Picture swap question

[Don]

I'm very new to FP. I have published my website but it's nothing extensive,
a few pages with some pictures on it. For the most part the picture pages
are thumbnails. I'd like to change that on a new addition. I'm working
with the "swap" feature. Here's how I'm doing it.
I have several pictures on the page. All of these pictures have been added
by copy and paste. The pictures are small. I click on the picture to
highlight it, and choose the option "on event (mouse over)" the format
"swap" and then I choose the picture.
When my mouse moves over the picture it doesn't fill the entire screen yet
the picture I'm swapping with is 600 x 450 pixels.
I know it must be me but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, can anyone
help?
Thanks,
Don............

When you do a image swap, the new image uses the size of the original image that it is replacing.

If the original picture is displayed at, say 200x300px, then the
replacement will be displayed at 200x300px, regardless of the physical
size of the pictures.

In other words, if you wish to display an image at 600 x 450 pixels,
it must be swapped with an image that is already displayed at that
size.
www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/rollover.htm explains how.

Or, if you remove the dimensions from the pre-existing image altogether,
then the incoming image will be sized as needed. BUT - you will get what is
likely an unacceptible movement in the rest of the page as it adjusts to the
size change.
