Greetings
I have just created an Image gallery for a client. When clicking on a thumbnail image a popup opens with the larger version of the same image shown. Seeing that there are quite a few of them, I don't want to write a html page for each one. Somehow the javascript needs to tell wich image to insert into the popup depending on which thumbnail was clicked.
Hope this makes sense ....

Hi

This is what I did in a similar situation

function popup(image) {
win = window.open('', '', 'toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,top=50,left=50,height=450,width=650');
win.document.open();
win.document.write(&quot;<html><head><title>View Image</title></head>&quot;);
win.document.write(&quot;<body><img src=&quot;+image+&quot;></body></html>&quot;);
win.document.close();
}

Then to each thumbnail add

<a href=javascript:popup('pathtolargeimage')>

Hope this helps

--------------------------------
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

It works ...
Great thanx a lot. One question though, I have created one popup html file (it has image decorations, coloured background etc.) how would I use that file and load the relevant large image into it?

just view source of the page you have created for your popup, and change it into a series of win.document.write(); like gpzcrasher used:
Code: 
win.document.write(&quot;<html><head><title>View Image</title></head>&quot;);

just use one for every line in your .html file




Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]
Code: 
[/ignore][code]CodeHere
[ignore][/code][/ignore].
