Open window with white background?

[jcalar]

I am using a Javascript function to open a small window containing a photo "onClick"; but without making an HTML page to go in there (I want it only to contain the JPEG & don't want to have the extra steps & files involved in making a separate HTML page for each photo, as there are many of them) -- I am wondering if I can make the background color of that new window white? The current description of the new window is:

window.open(html,"photo",'toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=0,width=270,height=235');

I've tried adding a "bkcolor" in there but that doesn't seem to work... any ideas??

Why dont you use a div with img tag in it and just keep replacing the source(image file name). That way you wouldnt need any window.opens and also you can have white background for the div tag. Badrinath Chebbi

isnt the color of the window already white? The pen is mightier than the sword.

Chebbi -- can you give me an example?

Dookie -- the default color (gray) shows up behind the photo.

this should work:

var newWindow = window.open(html,"photo",'toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=0,width=270,height=235');
newWindow.document.bgColor = "white";

No luck with that, the background is still gray.

I should have mentioned I'm checking this in Netscape. In IE, the background IS white already.

try this :
newWindow.document.bgColor="white";
thats how NS says to do it in this link --
