WOO HOO! AWESOME! The best part is that you understand. If you didn’t understand then it would be a mess in the future.

You know I want to see that when it is finished right? We worked so hard on it, it is like a child to me…hahahah…just kidding.🙂

This is non-Flash related but its related to my menu, using HTML how can I get the user to click an image (a JPG), and have it open in a new window that fits the size of the image being viewed, I can only get it to open the window in a small size…

Hehe, javascript is my area. I included an .txt file on creating pop-up windows in HTML. I hope it helps. I have attached it to many posts on this forum and everyone that has read it has been able to get it to work, so you shouldn’t have a problem.

Yes, we are finally there=) !!!

I wish you luck on your site leo, no matter what you decide to do:) If you have a lot of images it is probably better you put them in the frame, because the code in your page could get redundant and I never wrote a .txt file for the “advanced” pop-up windows.

I have about 100 images I want ppl to be able to view, obviously not all on the same page, about 12 pics of each car (9 cars in total) - I’ll just get a real simple Java, I just dont want to have to make a new HTML page for each image…

Hehe, that is what I like about PHP. You can create 1 page and have your images load in there dynamically. I am still learning PHP, so please don’t ask me how to do that.

Ok, I am going to try and explain my other way of popping up windows. I am typing this right here right now, so if there are any errors let me know. (Please replace [] with \<\> since the board converts HTML I had to do that)

First I want you to copy and paste this code in between your [HEAD] [/HEAD] tags.

```php
<SCRIPT LANUGAGE="javascript">
<!--
function newWin(page,winName,w,h,scrollb,resize) {
var win=null;
centerWidth = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
centerHeight = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+centerHeight+',left='+centerWidth+',scrollbars='+scrollb+',resizable='+resize+''
win = window.open(page,winName,settings);
}
-->
</SCRIPT>

```

This creates your function to pop up the windows. This only has to go in there once. Unlike the first one I sent you, that had to go in every time you wanted a new window. You would have copied and pasted that 100 times, that would have sucked.

Ok, now I will guide you through using this on a link (I am using text, but the same method can be used in the getURL of flash).

```php
<A HREF="javascript:newWin('http://www.lostinbeta.com','lostinbeta','300','200','0','0')">Open New Window</A>

```

Ok, now to explain this. The way the function goes is this

\<B\>newWin(‘URL’, ‘windowName’, ‘width’, ‘height’, ‘scrollable’, ‘resizeable’)\</B\>

0 = False  
1 = True, so if you want it to be resizeable just change 0 to 1.

All you have to do is add that code to your links for your images. Then you can change the height and width of each window directly in your link:)

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

PS: This will also center your pop-up window no matter what the screen resolution.
