Hi Kev

Yes it's possible, but not exactly the way you put it.

<a href="photos.asp?photothumbs1=1">  <--- Notice the GET parameter
<img src="images/piano.jpg" width="198" height="315" alt="" border="0">
</a>

In your script photo.asp, fetch 'photothumbs1' from the query string, and
generate the according page with the image.

cheers,
    Eric
