    If you use picasa or any iframe then you're losing potential SEO points in image captions, etc.

    So if it's a site for a business I'd reconsider that.

    Is there a reason for doing it in just HTML? There are lots of options if you use JavaScript, and if you can combine that with PHP for thumbnail generation you get a McG better result that runs faster, has pagination options and is easier to maintain.

    reason im using HTML only is because thats all i know, i can go with javascript if theres some kind of easy to use template, most solutions require stuff like PHP which i cant use on the webhosting package i have, i didnt get with PHP because i cant use it.

    cheers for the help so far!

    p.s. a search engine not recognising the images isnt a big deal seeing as its a fashion website so the items arent easily distinguishable through simple search terms

    Maybe try something like this tutorial

    http://www.webreference.com/programming/css_gallery/

    There are better solutions (e.g. jQuery) but if you don't know any programming whatsoever the above tutorial might be the best option for you.

    Have a look at how to embed a pix.ie gallery into your site
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056139776

    It is a nice feature that will allow the business to expand the gallery on pix.ie and auto update to the website.

    what about jquery based gallery

    something like this

    there is a tutorial on how to do it

    just put your reference to each of the image in the page and off you go add jquery library and off you go.



    Also if time is pressing get the images linked from the picassa up and just manually create the pages in HTML fix up something more user friendly after the rush.
