Resize the window the image appears in when using Photo Gallery.

[Chas]

Hi,

When I right click an image then click Hperlink Properties, then in Edit
Hyperlink click Target Frame and then in Target Frame click New Window and
accept the default "_blank" and click ok, Front page sets up the Photo
Gallery images to open in a new window just fine when the image is clicked.
However, the image is opened up in a huge window much bigger than the image.
I would like the window to neatly frame the image. Can this be done in
Frontpage with a few simple clicks or do I have to edit the code longhand.
Before I got Frontpage I did it "manually" using this sample code for each
image: <td width="135" height="105" align="center" valign="middle"><a
href="#" onClick="window.open ('PopupImage01.html','pics',
config='width=574,height=364');"><img src="Image01.jpg" border="1"
width="100" height="63"></a></td>.

I thank you.

Regards, Chas

You can do this with the free Spawn add in.

Steve,

I thank you, it works. Now I have a question on Spawn. The code I included
in my question makes a window that is tight against all four borders of the
image. Can this be accomplished with Spawn? I've tried with no success. If
I make the window size a little larger than the image, the image ends up
nicely positioned in the window with a white border around it. This looks
well and is a good alternative, but if the "tight" frame can be accomplished,
I would prefer it.

I thank you again.

Regards,

Chas

Is there an option in Spawn to set the margins at zero??

No, not that I can find. However, there is a bock labeled "CSS Class:". I
am using a .css file, but I do not know enough about CSS to know if it could
be used to accomplish this, or how. What do you think?

The CSS class is what is applied to your hyperlink
Whatever your popup file name is (say PopupImage01.html) set the page margins to 0

Hi,

You got me thinking, which got me going in the right direction and I ended
up finding a Javascript function that does the trick. It is located at the
following link:
http://www.codelifter.com/main/javascript/autosizeimagepopup.html. I like it
because there is a lot less coding and fewer html files than using 'onClick'.
I found out that that the '_blank' window cannot be resized so 'target=' was
out of the running as well as CSS. At any rate, I have a good solution and I
thank you Stefan and Steve for your input.

Regards,

Chas
