I want to have a nice little image gallery on my page exactly like the ones in ebay which have one main picture, with lots of smaller thumbnails around and you can click to supersize the main picture.

I used the web photo album command but don't like the way it opens in a new page. I want users to be able to quickly, and easily flick through. Any ideas on what I can do? I looked at the swap image behaviour but I'm not entirely sure how it works.

There is an open source project called Gallery that might do what you want, but it's not WYSIWYG.

For this sort of gallery work Iframes can be excellent.

Fireworks will allow you to export HTML into Dreamwever with swap image actions over multiple png frames. The Imported HTML and GIF's need a bit of 'tidying up' but the results can be beautiful.

I did have a look at a few gallery options that my host offers as a free addon, but to be honest i don't want anything that big and want it to fit in with my template. I just wanted to show my product from different angles.

I'll have to have a play around with iframes and see what i come up with

Web Album Generator is a nice tool to build web albums with. Freeware from ornj.net
