yes, it's possible. please show some code so it's easier for us to help, namely your slideshow code and your popup code.

yes, the onclick can call a routine which checks if the window is open, if so then just update the source of the image with the correct image instead of closing and opening all the time.

<a href="javascriptopUpPortrait('../images/parada-militara/mari/defilare/parada-militara-001.jpg')"><img src="../images/parada-militara/thumbs/defilare/parada-militara-001.jpg" border="0"></a> " this is the code to open the pop-up window... this code was made by a friend, because i dont know much javascript

we also need to see the javascript function "popUpPortrait"

ups... sorry about that


function popUpLand(URL) {

day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width='+540+',height='+370);");
}


function popUpPortrait(URL) {

day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width='+390+',height='+550);");
}

function nextLink() {
var i = "parada-militara-036.jpg";
document.write();
}

ehhh.

there are a couple of ways to handle this. you are opening an image file in a new window, rather than opening an HTML page. therefore, you'll need to either a) modify your existing popup function to write actual HTML to the window, at which point you should be able to write HTML links to browse different images or b) handle this dynamically, using server-side script.

are you using any server-side scripting languages? ASP? PHP? ColdFusion?

i'm using PHP, and i prefere not to use HTML pages.. because there's a lot of pictures in that page and that would mean a lot of boring work

Nesscafe, if your desire is to write HTML "next" and "previous" buttons, what other method, other than HTML, do you want to utilize?

take a look at this slideshow I recently set up. if it's something you're interested in, I'll share the code.

it basically reads an image directory and dynamically displays the image and the links to other images.

actually, i won't share the code. sorry.

but i'll let you know how it's done. better post over in the PHP forum (forum434) if PHP is your desired route.

actualy i dont need a slideshow in html.. i need buttons for navigation in a pop-up window

 

[cLFlaVA]

you said you don't want to use HTML, and you don't want to use HTML pages. then my answer is simple: this is not possible.

And there's me thinking it was a womens perogative to change their mind!


nesscafe : your mate has specifically written this to always open a new window look

function popUpPortrait(URL) {

day = new Date();
[b]id = day.getTime();[/b]
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width='+390+',height='+550);");
}

they are creating a window object which is unique based on the time, so will always open a new window.

so if you change the code to this...

<script>
function popUpPortrait(URL) {

    if(!window.popwin){
        mypopwin = window.open(URL, 'popwin', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width='+390+',height='+550);
    }
    else{
        window.popwin.location.href = URL;
    }
    
    mypopwin.focus();
}
</script>

this should do the trick
