opening a picture in the default image editing application

[ryansupak]

hi,

i've got a page that indexes a few thousand map images. when the filename for the appropriate image is clicked on, it wants to open the image in the browser window. i would like it to open the image in the default image editing program for that computer.

so, im assuming my code is like this:

***
<a href=&quot;.\Images\400foot\031-060\Z-060.tif&quot; target=&quot;picturewindow&quot;>Z-060.tif</a><br>
***

but &quot;picturewindow&quot; should be replaced with some other magic word that i don't know.

can anyone tell me what this magic word is?

thanks in advance,
ryan supak

You need the user client to point to an application. Therefore you need a file format that the browser does not recognize or do an ftp download so they can open on their own. If the browser recognizes the file, the file will open. DeZiner
