Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Pop-up Window</title>

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<a href="#" onClick="openBrWindow('popup.html','test','menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=200,height=300')">thumbnail</a>

</body>
</html>

This is how Dreamweaver does it.

Thanks Darren but as usual I'm missing something. I am trying to open a larger image of the t'nail if that makes a difference.

What's wrong with this code?

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Pop-up Window</title>

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<a href="#" onClick="openBrWindow('popup.htm','test','menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=200,height=300')"><img border="0" src="images/tn_JUICEDROPS031_jpg[1].jpg" width="100" height="75"></a>

<p>

<a href="images/Coshocton-Nov-20.jpg" onClick="openBrWindow('popup.htm','test','menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=200,height=300')"><img border="0" src="images/tn_JuiceDrops132_jpg[1].jpg" width="100" height="75"></a>

</p>

</body>
</html>

Thanks again for your help.

The url to the image needs to go in the javascript rather than the normal place, leave the hash(#) symbol in there. (see above)

THANKS Darren - It works just great and exactly what I wanted. And just in case others are reading this thread - YOU MUST VIEW IN THE BROWSER OTHERWISE YOU GET A SERVER BUSY ERROR.

Thanks again for your quick reply I really appreciate it.

When was you getting this message?

I use MS FP. If I choose Submit when in the Preview window of FP I get that error. If I preview in the Browser everything works dandy.

Do I take this to be strange only to me???

Bug in FrontPage 2000, I think there is a fix for it on Office Update, I had it myself, although 2002 works fine.

Darren, I wonder if you could please, help me out a little more.

The script works great but it sends the original page (from where the window was opened) back to the top-of-page.

Thanks a million.

OK, then create an anchor where you want the original window to stay (<a name="blabla">), and then change the link from "#" to "#blabla"). It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing Smile

I've never noticed that happening - it certainly doesn't happen in IE5 on my Mac.

I do remember one of my ex-colleagues at work (software developer) saying they didn't like dreamweaver's script because of the # in the href property. And I know they rewrote it to improve this. I don't know if it will cure your problem but I will try and track it down...

Code:

<a href="#" onClick="openBrWindow('test.html','test','menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=200,height=300'); return false;">hello</a>

Here you go...you need to add in return false at the end (see above), don't forget the semi colons.

This cures the problem for me with IE on Windows.

THANKS Darren. You came thru again buddy.

I'm NOt asking for this but just a thought should anyone have time to play with your script and enhance it. For example the ability for the external/remote window to close-down after maybe 10 secs or so and maybe the ability to open more than window at the same time.

Thanks once again I really appreciate your taking time-out to help I am gratefull.

Not really my script, as I said its just the one from Dreamweaver, but thanks anyway, glad to help.

Opening more than one window at a time is possible using this script. You just need to change the value of winName i.e. the 2nd value that currently says test in my example:

Code:

<a href="#" onClick="openBrWindow('test.html','test','menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=200,height=300'); return false;">hello</a>

You can also add other 'features', including screen position, experiment with the extra values included below:

Code:

<a href="#" onClick="openBrWindow('test.html','test','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=200,height=300,left=40,top=40')">hello</a>

Hope you don't mind I didn't start a new thread on this one.

I'm wondering now whether there is a way with the above script to make the remote window stay on top until it is actually closed by the user.

Thanks
