new window popup

[Xylicon]

im using Frontpage XP and i wanna know how to link an image so that when a person clicks on the link it will open up the image in a new window so they don't have to keep clicking the back button they just have to click the "X"

:confused:

[khalidali63]

add an onclick event in the image tag,
in the onclick event put this code
onclick="javascript:window.open('imageUrl.gif','newWin')"

Or just use plain html...

<a href="here.html" target="_blank"><img src="image.gif" /></a>

1) That JavaScript is incorrect though some browsers recover from it nonethless.
2) That will fail for the one in ten users that do not use JavaScript and for the numberless users that have pop-ups disabled.

Use instead:

<a href="http://www.w3.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false"><img alt="the W3C" src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_home"></a>

Or use the HTML 3.2 version that employs the 'target' attribute.
