Link that give a popup image

[sushigirl]

Ok,
I want to make a link...
If you click on the link, you will have a popup image that you will be able to close and get back to the original page.

How do I do that?
Thanks for your help!

There are two ways to do it. One is using the 'target' attribute.

<a href="somewhere.htm" target="_blank">

This method isn't really correct where semantecs are concerned, and some pop-up blockers will stop it.

The other is with JavaScript:

<a href="somewhere.htm" onClick="window.open('somewhere.htm')">

This way tends to be more accessible because if javascript is disabled, the user still gets to the file because the href is set. :)

Bear in mind, though, that any method you use to create 'popups' has a chance of getting blocked by popup blockers.
