Display image from image path (ASP)

Question

Help needed please. Sorry if the topic has already been
discussed. I did a search but it returned nothing.
My problem.
I can display images on my website by choosing the datasource
and the image path from by database. No issues here. What I want is
to be able to open up a larger image by clicking on this image.
I created another page. On this page is an image placeholder.
The source again is the datasource with the image path to a larger
image. I used a behaviour to open this page however, it shows the
same image (the 1st record in my recordset) whichever image you
click on my origianl page.
Can someone please tell me how to do it? It would be
appreciated.

Answer 1

I'm assuming that you are using a repeat region to display
the original
images.
You will need to pass the Primary Key to the new page, and
filter the
recordset on the new page based on that Primary Key.
For example, this would be the link to the new page:
<a
href="page2.asp?ID=<%=(rsImages.Fields.Item("ImageID").Value)%>"
Then on the new page filter the recordset SQL based on the
ImageID,
something like this:
<%
Dim rsImage__MMColParam
rsImage__MMColParam = "1"
If (Request.QueryString("ID") <> "") Then
rsImage__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("ID")
End If
%>
<%
Dim rsImage
Dim rsImage_cmd
Dim rsImage_numRows
Set rsImage_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
rsImage_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_connImage_STRING
rsImage_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM tblImages WHERE
ImageID = ?"
rsImage_cmd.Prepared = true
rsImage_cmd.Parameters.Append
rsImage_cmd.CreateParameter("param1", 5,
1, -1, rsImage__MMColParam) ' adDouble
Set rsImage = rsImage_cmd.Execute
rsImage_numRows = 0
%>
