I want to open this window with an image instead of a text link that is activated like so:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

<a href="#" onClick="open_win( ' ' ) ;return false;">Click here</a>

What kind of string do i need for this?

Just keep in mind that the <a href="#"> construct itself is amateur junk, and has side effects you most likely didn't intend, even in IE.

Interesting, could you elaborate some more on that? What would be a better approach?

Thanks UPSGuy for your helping hand

I just tried it out and it gave the same result when using the text link.



As you can see the image won't show, i do my preview in FF.

Could somebody give some pointers on this one because i am real close, the pop up is showen when called on by clicking the image that you see above but offcourse this is not what i want, i do want the picture to appear and not the space that should hold the image

is the image saved on the server where your img source is pointing too?

See the path of the image, there is no problem in the code, i think that u must check the image path may be that is missing from here...Bye

The image i saved on my desktop and i preview all my images like this... in my browser.

What line stands for the image path?
Everything works fine with other images, not with the code but the images in general.

<a href="#" onClick="open_win( ' ' ) ;return false;">
<img src="yourPic.gif">
</a>

the above code will work for u, put the programming file and the image file in the same folder

Thanks for the line my friend but this line is not the best to use, it's not very compatible with different browser types as i also have been reading somewhere else and just like trip of the tongue wrote it is junk and not worthy of using, nothing personal my friend it's just the <a href="#"> construct is not the best option to use.

I have found this code that should be the best option for opening a new window and is also compatible with non javascript supporting browsers only i'm having trouble getting the values inserted right.

This is the code:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

<a href="med/DSCN2062.jpg"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('med/DSCN2062.jpg',
'Photo','width=800,height=600'); return false;">
<img src="DSCN2062.jpg"
width="120" height="90" border="0" alt="" /></a>

1. <a href="med/DSCN2062.jpg"
2. onclick="MM_openBrWindow('med/DSCN2062.jpg',
3. 'Photo','width=800,height=600'); return false;">
4. <img src="DSCN2062.jpg"
5. width="120" height="90" border="0" alt="" /></a>

I have a page called - page2 - and i would like the window to open at a size of 850x450 and i want an link from an image called object.gif how would i fill this in the code above, how would the code look like then?

<a href="Javascript:" onClick="open_win('test2.html');">
<img src="object.gif">
</a>

<script>
function open_win(f)
{
amit = window.open(f,'amit','statusbar=no,width=850,height=450');
amit.focus();
}
</script>

Thanks for your help! Was the code i posted above not good because i noticed you posted a different code from the one i posted.

September 5th, 2005, 5:36 am

You have picked up half of the code, so i posted this one. Is it working for u.

September 5th, 2005, 5:55 am

I've just tried it out right now but it isn't working, the image still doesn't show and an additional window popped up with the title java console

Oh did i? I have to check if i can find the page again where i found the code.

I just realize i still have something in the header maybe this is the problem of conflict perhaps.
I will remove this and check back, i will also try if i can find where i found the code i picked up only half.

This should be a very good code because it is not dependant on javascript.
