What I am working on is a site that has the entire scrapbook for the choir at my college on it. The scrapbook is 60-70 pages, so it will have 60-70 images. The pictures are also big because there's a lot of details on each page.
1. Tho breaking away from bravenet, I miss the buttons where you stick them on the page and then type. How do I make or where do I get buttons that you can type in?
2. What is a good (free) program for making image maps? I have this one page helper that has image mapping, but it freezes up whenever I try to use it.
3. How do I set an i-frame to resize the image to fit? I wanted to set it up so you can click on the page number and it will pop-up in the iframe, but the picture is too big and shrinking it loses a lot of the details.
I'm kind of learning as I go, but these three have me really stumped. Thanks for your help!!!!

"How do I set an i-frame to resize the image to fit?" you cant

why are you using iframes?

uses regular frames and when you click on a picture have it link to it and under the target for the img tag put the name of the big frame. (i think its target maybe its not)

but what i would do is just find a script for it, they have tons of scripts at hotscripts.com

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but these button builders might be what you are looking for.

As far as re-sizing images go, I would import them into an image editor to re-size them. I would also "crunch" the image size if needed. Most if not all computers at least come with a free image editor.

So after typing like ten lines of the same sort of babblings, I figured out what I wanted to ask. Are there any 'flashier' buttons available that would operate like a cell, where, in wysiwyg mode, you could simply select it and enter the text you want in the button/cell?
