Need a bit of HTML help

[wizardsandwars]

I understand that using a target in an <a> will open whatever you are linking to in a new window, but how do I size that window to the picture of the image?

 

For Example:

 

<a target="new_window" href="www.wizardsandwars.com/image">

The only way I know to make the window open to a certain size is with Java script ? maybe some one else knows a different way.

 

In the meantime, you can look here to see if there is anything that fits to your needs ? http://www.javafile.com/popupwin.php?cat=Popup+Windows

<?php echo '<a href="" onClick="' . "window.open('http://www.thewebmakerscorner.com/snapmods_new/test.html','newWin','titlebar=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=650,height=500'" . ');return false;">' . 'Click here'. '</a><br>'; ?>

Linda,

 

Thanks for the code. Unfortunatly, I can't put it into the 'description' field of the product.

 

I'm not sure, but it doesn't look like it recognizes the '<? php' tag.

 

Is it possible to do this with just html?

Cheating and looking at source code helps:

 

<a href="" onClick="window.open('http://www.thewebmakerscorner.com/snapmods_new/test.html','newWin','titlebar=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=650,height=500');return false;">Click here too</a>

Fantastic,

 

Thanks, Linda.

Sure thing ... I always wanted to be able to do it either way too ... so it was a fun 5 minute lesson for me too :roll:

Yeah, I've got to eventually learn all of my tag flags.

 

Hard to believe I'm a level III Database programmer that doesn't know HTML.

 

:lol:

 

Thanks again.

I code like a wiz offline and still trip over a lot of stuff I know I should know better.

 

One moment of brillance than dashed to all heck by shear stupidity ... but then that is the nature of the beast.

 

Ain't coding a blast? 8)

I'm actually pretty good with perl and other shell scripting languages, as well as with SQL. I even teach some SQL optimization classes. Web stuff is pretty new to me though. I learned some cgi lat year, and this year I've been working on learning php.

 

I love programming. I spend about 12 hours a day hacking away.
