window resize

Hello,

Is it possible to have a thumbnail in one cell of a table and the linked image
open in another cell of the same or another table on the same page? I'd like
to avoid frames where I can.

Thanks

Harvey:

I'm glad you finally found your way here.

Yes - this is possible!

There was a fair thread discussing the alternatives just the other day -

Harvey:

As described in the thread, you can make all images the same size by adding
padding to the image's canvas.

However, the very best solution is not to do it that way at all, since your
page weight will quickly become unmanageable (depending on what you mean
when you say "full size"). The best way is to have your thumbs open a
separate browser window containing the fullsized image. This has several
advantages - a) the new window can be sized to fit the image exactly so it
works well for images of varying dimensions, and b) the full weight of the
larger images is not added to the weight of the page with the thumbs.

You can do all of this using the JustSoPictureWindow extension from the MM
Exchange which works beautifully.

but what I'd really like is to know what the window
size is and serve the appropriate image, if there is an easy way to do
that

There is not.

Thanks Murray,

The solution in that htread requires the images be the same size and I
wanted
to have a thumbnail open a full size image. I can do it fine with frames
but as
I said, I'd like to avoid that. Unless most browsers are frames enabled
pretty
much of the time.

I really don't know what people have. For instance, I'd like people not
to
have to scroll to see an image. I can size the images for the least
common
denominator, say 800 x 600 but what I'd really like is to know what the
window
size is and serve the appropriate image, if there is an easy way to do
that.

Harvey
