"Silly Scripts"

Never seem to do what I want them to! I stole this nice little script earlier today, it's a pop-up window:



The rest of the script info os on the link:

My problem is, the stupid auto borders which are made when a new window's created/opened...
The windows for my images are made to be the same size as the windows, pretty sure thats not a good idea as you have to allow for the window border..etc but i've got that one sorted...
My problem is getting the image to include into a page and this page will have so the image grabs onto all 4 corners of the window and shows it's delights to all the world.

Can someone help me? I have seen scripts like this, i've been messing around with a few today but since I know as much about Javascripts as i do about the meaning of life, i'm a bit stook.

pretty please with a cherry on top, give me some help.
..doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

no, I couldn't make my brain understand why " + file + " included the file :)
I finally have time to try the script out, be back soon :)

To call it, you should use:

Image 1

or

Image 1

Is this what you were refering to when you said you didn't know how to include the image?

Ah, I did that but I guess my brain was tired as i couldn't figure out how the image included into the script :$

I'm going to try it now, just got back from work...well, an hour ago :D
Cheers for your help on this cjh ;) much appreicated.

So, did you get it working to your requirements or anything like that?

I think I see why it doesn't work. See if you can find the bit that writes the image to the HTML, and replace it with this:

Content += " " + file + " WIDTH=" + Width + " HEIGHT=" + Height+ ">
\n"

It looks similar, I just removed the ".jpg" bit as it may not be relevent to you.

eek, I couldn't edit that script to do what I wanted...
Don't understand JS as much as i'd like..

looks perfect until it gets to writing the image into the page (main script which goes into head tag)

thanks though, it's exacitally what I need until...the part i don't understand :)

cheers though and sorry for the wait ;)

Ok, I'll stick around, but don't take to long :o)

Yes, that is what I need....i'll need to try it out though :D

thanks very much for the help ;) don't go away though! i'll be back.

ggggrrrr, ok. First, did what I just post work out? or even look remotly correct?

Hey, cool site :o) Like the look a lot.

If I remember correctly, when I wanted to display an Image in its own Window, I'd do it a little different to what you've done.

Rather than just opeing the Image on its own, I used a template HTML page, and passed the Image properties to it, so it would display in the whole window, with no scrollbars or whitespace.

So it would work something like this (If I remember correctly, that is):

Show picture



Try cleaning it up first before working out what it does, lol. Its harder to post code in its original form on these Forums.

Again, this was if I remember correctly, so if it doesn't work, don't be to suprised :oP.
