Generic Window Usage

Hi,

This is my first post so I apologise if im not sticking to any standard etc.

Im building a site to display pictures with text. Originally, I will show thumbnails, when clicked on, I currently use Javascript to blow up the picture to full screen size. Only problem I have here is that I cant show any text with it or description.

Im trying to use Getvar to read the URL. What I plan to do is link to a generic page that has an image on there. When I call this URL, I will place in the URL the image file (test.gif) which will then get loaded. Is this possible?

Also, I read that I can only have 4096bytes in the URL, so how could I show the descriptive text to go with the image?

What I dont want to do is create 50 more or less duplicate pages.

Thanks.

I have found this:

Code: Select all

 
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body onload=getVars()>
<p> 
  <script language="javascript">
function GetVars( def ) 
{
    this._def_ = def;
    var query, queries = top.location.search.substring(1).split( /\&/ );
    for ( var i=0; (query = queries[ i ]); i++ )
    {
        query = query.split( /\=/ );
        this[query[0]] = ( typeof query[1] == 'undefined' ) ? def : unescape(query[1]).replace( /\+/g, " " );
    }
}
GetVars.prototype.exists = function( key )
{
    return ( typeof this[key] != 'undefined' );
}
GetVars.prototype.assign = function( key )
{
    return ( this.exists( key ) ) ? this[key] : this._def_;
}
var _GET = new GetVars( '' );
var num1 = _GET.assign( 'n1' );
var num2 = _GET.assign( 'n2' );
var num3 = _GET.assign( 'n3' );
document.write(num1);
</script>
<p>&nbsp;
<p><img width="203" height="128" name="slide2" src="xleft.gif"> 
</body>
</html>

Which reads the addess variables, but can I load an image using a variabled?

Ie <IMG = num1> ???? Cant get this to work.
