="0"></A>
</TD>
<TD width="33%" align="left">
<A href=%NEXTIMAGE%><IMG src="../images/next.gif" border="0"></A>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

Thanks Warren. Will try it. Is the %whatever% code language standard to the web that is interpreted by the browser or something within the Adobe gallery programmin? Would just putting it in the HTM of the pages Adobe gallery cranks out be enough?

Will try it out

It is peculiar to Phtoshop as far as I know. The %whatever% codes have to go in the templates for Web Photo Gallery–they would mean nothing to a browser. I hear this is more or less documented in Photoshop CS. In Photoshop 7 you have to figure it out by trial and error.

BTW, Web Photo Gallery is fine for making one or two galleries, but if you need to maintain a lot of galleries, you will probably need to use Photoshop scripts or buy a better product for web galleries.

CS mentions the %code% codes in the Help files, but doent give enough infornation for a novice to affect any kind of changes. Too complicated for me to figure out.
