EXPERTS!!!
Please see what I'm trying to do, and suggest how I might complete it, or how it could be better.
It's become quite a puzzle which I've created out of newbie ignorance! Actually, it seems to me, I have a good start on it, and what I have so far seems logical.
The project: a 48-thumb border around a large image placeholder and a brief introduction placeholder. It's locked in at a size that is viewable "above the fold" on 15" monitors at 800x600. (Or at least I hope it is - I haven't tested it yet...help?
)
The gallery arrays and intro arrays make it nicely scalable, so all you have to do to have a new gallery is to make a new array for picture names and one for intros.
This page (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.powell3d.com/bryce_pics/gallery1A.html">http://www.powell3d.com/bryce_pics/gallery1A.html</a><!-- m -->) shows the format I want. The thumbs are working, so you can view the gallery, but things arre messed up a little right now.
And as of this posting, this code has holes all over it.

How many more variables am I going to need? What will make this program idea better? Is it a good idea to begin with?
