In my pop up windows the title (on the very top) is given as the full file name of the referenced image. I want to edit that and instead have it give some kind of description of the image.

<SCRIPT>
function openwindow(open){
window.open(open,&quot;Popup&quot;,&quot;toolbar=0, location=0, directories=0, status=0, menubar=0, scrollbars=0, resizable=0, width=350, height=250, top=0, left=0&quot;)
}
</SCRIPT>

Try this:

<SCRIPT>
function openwindow(open, imtitle){
var newwin = window.open(open,&quot;Popup&quot;,&quot;toolbar=0, location=0, directories=0, status=0, menubar=0, scrollbars=0, resizable=0, width=350, height=250, top=0, left=0&quot;);

newwin.title = imtitle;
}
</SCRIPT>

Little mistake in the last line of the script, it should be:

newwin.document.title = imtitle;

That shouldnt work, at least not online!
I tried it for a frameset and it didnt work with
parent.title but that is caused by my server.

I hope this helps, BobbaFet

OK, the solution maybe slightly &quot;longer&quot; than you expected, but it's a right way of doing this.

function openwindow(image, winTitle) {

newwin=window.open(&quot;&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;toolbar=0, location=0, directories=0, status=0, menubar=0, scrollbars=0, resizable=0, width=350, height=250, top=0, left=0&quot;);
newwin.document.open();
newwin.document.write('<html><body>');
newwin.document.write('<title>', winTitle, '</title>');
newwin.document.write(image);
newwin.document.write('</body></html>');
newwin.document.close();
}


<a href=&quot;javascript:eek:penwindow('Potential%20Graphics/ EXCEL%20QUICK%20MATH%20ANswer.jpg', 'Page Title')&quot;>&quot;NUM&quot;</a>

This works in IE and Netscape 4/6.
Try to use always the complete code for pop-up windows and you'll avoid many troubles.
