A Question

Ok.

1. How would I go about making a graphic open up in it's own window, it's own size, and have it close when the viewer clicks anywhere on it? (like on Paavo's gallery)

Thanks.

Here is a sample from my site that should point you in the right direction. Now Paavo or another of our great Javascript coders may be able to write something a little less cody,

< a href="javascript:void(0);" target="_blank" onClick="OpenWindow('gallery/photo1.htm', 'aruna', 400,315,'scrollbars=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,resizable=no'); return false" onMouseOver="window.status='Aruna Mohanty @ the Recording Lair';return true" onMouseOut="window.status='Mardala.com';return true">[¥] < /a >


Then in a javascript section I would define OpenWindow() like this:

function OpenWindow( url, name, width, height, options )
{
var newWin = window.open( url, name, "width=" + width + ",height=" + height + "," + options );
newWin.focus();
}


Then on the html page that opens up with the picture I have a close window:

a href="javascript:window.close()"

Now I know Paavo has mentioned a script that will open a window without having to create a new html document. That would be useful to start out with rather than my labor intensive method.

Oh.
I have it automated with PHP, so all that is needed is to upload the images and thumbs into a folder called "gallery".
The full images are saved as a .jpg, and the thumbs as in
th_fullimagename.gif.

The source in it's whole:
[PHP]
echo "



Gallery

(under construction)

"; $dir="gallery"; $dp=opendir($dir); while($file=readdir($dp)){if(strchr($file,"jpg")){$kuva[]=$file;}} closedir($dp); $egg=0; for($i=0;$i$egg++; if($egg>=6){$row="";$egg=0;} else{$row="";} $kuva[$i]=str_replace(".jpg","",$kuva[$i]); $info=getimagesize("gallery/".$kuva[$i].".jpg"); $height=$info[1]; $width=$info[0]; echo "$row\n"; } echo " href=\"#\"onClick=newwin=window.open('','','height=$height,width=$width,top=10,left=10');uusiikkuna('$kuva[$i]')>

"; echo " This is the astudios gallery. After the \"meltdown\" of the old server, I haven't had time to upload all the images I had on the old site. It's pure hell to go through ones hard drive, and try to find every damn image made. x| Anywhoo, click on a thumbnail to view the image, and click the image to close its window. "; echo "

";

[/PHP]

I also posted a link in the resources forum that does what you are talking about. It's under the cool scripts section.

Paavo you are "da man"

Wow, thanks guys!

However, now, it looks like I'm gonna have to switch hosts, damn homestead doesn't support php. :(
