Opening New Windows that are a Specific Size

[travoholic]

Hello,

I want to have some photo thumbnails on a page and when they're clicked want to open a new window that is a specific size for an enlarged version of the photo without all the typical Explorer buttons at the top. I'm not sure if this is a programming or HTML question but could someone please point me in the right direction and tell me how this is done?

Thanks!
Kirsty

Try this tool (http://javascript.internet.com/generators/popup-window.html), its a good way to learn what popups can do.

Here is one way to do it, with Javascript:

function newWindow(p){// Function to open a new window
var win = "width=600,height=300,menubar=yes,toolbar=yes,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes";
window.open(p, "", win);
} //End of function newWindow

Then, in your HTML code, you'd have a statement similar to the following:

please visit the <a href="javascript:newWindow('LstSqrBackSam.html')">Background and Worked Example page</a> (opens in a new window).

Just would like to make a small and trivial change to DuncanM function:

... menubar = no, toolbar = no ...

so that you dont get the IE menus and buttons on your popup.

For your reference to all the properties of the window.open function:
