This is a first attempt to get photos of the wedding on the web. There is no attempt at ordering (that will come later) and no significant text.
The photoalbum is arranged in three layers: when you click on the [slideshow] link below, you start at the first layer, and get the first page of 16 thumbnail pictures (Slides). Currently the first 8 Slides are blank (reserved for sorting when Jacqui gets round to defining the order that pictures shall appear). On these pages there are VCR-like controls which allow you to move on t other pages of thumbnails (First, Previous, Next and Last). Currently there are four pages of thumbnails, but the last has only a few, awaiting more photos.
If you click on one of the thumbnail photos, you move to the second layer and get an information page about the photo and a repeat of the thumbnail you clicked on. The purpose of this page is to describe the action - who is there, what is going on etc. None of this information has been entered at the present time. Also on the information page is a small table for identification and indexing information. Again there is little information entered other than the filename of the picture and its location on Jacqui's Mac.
Finally, if you click on the thumbnail picture on the information page, you move to the third layer and get an enlarged (roughly screen-sized) copy of the photo. This is what it's all about.
On both the information pages and the large photo pages you can cycle through the pictures using VCR-like controls (First, Previous, Next and Last), and also choose to reurn to one of the previous layers(Info or Slide) or this introductory page. This makes it easier to skip all the junk and just look at the pictures.
To the best of my knowledge, all the links are working, and you shouldn't get any errors such as 'Page not found on this server'. If a photo comes up blank, then it doesn't exist. If you do find any links that are completely broken, or lead to strange results, please let me know by email so I can put things right.
Known bugs and problems
The links [Wedding Page] and [Slideshow] (sometimes) do not work on the first click. They always seem work on the second click and thereafter. I have not attepted to trace this problem so far - it's a very minor inconvenience: if clicking on these links does nothing, try again.
(The links are generated by a server-side php3 process, and it looks like a misunderstanding between PHP and Internet Explorer.)
