Hello.

I am in the process of building a modest site using Dreamweaver MX and am looking for the answer to a problem I have.

I have some thumbnails images that are set up as links to larger, higher res versions of said images. What I need to know is how can the window that opens with the larger image be set so that it's dimensions can't be changed e.g. I don't want people to be able to click on the bottom right of the window and drag it to make it bigger/smaller??

I'm a relative novice at web-building so any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance

If i understood you good, you want to open a pop-up window.
you can make it via javascript.

add this code to some .js file (ex. js.js):

function PopUp(file, width, height) {
PopUpWindow = open(file, "PopUpWindow", "top="+(screen.availWidth-width)/2+",left="+(screen.availHeight-height)/2+",width="+width+",height="+height+",resizible=no ,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes");
PopUpWindow.focus( )
}

and add this to the head section of your html file:

<script src="/js.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

with this, you will include the javascript file to the html file.

now,
when u will add links, the links will look like this:

<a href="PopUp(file, width, height)">

where file is the html file with big picture (u need to make different files for all pictures),
width & height are the width and the heigh of the pop-up window

There's an easier solution - use something like Lightbox - the window that opens can NOT be tampered with because it's an overlay. You also don't have to mess with all that scripting, it's easy to implement.

yeah, lightbox is a good solution

OK, what is Lightbox?

Thanks for the replies by the way!!

lightbox is a js script.
