Help with the file upload control

Well I am a real newbie to this, so my question might sound lame:
It would be nice if the Gallery section of a site I am trying to make, has a file upload option. It was no challange to find the file upload control, but the problem is that I want my site to show only the pic's thumbnails, while the pictures are actually hosted somewhere else.
Is it possible at all to upload thumbnail+ link to the actual location of the file using this control?
A suggestion for a nice tutorial would be realy helpfull, if noone feels like going into details
I am using FrontPage 2003

Thanks in advance!

hey, yeah for sure it is. you'll need a language like php though. or at least i don't know if you can do it with just strait html (i doubt it).

Lipo, i have a little gallery script in PHP i'd be willing to share with you, (if you don't use it to make money under the GPL etc.) so if you PM me, or email me, i can get it to you.

You can't do much, beyond describing a document (and even that only partially) with straight HTML. If you want the images to be hosted elsewhere, you aren't really looking for an upload at all; you probably just want people to submit the URLs of the existing images online, right? You'll still need server side code (written using CGI or PHP, for example), but you don't actually want to use file uploading; just a text field will do.
