Opening images in simple new windows

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: AngstMerchant

I want to create a gallery page that will open images in a new window. I want the new window to have a title bar with the minimize/resize/close icons and that is it. Can I do this without Javascript?? Also, will this affect Mac users??

I would just use this dhtml - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/newwindow.htm

The instructions getting this installed are pretty self explainitory but let me know if you need additional assistance

Thanks for the prompt reply, Mobster. I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough in my first post regarding what precisely I'm looking for. I would like my images to appear in a window like this one.

Of course, the homestarrunner guys are doing this through Flash but I would like to do it through one of the mark-up languages. Any ideas??

I think (..stands back and waits to be corrected) that you will find its javascipt, flash or nothing to achieve what you are trying to achieve. Any particular reason you don't want to use javascript for 1 line new window goodliness??

as far as mac users go, the most common problem you'll come accross with something like this is the window wont automatically open, the user will be asked first with some non user friendly warning...

I made this a couple months ago.

That's a linux script to generate a photo gallery with pop up windows. Here's an example of what it looks like: http://pw1.netcom.com/~estraws/chess/

I'm probably going to be canceling that old netcom account soon, and I'm not sure if I'm going to put the page back up at comcast, so that link may not work for ever.

If you're not running Linux, you can still snatch the popup javascript out of that.

Here is what I think you need:

<FORM>
<INPUT type="button" value="New Window!"
onClick="window.open('http://www.velocity.net/~digital/open_wind.html','mywindow','width=400,height=200')">
</FORM>
