How do I make a quick preview window? More Questions Like This

If you want your visitors to click on a thumbnail image and then the full picture loads in a new window, insert the following code into your HTML:

(You must change everything in Red, everything in Orange is optional)

  1. Put this in the HEAD tag of your HTML document:

    <HEAD>

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- Begin
    timeout =0;
    function Start(URL, WIDTH, HEIGHT) {
    windowprops = "left=50,top=50,width=" + (WIDTH+50) + ",height=" + (HEIGHT+50);


    text = "<html> <head> <title>Image Preview </title> </head> <body bgcolor='white'";
    if (timeout != 0) text +=" onLoad=\"setTimeout('window.close()', " + timeout*1000 + ");\"";
    text += "> <center> <img src='" + URL + "'>";
    if (timeout != 0) text +="<br><font face='arial, helvetica' size='-1'>Preview closes after " + timeout + " seconds.</font>";
    text += "</center></body></html>";
    preview = window.open("", "preview", windowprops);
    preview.document.open();
    preview.document.write(text);
    preview.document.close();
    }
    // End -->
    </script>

    </HEAD>


  2. Then put this after the BODY tag when you would like the the preview image to appear: <BODY>

    <a href="javascript:Start('http://image source', 267, 103)";> <img src="http://same image source" width=86 height=51> </a>
It will appear like this in your page:



Notes:
  • timeout =0 can be changed to have the window close, replace 0 with the number of seconds you would like the window to remain open.
