javascript:openWindow(); help

[LittleJoe]

ok... so here's the page:

http://www.kateisfamous.com/photos.html

Im building up this site right now. On the photo page I wanted the user to be able to click the thumbnail and have the full photo pop up in a new, sized, window.

I used javascript... first time Ive messed with it as Im new to design.... it works great in Safari and Firefox but wont work in Internext Explorer.

Can anyone with a little more experience take a look at the source and tell me what Im missing? Thanks in advance!

Perhaps try Lightbox instead. Most people really hate popups and would rather see the image in the same window. This is sort of a best of both worlds (yet much more pretty).

second argument

Do not use '.' in the second argument you are passing to window.open
Instead 'KateIsFamous.com' try ''KateIsFamous' and it will work

 

[crees!]

Or you can use SlideshowPro and SlideshowPro Director which just rocks.

that's pretty slick! thanks for posting it


littlejoe- the colors on that site are blinding! hah. but i like the design/style, as it certainly achieves an effect (ideally the one you are going for).. cool

I have a Web page of the site I am working on that has what your looking for:

<a href="/images/somepicture.jpg" target="_blank" 
onClick="window.open(this.href,'new','width=500, height=375');return false;"><img 
src="/images/somepicturethumb.jpg" alt="company sign" width="100" height="90" />Blah Blah Blah</a>

Hope this helps!

Priceless post! Now why hadn't I heard about it before?

I went the Lightbox route (meme) too!
