Fit Graphic to Window? 1

[dRahme]

Hi, I am pretty much a newbie at this stuff and am using NVU to practice with.

My question is, if you set a link to open in a new window, can you size the window to fit the graphic?

A 6" Graphic contained within a 6" window so you don't see the dead space, for example.

Thanks, drahme

You cannot set window widths in inches - you can only specify pixels. You would use:

<a href="imageFilename.jpg" onclick="void(window.open(this.href, '', 'width=600,height=400')); return(false);">Click here</a>

Hope this helps,

It had to be done... otherwise a trip to the JS forum would have been needed ;-)

Hi, thanks for the help. It works fine.

I don't understand what this:

void(window.open

and this:

return(false);

means. Could you elaborate a bit?

Last question if you have time.

Is there a way to move the window to a particular location,
sort of like docmd.movesize in vba?

Thanks again, drahme

"void" simply stops the return value being passed back to the page.

"return (false)" stops the anchor opening the original image (users without JS will still see the image, though).

To move the window to a certain location add "left=n,top=n" to the 3rd paremeter in the open call.
