Tag Clouds

[junior84]

hello,

does anyone have any good links to tutorials for making tag clouds?

ultimately i want to make photo tag clouds..

so making a cloud made up of photos, there size depending on their popularity with tags, done dynamically, not through prewritten values.

any clues?

I think junior here wants an image collage...

[pcbrainbuster]

LOL - Then why not just use img tag to place all the images...

[junior84]

i could do img tags..

then use javascript to give the images the name and size from tags.

any tips for that?

its been so long since ive coded properly and tested myself ive forgotten what i know!!

Depends on where the rank is coming from. Is it a property of the image?
eg.

<img rank="4" ...>

No, not quite. A "tag cloud" is something like this.

junior84, you can't do this client-side. You need to use a server-side language such as PHP.

right (cheers for bearing with an idiot btw)

this is the start of a project, therefore not got a lot to work with..

i want to be able to convert this

so that i can adjust the img sizes that come through depending on certain variables that i will bring it later..

And what server-side language(s) are you using?
