Adding photos to gallery
Hello, I used dreamweaver mx to create a photo gallery (fireworks was also used) and I would like to add more photos to established gallery without creating a new one. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

What do you need help with, adding the html for the images, uploading the images, creating pages, calling the details from a database ... ?

There's no database involved, please visit terjerevenew.com and check photo galleries to see what I mean. I just want to add more photos to those current galleries. Thanks for the reply!

I'm sorry, I don't get what you mean.
You have three sections - gallery titles, thumbnails and image view (with next/previous options) .
If you just want to add more images to the sections you already have then just add the linked image tag to the pages you want them on as you've done.
Your using a table to display the thumbnails but you could do away with it and just let the thumbnails determine screen size and postition - always use the width and height elements of the img tag.

I don't know anything about Dreamweaver, but it seems that it produces static pages. You'd have to manually add new thumbnails and link them to new images.
If you are going to be updating often, and adding new things often, this will get old and tired quickly.
*If* you will be dealing with a large amount of photos I'd suggest a CMS for images, such as Gallery.
You do need a PHP enabled server with mod-rewrite turned on, and the ability to edit your .htaccess in order to use a photo management system.

Can you please share your solution? I've been re-indexing the whole file - and it sure would be nice to know how to add to the original file rather than re-do it! Also, do you know how to add captions to the photo albums (beyond the title of the photo that shows just below the picture)?
