Default Open in SIZED new window - 06-19-2008 , 03:45 PM






I have just switched from GoLive. My DW problem is opening a new window, the
size of an individual jpeg, when I click on a thumbnail. Using "blank" from the
properties window the the thumbnail opens a full-sized window, with all the
extra, ugly (in this instance) white space.
Since I'm a wimpy-poor coder, can I do what I want from the design window?

you would want to use the "open browser window" behavior. so, select the
thumbnail, then open the Tag Inspector (it's above the Files panel),
click the plus sign, and choose "open browser window."

If you have many images to open, it can get a bit tedious using the
built-in Open Browser Behavior and then fixing each function call's
flaws (i.e. the images are not accessible for those with javascript
turned off, which includes Search Engines).

You might want to take a look at my divaPOPgold DW Extension. It will
open any number of fullsize images for you by adding it only once to
your page.

If you decide to stick with the DW Open Browser Window Behavior (it is,
after all, free), then you might also w3ant to run my free divaFreeTools
Extension to automatically fix the aforementioned flaws in the DW behavior.

I appreciate your answer, especially when it opened up a window somewhat like
GoLive's, only better. However, it didn't work, although I checked the that
code was entered (see below). In reading through the post after yours (E.
Michael Brandt's), and info about his suggested extension, I think there may be
a flaw in DW's open browser window routine. Anyhow, being shy about tinkering
with add-ons like Brandt's, I guess I'll keep looking for info about flaws in
the open browser window. The page I'm working on is
http://robertstanleyart.com/Studio%2...nings%209.html

<img src="images/Coursings_sm.jpg" alt="Coursings" width="112" height="150"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('images/Coursings_web.jpg','Coursings','resizable=yes,w
idth=450,height=600')">

Your page throws a javascript error:

unterminated regular expression literal: line 83
/\n

which seems unrelated to the open browser window function.

btw, with divaPOPgold, there is no "tinkering" needed! That's the nice
thing about Extensions, they do the work for you!

E. Michael Brandt also saved my bacon. Although "courtney (n h c)" had the
right answer, it didn't work until he found a javascript error (msg 06/20/2008
12:50:29 AM) in the code for my page.

Thank you both!
