JS is definitely not my strong suit. I can cobble some simple scripts together with some trial-n-error. That's what I'm doing right now, but I would like some help to expediate matters.

I have a thumbnail. Its linked to an image. The image opens in a new window.
How do I fit the new window to the image's dimensions?

I'll be using whatever.document.write('<html>');
for the new window, but I'm having problems figuring out how to get the height/width and passing them on.

Mucho appreciated.
