Hey Lissa forums, first time poster etc etc

I'm at a loss, currently im working on a portfolio website for my current work. I can use html/iframes etc but im now at a loss with how to do this next feature.

I have a table of 50x50 thumbnail sections of images within an iframe. What i want is so that when you click on the thumbnail picture the fullsized version wuold be opened in a new window without any toolbars/scrollbars. These images vary in dimensions i dont know if that would shed some light on what i want.

An example of what i would like is what Paul Davis has going on with his site:
http://www.copyrightdavis.com/index_2.html

Im new to javascript so i have no idea where to start, anyone give me a headsup?

cheers for any kind of starting point, also sorry if this has been mentioned before.

Hi AB2,
The site;

http://www.copyrightdavis.com/index_2.html


causes HUGE amounts of windows to pop-up with advertising. Is this intentional as I was forced to kill off the IE Windows process?
However, having said that I got some idea of what you are tryng to achieve and that is quite easily accomplished. If you search the forum for;

pop ups

you will find many examples.

But could you please post your existing code so we have something more tangible to work with and then I'm sure we can help.

Thanks,
Regards,
Ges.

While it doesn't employ new windows, Lightbox JS (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/) is a pretty slick, flexible, and easy-to-implement solution for what you seem to be trying to accomplish.
