What\'s On Your Desktop

Hi Krissel,  I can do this with my Pbase.com albums, but all my Mac.com ones don't show a link, its just a javascript page. So I go back and either use the origional image or put it on pbase and it is a link from pbase.
I will try this with Shutterfly and my others,  thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Just got pictures of new lambs and Border Collies this morning, so I will try it with these.

Yes, the smaller images on the "thumbnail" page do pop open a javascript which is of course the slide show. Once you do click on one of the small pics and the larger version is open within the slide show,  then  hold down the mouse over that image and drag to "open image in new window". You will get a totally new page with a link to copy.

You have to open the slide show first and let the image you want fully load before mousing down.
It does work.

 This picture

is from

this album.

I keep trying with all my other photo album sites, and I never get the direct link for an individual picture except Pbase.com.
Here is what I get when I try my Mac album pages, javascript for the slide shows,

Just learned how to do it with ImageEvent, still can't get it to work with the Mac album,,,,,,,,,,,,, Confusing for me?    
 Egads, Carter, edit this thing again, image waaaaay too big, but shows Max, my grandson up close, and that I am learning!

Didn't realize you were using Netscape.

Actually it's easier in Netscape.
Just go to the "Copy link location" or "Copy Image Location" in the popup and you have the address on your clipboard ready to paste.

Cute kid!  Just warn us when he goes out on the road.

Hi Krissel,  It works!  Thank you!  This is exactly what I need to do when I continue with my Photoshop classes.  I learn something new and good from you all every day!   I am beginning to feel somewhat more confident about maybe getting another Mac this fall, with OS X.  I know I will have some problems, but I know that I will get the help I will need right here on TS.

Terrific!

Two more bits of advice if you can stand it. If you want to link to the full size picture rather than the thumbnail, click on the picture and wait for it to load within the slide show, then mouse down and copy that link. The same pic you have above full-sized would be  

http://homepage.mac.com/janec3/.Pictures/2...20sunset%21.jpg

Notice the "thumnail" and additional numbers are absent from the address you have above.

Second, to avoid the extra wide box that occurs when you have a really long URL do the following:

•  In the Reply box, when you have reached the point in your post for the URL, click the URL box that is below the typing window (scroll down) under the "Instant UBB Code" label

•  Paste the URL in the window that pops open, click OK

•  A second blank window will present with the word "website" in it. Type a word or more to describe the page to which you are linking. Click OK.

You will get the above linked page in this form.  
 What a Sunset!
