For instance, I have a field in my database that references paw images. For example, I have only 2 pages that display my PAW images. The first one, http://www.sleepytom.com/paw/ , looks through the database and displays the thumbnails which are referenced in a field in the database table. Then if you click on an image, any of the images, you are sent to http://www.sleepytom.com/paw/PAW2.asp , with a querrystring appended to the address to show the appropriate image (like http://www.sleepytom.com/paw/PAW2.asp?i=100328 ). Once I get the pages programmed (Using Active Server Pages) I never have to program another web page for my PAW. Each time I have an update I do only 3 things: 1. I add the image information to my database 2. I upload the revised database 3. I upload the new images. Later if I don't like the way my web pages look I only need to reprogram 2 pages for the entire PAW gallery. I think this is the best way to do it - programming on-the-fly according to what the user wants to see. I love dynamic html content. I never even programmed a page called http://www.sleepytom.com/paw/PAW2.asp?i=100328 , I only programmed a page called http://www.sleepytom.com/paw/PAW2.asp and told it what to do when it encounters the querrystring (?i=100328 or whatever else it happens to be). Cool, huh? I like your images, especially the black and whites. Nicely done.
