I'm looking for any info about thumbnail sliders.
I've created an art gallery site and have lots of links to other artists.
I really don't want a page full of links, and think it may be more fun for visitors to scroll through thumbnails of pictorial links with URLs to other sites.

I've only seen the thumbnail scroll that open up for a larger view on the same page. I just want a horizontal bar to scroll through, click on an image to send the viewer to the site.

Is this even possible?

1. I've used Flash, although Javascript/CSS might be better
Since Apple iPads and iPhones (I think) don't support Flash (it's the enemy of their Quicktime product). Too bad. Do you plan to do the coding?

2. Well, I was hoping to avoid coding.
I'm basically a newbie and it's taken me a year to just about complete the site - learning HTML from scratch. I'm so tired of codes right now, so I was hoping to find software or even the script for such a thing would be great.

3. Nevermind, I think I found what I'm looking for.
I should have used the word scrolling instead of sliding for better search results.

If interested in this type of thing, I found some good ones for cheap at http://www.flashtory.com/flash-components/advanced-glow-scrolling-menu-horizontal

4. Yeah that looks like a well written Menu....
That scrolling menu looks great, and thanks for supporting the developer community.

BTW, the artwork on your website looks spectacular too. Good luck!

5. Hey, thanks for the thumbs up! It's nice to
have a second opinion on a purchase and nice knowing I've done a good thing by supporting the developer community.

And thanks for the great review of the site! I really appreciate that :)
