Topic awaiting preservation: Question on window.open()

OK, it's been a while since I've tried messing around with JS, and I've got me a question. Is it possible to open up a new window using window.open() that has document margin and padding values set to 0? I would like to do this because I want to just load an image (not an html page) in a pop-up, and I'd like to get rid of the default margin/padding.

I suspect that the answer is "No," but I figure it can't hurt to ask, especially when there are so many people here who understand these things far better than I.

I think krets uses a modified version of the one I wrote. I have recently made some mods to it myself and you can see the latest on that flower site of Wella's in the gallery... http://www.theflowerbuds.com/

For that version, I load the css file for the site and add some padding because I wanted the images overlayed against the backround of the site. But just take a look at the code and it should be pretty obvious where to set those values to zero.

Ah, thanks guys. I knew you'd come through.

I'll take a look at the code when I get the chance... this is a bit of a "back burner" project for me at the moment, considering my workload. I will let you know how it works out, though.

Well, it only took me two weeks to sit down and pound out the code. Much thanks to the advice from InI and Bugs. I used Bugs' JS code as a model for my own script, which you can now see in action (just start clicking on the photos).

I've had one tester look at it so far, and besides a few minor (and likely browser-specific) quirks, it seems to work reasonably well. For some reason, Netscape 6 ignores my no scrollbar directive for the horizontally-oriented windows. Rather than try to figure out why this is and hack around it, I decided to just make all the windows resizable, so if you get scrollbars, you can just resize until they disappear. Firefox also seems to add a small clickable area beneath the photo itself--I have no idea why.

I can live with minor quirks like that, though, as long as it works.

Thanks again for the help. You guys are da bomb.

[Edit: Oh, if you do happen to notice any fatal flaws, I'd of course like to hear about them]
