FP 2002 How do you get a thumbnail...

Howdy All,

How do you get a thumbnail image to open in a separate window..NOT the default huge window with controls and all that white space...but a small "control-fee" window? Possibly with right click disabled? I've seen this done before but I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks!

You have to modify the thumbnail's hyperlink to call the
window.open method, as shown below.

<a href="javascript:window.open
('/images/mypicture.jpg',null,'height=200,width=400,status=
no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no');void(0);">

The height= and width= settings specify the *external*
size of the new window. Making the window just large
enough to show the whole picture is a problem, because you
can't know in advance how much space the window borders
consume. You'll probably have to make the window a little
over-sized, and hope for the best.

For more information about the window.open method, browse:

ethods/open_0.asp

Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 Inside Out comes with a
test page that displays the browser's current external and
internal window sizes. This may be helpful when estimating
the external window size needed to provide a given
internal space. You can preview this page at:

Ah! Thanks!

The sizing is not critical nor is the right click thing...but I always hated all that white real estate.

Thanks - both of youse.

Hey thanks again...that Jimco guy is alright ! Great stuff there, Spawn seems to fit the bill...but MORE important is the Selective Publish Add-In he has. That's exactly what I needed for a problem I'd have with a Unix server and files getting overwritten.

| You have to build a separate page for each image. Aslo look at Spawn:

| Don't disable right click. that has been discussed to death here... research
| earlier posts.

It's so easy to defeat the right-click thing that it's essentially
useless. For a further explanation, browse:
