Question about window.open() ....

[Woody]

I want to open a window containing a JPEG image, and I want
the window dimensions to match the image dimensions.

Therefore, the proper command syntax should be:

window.open ("mypic.jpg" , "", HEIGHT=256, WIDTH=256)

This command doesn't work on Internet Explorer!!!! Is there any way
that I can do this on IE???

Thanks!!

How about window.open('my pic.jpg', '', 'left=0,top=0,h eight=256,width =256')?

Yes.

Oh, you wanted to know how? You quote the attributes, with no spaces,
comma separated.

Ok. I tried the following command :

window.open("ba ck1.jpg", "", "HEIGHT=256 ", "WIDTH=256" )

This ALMOST worked!! Apparently, IE is reading and applying
the height parameter. My window is 256 pixels high. However, the
WIDTH did NOT get applied. IE seems to be ignoring the last parameter.

What the heck is going on??? How can I open a JPEG in a window
that is sized to the image dimensions??

I can't recommend guessing as a way to write working code ;-) Where is the
reference that suggests these parameters?

window.open("ba ck1.jpg","","he ight=256,width= 256")

Although you should be aware that 1) there are a number of other
parameters you can and probably should set, and 2) not all browsers are
going to open the viewable area of the child window to precisely what
you are specifying. Also bear in mind that those with javascript
disabled will not be able to open your popup to view the image.

you put ONE SET of quotes around ALL the attributes.

What's "going on" is that you didn't read the documentation:

<url: http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6408-...ow.htm#1202731 />
<url:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/open_0.asp

/>

I'll leave you with my favorite quote about programmers:

"When I read such posts, I immediately see the primary problem in better
than 90% of cases -- the poster doesn't realize the compiler won't
tolerate sloppy syntax. There is nothing in their background to prepare
them for an entity that, confronted with 10,000 lines of code, insists
on a comma instead of a semicolon in one of those lines, and refuses to
accept any of it as a result. This is an experience for which years of
television viewing, however intense and dedicated, is not the proper
training."
