Javascript script suggestions

I'm after a script that will loop through a folder of images, resize them automatically to create thumbnails and display the in some sort of gallery with lightbox-esque viewing of the full size images.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Cheers.

Javascript isn't going to be the ticket for this one - for lightbox yes, but for the reading/resizing of images, no.

For that you'll need to use a server-side language (PHP/ASP.NET/Classic ASP + Image manipulation object). If you have access to any of those it's an easy job.

Does your hosting cover server side languages?

Sorry, probably a bit specific when I mentioned JS - the rest of the site is in PHP so if you could point me in the right direction I should be OK?

Have a look at something the GD library if your its installed on your server.
