Image pop ups/help with code

RickTwotins · 09-27-2007, 01:26 PM

Hi folks, first post, hope you all well.

Could someone help, I'm giving myself a headache trying to work out what I'm doing wrong.

On this page of my sisters site here http://www.fionafairensemble.org.uk/gallery.htm when you click on the images all I want is for the popup to appear but I am also getting the page behind, if that makes any sense.

Clearly my code is rubbish!!

Help greatly appreciated!

It's because there is still a URL in the link. Example:

HTML Code:

<a href="gall3.htm" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('gall3.htm','','width=492,height=364')">

So the "href" tells it to go to gall3.htm and then "onClick" tells it to open a new window.

What you can do is leave the URL blank or make it "#" which will do nothing but reload the current page (which will be instant as it's already cached)

HTML Code:

<a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('gall3.htm','','width=492,height=364')">

Also, "onClick" also works within image tags, so you can get rid of the <a> tag altogether by doing that:

HTML Code:

<img src="test.jpg" width="85" height="50" alt="" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('iframe.htm','','width=492,height=364')" />

:)

No problem! I hope you stick around the forum for web design/programming and everything else this forum has to offer. There's lot's of great information here on many topics (as you can see) :)
