How do I get a new window to open to the size of the image

[martinr]

Currently I have my images opening on a new window but the size of the window is not opening large enough to see the complete picture. The viewer has to manually go and re-size the window.
Is there a way of setting the window so that it opens to the size of the image?

Thanks

You'll have to use some form of scripting. This link shows you how to do it with Javascript: http://www.fontstuff.com/frontpage/fptut17.htm

You could also do it with server side scripting like php. If you want to know how to do it that way post back here and I can show you. It'll take a bit more work than doing it with Javascript.

**Edit**
Sorry, that site just shows setting the window size for a known image size. Here is the one that shows you how to get the image's size. http://www.fontstuff.com/mailbag/qfrontpage01.htm

mwa103 -> Not at all!
All you have to do is a javascript function that opens the image...
Server-side scripting is server side, not browser side...

Anyway,
Try this:

Code: Select all

function openimg(url)
{
imgheight="YOUR IMAGE HEIGHT"
imgwidth="YOUR IMAGE WIDTH"
window.open(url,"img","height="+imgheight+", width="+imgwidth)
}


Replace your link by:

Code: Select all

javascript:openimg("URL OF YOUR PICTURE HERE")

sachav,
Not at all? Did you follow the links? I provided links to Javascript functions which will do what he wants (open window that's same size as image without inputting the image size). I only mentioned the php if, for some reason, he didn't want to use the Javascript. Yes I know that server side scripting is server side, hence the name. However, it is possible to do the same thing with php as well. I was just providing all the options.
