Javascript question

chupacabra

Hello, I want to know how do I open a new window using java script from a linked image, I know how to do it from just normal text, here is my code window.open('http://www.blahblahwhatever.net', 'sty', 'location=yes,height=500,width=500', false); but how do I apply that to an image thanks.

P.S ive looked for tutorials around the internet but cant find any.

By linked image I assume you mean a hypelink image. Try this


<a href=javascript:void(0); onclick="window.open('http://www.blahblahwhatever.net', 'sty', 'height=500,width=500');"><img src="images/bla.jpg" height="20" name="image" border="0"></a>

Sorry, I'll just expand on this. Not everyone uses javascript, though it is possible to have a new window open for non-javascript users.
It's essentially the same code, with a little addition:

<a href="http://www.blahblahwhatever.net&quot; target="_blank" onclick="window.open('http://www.blahblahwhatever.net', 'sty', 'height=500,width=500');return false;"><img src="images/bla.jpg" height="20" name="image" border="0"></a>

What this basically does:
1. User clicks link
2. If they're using Javascript, it opens the window. As soon as the window opens, execution ceases, preventing the "a href" command from executing
3. If they're not using javascript, the page opens in a new window.

Why do you need th onlick at all? just make sure the target is blank

The onClick action creates a scripted window, sized to 500x500. The TARGET creates a standard window, with no control over size, position, chrome, etc. Seamus has explained the process in his post, you might want to read it again.
