popup images

hi all,

this is my first website, so you'll have to forgive me for the newbie question.

http://www.nickfordyound/doitwithxs

Under the "news and upcoming events" section, i have popup images (south west four, rockness etc) that come up in a new window. how do i make the new window the same size as the popup image and without an address bar etc?

thanks in advance

Re: popup images

Pop-up anythings are not a good idea. In fact they are frowned on from an accessibility view point.

Consider having your images appear in a div as part of the page, controlling the visibility with css.

Re: popup images

You contain each of the images you want to show inside a div element.

Each of these divs is initially hidden using css.

Then when the user selects whatever it is they select on your page, the relevent div is made visible at a location determined by you.

Have a read up on using divs as containers. The css position attributes and the css display attribute.

Formulate some ideas on how it will work and come back when you need to clarify an idea.

Re: popup images

There is one problem with this. That is if you include loads of these it will adversly affect loading times as your browser will load all of the images even if they are not visible.

Be aware of this and only include a small number on each page.
