Pop up window to the right

[rachums]

Hi, I am new to this and am having problems with my script. What I have is a script that opens an image sized window. It works nicely for me BUT I want the new window to be oriented on the right of the screen, centered horizontally. I have tried to just muddle my way through but alas, I have gotten nowhere. If someone could please lend their knowledge to my project, I would very much appreciate it.

Here is the script:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
function showpic(url){
var newImg = document.createElement("img");
newImg.setAttribute("src",url);
//create image sized window
var winProps = "width="+newImg.width+", height="+newImg.height+", scrollbars=no, toolbar=no, directories=no, menu bar=no, resizable=yes, status=yes";
newwindow=open(url,"Picture",winProps);
}
</SCRIPT>

Thanks,
Rachael

I believe that there is a javascript command that looks like this...
window.moveTo(x, y);

have that in the new window and run it onLoad

You could easily modify this code to do that for you: http://www.infinitypages.com/research/centeredpopup.htm

var wt = screen.availWidth;
var imgWt = newImg.width;
var imgHt = newImg.height;
var leftPos = wt - imgWt;

var winProps = "width="+imgWt+", height="+imgHt+", left = "+leftPos+", scrollbars=no, toolbar=no, directories=no, menu bar=no, resizable=yes, status=yes";

Thanks, I used SlankenOgen's solution and the window is now opening to the right. But, I have another snag. When the link is clicked, the pop up window opens the first time as this tiny little thing, not image sized, its a few px. BUT when I close the window and click the link again, the pop up is a properly sized window. What could cause this? Any ideas? Thanks for all the suggestions!

Can you post a url where I can see it?

You could also add

Picture.resizeTo(imgWt, imgHt);
Picture.moveTo(leftPos, 0);

the page is not online and I don't have any place to put it online at the moment. I am working in Dreamweaver on Mac and "previewing" the page in IE 5. Could it be an issue with my system?
Thanks,

You will need to test it online to know for sure.

Thanks, I'll probably be back when it is online!
