Open New Window

debbie1212 · Jan 22, 2003

I have a page that contains an image that was originally a lot larger than the screen so I reduced the size. I want the user to be able to click the image to view it full size in a new window. However none of the code I've found works the way I need it to. Since the new image is larger than the screen they will need to scroll it which is fine. Unfortunately the image is getting reduced to fit within the screen but I don't want it to.

This is one of the lines of code I used:

<a href="mthend1b.gif" onclick="window.open('mthend1b.gif','New','width=700,height=500','scrollbars=yes')" width=946 height=1267><img border="0" src="mthend1a.gif"></a>

Thanks,
Debbie

u change your code like this, perhaps it could help
i snip some of it....

Code:

onclick=&quot;window.open('mthend1b.gif','New','width=700,height=500,scrollbars=yes')&quot;

window.open (URL, window new name, window properties)
it only contains 3 parameters.

hope it helps

Try this one...

Code:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;><!--
function openWin(img) {
  winId = window.open('','newwin','width=300,height=400');
  winId.document.write('<body onLoad=&quot;if (window.focus) window.focus()&quot;><center>');
  winId.document.write('<img src=&quot;' + img + '&quot;>');
  winId.document.write('</center></body>');
  winId.document.close();
}
//--></script>

<a href=&quot;javascript:;&quot; onClick=&quot;openWin('image1.gif'); return false&quot;>image1</a>

I may not understand your problem but it seems to me that this will work.. simple code to.

<a target="newWindow" href="big_image.gif"><img src="small_image.gif" width="100" height="200" alt=""></a>
