I've been playing around with fotonotes lately, inspired by the cool stuff that Gina has been doing. She incorporated the overLIB javascript library with some back end GD code to create a dynamic html fotonotes viewer.

After looking at what Gina was doing, I thought there might be a way to create a dynamic html fotonotes viewer without using GD on the back end, and with some specialized javascript in place of overLIB. overLIB is awesome, but I wanted something a bit less heavy.

I incorporated a lot of the great ideas put forth in the comment thread of Gina's post about her viewer (and I gleaned a bit of javascript as well) to create a fotonotes viewer for the new photo album.

Here is the viewer at work from within' the gallery: Dog Park - Happy Dog

Here is a javascript include version of the viewer to allow me to post annotated images from within' this weblog.

My Father and his siblings

In the end, I'm just pickin' scraps from Gina's table, so many thanx to her and all the good people who posted comments to her entry.

update: some weird positioning problems in IE while scrolling a page with an image with notes, sorting it out...if you are using IE and want to see it work, go the the photo gallery. Also, the notes do not work in IE 5 for macintosh at all. I was able to sort out the IE on widows issue. For IE on mac, well, let's just say that browser is dead to me.
