    HTML help
    Hello all,
    I am trying to design a web page for display of my photo's only. Is there a way to insert an object box, then have the box randomly display photos from a storage folder? I have written some html before, but it's been many years. In the past, I just had links to various pages, but that is not what I want to do with this page. I want just one main page with random pictures displaying in a couple of windows. Example is...Motorcycles/Vehicles...Sports...Nature/Landscape...Portraits. I have been reading on how to prevent copying pictures from my NYIP course, and am experimenting with that so that I can display slightly larger and better quality examples.
    I need to get something setup soon so that Chunk can show his biker buddies!!!! hehe

    Yes.
    How you do it depends on what your web server is and what scripting language you use.
    It's not just html you'll be using.

    Thanks Paul and ekstasis....I contacted my ISP and the kid I was speaking to had no idea what I was talking about, so he told me I needed to contact their web hosting service. But they're closed until tomorrow. I did read the article and considering it is dated sometime in 2003...I'm hoping that there won't be much of a problem. I'll keep you up to date.
