Wakkos Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Azylum's Secret Lab Insane since: Oct 2000	posted 01-11-2001 14:37 Hello, it´s me boring again. How do i do if i have an image thumbnail and i want it to link to a big image but in a new windows, of the size of the image, i can use the javascript launchnow) doc´s code but i´ll have to crate "each" one of the html files for every image (are too many). There´s not a simple way to just open the images in a new explorer window? I mean, not to create each html file, just upload the images and open it when making click... I know there´s a way, but i´m not programmer and i can´t remember how.... Thanks

I don't know Doc's "launchnow," but, here's what I use, it's probably similar: function createPopup(url) { Popup = window.open(url,"Popup","toolbar=no,width=400,height=400,directories=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=no"); } Then use the following for your link: <A HREF="javascript:createPopup('image.jpg');"></A> Where "image.jpg" is, you can put either an HTML document or an image.

The only way I know how to set it is in the function -- I can't figure out how to carry it those variables over from the link. (Anyone know a way?) Incidentally, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask anyone who launches new windows like this to let the status bar remain. You can take everything else away, but I still like to know if anything is actually happening while I'm waiting for the content to load in the new window. Too often, I end up staring at a newly launched window that remains blank for too long and I can't tell if anything is actually going on.

I was trying something similar that didn't work; I didn't realize the +winHeight+ bit would work like that. Thanks. BTW, I didn't read further than that, so someone may have added what I'm about to add. You mentioned adding <BODY ONLOAD="this.focus()"> to the document in the pop-up window to bring it back to the top if you load something new into it. Try using this in the pop-up function instead: setTimeout('Popup.focus()',500); Does the same thing and you only have to add it to the function, rather than every document that will load in the pop-up.

Hmm? What? Oh, let's see. I don't know Doc's "launchnow," but, here's what I use, it's probably similar:

<A HREF="javascript:createPopup('image.jpg');"></A>

Trix, i think that you can use this, that create a custom html file and variate only the image:

function popimage(imagesrc,winwidth,winheight){
var look='width='+winwidth+',height='+winheight+','
popwin=window.open("","",look)
popwin.document.open()
popwin.document.write('<title>Image Window</title><body><img src="'+imagesrc+'"></body>')
popwin.document.close()
}

and the link will look like this:

<a href="#" onClick="popimage('image.jpg',200,200);return false">pop</a>

It worked for me, thank to Wes for helping me!!!
