Another Pop-Up Window Thread

[southsidesk8er1]

Well I've been part of this site for like 30 minutes now and well before posting this I looked at alot of the pages in this forum but can't find anything. I've also googled it and nothing helps so I'm asking for some help.
So first thing is I'm making this site http://www.southwestelitekennels.com for a friend. On the males and females pages I have the view more pictures opening in a new window. I want to make it look more professional by putting a fixed width of 950 and a height of about 400 and at the same time I want the verticle scrollbar.
Once again, I did my homework before I posted this and nothing helped me out or answered my questions....

Hi ,

you would be best making all the thumbnail images on one page linked to the larger versions for your pop up window. eg.

<a href="image.jpg" target="newwin" onClick="window.open('image.jpg', 'newwin',  config='width=950, height=400, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizeable=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no,'); return false"><img src="thumbnail.jpg" width="50" height="50" border="0" alt="click to view large image"></a>

hope this helps.

thanks for the help. but thats not what im looking for cause if I can't do it with the pictures, I still want to do it with the pedigrees.

I think you may have been confused by Krak's inclusion of the thumbnail image in the link.
If you change the line

<a href="Mutumbo.html" target="_blank">View More Pictures</a>

to

<a href="Mutumbo.html" target="newwin" onClick="window.open('image.jpg', 'newwin',  config='width=950, height=400, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizeable=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no,'); return false">View More Pictures</a>

it should work as required.
Note that in IE7 beta the user can opt to have pop-ups open as a new tab, which renders the window sizing useless!

alright, thanks alot

alright, thanks alot

It's a pleasure ... did it work?

[southsidesk8er1]

well do I have to have the 'image.jpg' part of the tag? I just want it to open in a new fixed window and scroll vertically.

Have you tried the popupmaker http://www.ahfb2000.com/popupmakertool.php ? You can use a fixed width and height, if the image is taller or wider it will scroll if set in the tool to do so.

Sorry, that was a typo.
Should have read

<a href="Mutumbo.html" target="newwin" onClick="window.open('Mutumbo.html', 'newwin',  config='width=950, height=400, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizeable=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no,'); return false">View More Pictures</a>

That opens the right page for me, in a correctly sized window.(after I changed the links from relative paths, of course!)
