Hi,

Im currently doing a very tedious/time consuming process for an images section on a site.

All of the thumb nails of images, once clicked will load a larger version in a seperate browser window. The images are all different sizes and theres loads of them!!

Is there a way of telling the new window to stretch to fit the image automatically?

Ive seen sites that have even more images in a similar way and surely someone didnt hand code each one individually!!!

Please help!

Thanks,
Matt.

Well, it'd be nice to know what language you're working with. But if it's javascript/html, just have the window open to the size of the screen.

im working in DW MX 2004.

Simply using the basic behaviours to get where i am at the moment. Are there any PHP scripts that i could use? The site will be uploaded to a server that uses PHP.

Thanks,
Matt

Well, it doesn't matter what you're using to code it. Personally, i've never dealt with behaviours in the 8 months i've used DW.
If you know anything about html, make the link to open up your images this

<a href="javascript:window.open('URL', 'obj', 'width='+screen.width+',height='+screen.height);">IMAGE</a>

Where URL = the path to the image, and IMAGE = the thumbnail

You could also try using php's GD library functions. http://php.net/manua...etimagesize.php
Although, you'd have to modify the code above and take out "screen.width" and "screen.height" and replace them with the corresponding php variables.
