So this is my site, clicking hte view button on a thumbnail loads the picture in it's full res to view in the window, but for some reason it doesn't work in IE. Can anyone explain why?

Why have a button anyway? You should just make the thumbnail a link.

I'd rather use the thumbnail by preference, the trouble was I couldn't figure out how to make the thumbnail work in the same way as my button is - here's the code that my button uses

echo '</tr><tr><td class="photo"><br>'.$trimname.'<br><img src="'.$file.'" alt="'.$file.'"/><p><center><form method="post" action="displaypic.php" class="button"><input type="hidden" name="pass" value="'.$trimname.'.jpg"><br><button>"View</button></form></center></td>';

Trouble is I couldn't find a non-button way of passing on the information in the form (the displaypic.php uses the ".$trimname.'.jpg" information in the hidden input to check which photo it's meant to display. Hopefully you'll see what I mean.

In order to get this to work in IE, you'll have to use the <input> tag rather than the <button> tag as far as I know. I don't think that you can get around this.

If you'd like to make your thumbnail the link, then why not just put anchor tags around the image tag?

echo '<A href="displaypic.php?'.$trimname.'"><IMG src="'.$file.'" alt="'.$file.'"/></A>';

I don't know if that exact code will do what it's supposed to do given your variable names and such, but I think it's a start...Also notice that the style of sending information to displaypic.php is no longer a 'post' style, it's a 'query string' now. Up to you in terms of how you want to design it, but that should make your code work in IE as well as any other browser.

I hope this helps =).
