Photo gallery-click to new window...

[Brightbelt]

Hi -
I'm on FP 2003, Win XP Pro, and I'm in the process of setting my photo
gallery so that when a user clicks a thumbnail photo, the larger version
appears in a new window. I'm following a tutorial online I found thru Google
and I'm resetting the target frame by going into the Photo Gallery Folder to
the page real.htm and resetting the hyperlink for the thumbnail. No problem
there. But how can I set the target frame so that it just conforms to the
size of the larger photo instead of being a whole new browser-sized page ? I
appreciate any help here...it would look so much better to see a photo-sized
window. Thanks,...Frank

Hi Tom -
Thank you for the tip. It's done. I am curious: is this add-in bulky on
extra code ?? Thanks,...Frank

Brightbelt,

I have used Jimco's Spawn and I can assure you it is only about 10 lines of
JS calling a standard function - window.open().

But it works like a charm :-D

more professional looking this way. I appreciate your time,...Frank

From a site visitor perspective, I now have to close a bunch of popup windows.

It would be better to create a single popup and then re-use for all photos, however you will then
loose the ability to re-size the popup for each image.
