Image Viewer for Web Site

I'm in the process of making a personal web site that I need an Image Viewer on, I know I could use Javascript to add one in, but I want something a little more flashy (pun intended) :P

I found this;
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/projects/tiltviewer/

I have a .html with my images in and it works, I've managed to shrink it down so that it doesn't take up the whole page either. However, when I try to insert it into my already existing page, it tells me I need Flash to view it and gives me a link to download Flash. Yet it works when I view the .html on it's own. Any ideas?

Or any suggestions on some good ones?

Thanks.

Nope, I wouldn't know how. Would it be any better?

This Flash malarky is giving me a load of grief!

Well, a CMS allows you to create content with in the web page itself, it doesn't require you to use a text editor or an application, however you can. I use drupal for my site and while my site is very basic because I am not using all the free built in cool themes, you can download things like nice images which is a module to help view images.

There are tons and tons of videos on how to use it, its quite simple, and there is a butt load of modules you can download to help run and build your site.

I'm using Dreamweaver at the moment to create my site. I have all the pages done, bar adding the image viewer, which is the only thing left. I have an index page with all the relevant links on it to the other pages, an about page and a contact page. I just need to add an image viewer to a few of 'em. Would I be able to do that with relative ease using Drupal?

Or, I guess I could use Java, I used it briefly in the past, however it did look very basic.
 
Just go check out www.drupal.org, you can edit whatever you want by CSS and you can create content. It is database driven. There is a lot you can do and with CSS skills you can make it look however you want.
 
I didn't really get what I needed to do when I looked at that site.

I'm really just looking for some code or something that I can use. I'd like the use the one I posted a link to in the first post, but that Flash error keeps appearing :cool:

you could download it for free, toss it on a box and see what you think. Here is a link to media modules that are built in and help you manage pictures, audio and video

http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/67

You just gotta scroll through them to find one you like.

Check out some of the videos on drupal school (google it) and you will see where there is some nice flash based image viewing modules already prebuilt.

Ultimately, a CMS is the way to go because there is so much you can do with it.
 
I'm on my iPod right now, so I can't really check out the site properly. Can I just install it on my PC? I'm guessing it's a tool that I use to update my site, too?

Thanks for the help!

It is a CMS so you install it on a web server. You must have a web server set up, then you upload (or if it is on your PC install) and install on your web server. It does require a database since it is database driven, quite easy to set up though. Once you have it up and running you can start creating content and downloading modules.
