Linking text to pic

[makingreatstuff]

Is there a way to link text to a pic that will make the pic open in a pop up window. I know about target to blank from the link hypertext button but I want the pic to open in a separate pop up box like pics in the gallery.......

thanks

Hi, change the link url in the code below to your pictures url & the 600’s to the size of your image. The 50 controls the space from the top of the page.
Highlight the text you want to link from, select hyperlink & paste this in the url field.
Remove any text from the url box before you paste this in. IE: http://

#" onClick="window.open('http://www.yourdomain.com', '','width=600,height=600,top=50'); return false;"

Good luck.

Ps. If you don’t want the links underlined. Paste this into the head of your page. But It will stop all underlining.

Re: Linking text to pic

Hi, my apologies! Its seems to work once & the make the text disappear!

This one works but using java.
Paste this 1st bit of code into "between head" on your page.
If you are not sure (Right click on empty part of your BV page & select page html) then select the Between head tag & paste it here)



<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,men ubar=0,resizable=1,width=800,height=600,left = 162,top = 84');");
}
// End -->
</script>




Paste this 2nd part of the code into an html box & replace the url with your own & change the pop 1 to the text you would like. If you want more pop ups on the same page! Just duplicate the 2nd part only.



<A HREF="javascript:popUp('http://www.collectors-info.com')">pop 1</A>



Onece again sorry about the 1st post (I should of tested more)

Good luck.
PS. tested at this link, bottom of page http://www.collectors-info.com/testi...genorator.html

Are those pop up able to be titled? or is that going to far?

Re: Linking text to pic

I think the only way round this is to put each picture on its own page & put some text under the image. At least you will be able to add a lot more info to each picture this way.
If you do it this way remember to place the image top left of page & don’t centre it.
Or maybe 20mm in from each edge to give a small boarder.

Re: Linking text to pic

That is what I did before. East link opened up a new page but I just don't like the look of it as well as the popup's neat little framed popup. Thanks Chris. I'm sure I will be writing again.
