html code help needed

Mizu_Ger

I have a Picasa slideshow that I want to add to website so that when a thumbnail on the website is clicked the slideshow will open in a new window (of a specific size, with no scroll bars or navigation bars etc). Does anyone know how to do this? Also, is it possible to make the window close automatically once the slideshow has finished?

Any help appreciated.

Here's an example of the embedded code Picasa gives for a slideshow:

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf&quot; width="800" height="533" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fgerard.m.crowley%2Falbumid%2F5221111307605954465%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed&gt;

You could try opening the page as a popup. It would be smaller than a normal page but have no scroll bars or status bar

Thanks. I found the following through Google:

<a href="#" onClick="chw=window.open('index.html','NewWindow','resizable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,width=610,height=500'); if (chw != null) chw.focus(); return false"> - Launch -</a>

This almost does what I want. Is there a way to make the window that opens contain just the slideshow, rather than have to open a page called "index.hmtl"?

I figured it out. Just go the direct link to the picasa slideshow and threw that into the "open new window" code above.
