I see beautiful pop menus in http://lucent.com nice layout, easy navigating. In the source I don't understand the point, where popup (1) , popup (3) and popup (4) stand for. Can you help me? My sites: http://siopel.org http://artsenverbond.nl Thenk you / CR Staalman

I was looking at this code Amy, as I put something similar together for my photo page and wanted to see how you do it. It seems a bit too javascript-centric to me, no? I think it all depends on how much info you want to transfer in the URL, but this way the window won't popup tiny and then resize itself. You could setup something like this, (I'm sure it can be customized to make it much more user friendly) defining a new function: Line breaks on the 'print' line are mine. Take them back out. This is just for display purposes. <? function popup($file, $title) ( $path = "http://www.yoursite.com"; $size = getimagesize("$path$file"); $width = $size[0]; $height = $size[1]; print "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"window.open ('http://www.yoursite.com/pathto/popup.php?z= $path$file&width=$width&height=$height& title=$title','photopopup','width=$width,height=$height,directories=no, location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no, screenx=50,screeny=50');return false\">$title</a>"; ) ?> And then it can be called like this: <? popup("/path/to/file.jpg","Description of Picture"); ?> The popup.php doesn't need to be anything more than a normal HTML page, with all the margins set to 0 and an echo line something like this: <? echo "<img src=\"$z\" width=\"$width\" height=\"$height\" border=\"0\" alt=\"$title\" />"; ?> Sorry if I'm stepping on toes here. I always like going with PHP in favor of javascript because javascript is so client-side and here the only javascript used is the normal window.open, which most browsers can handle without a problem. --- By the way - THANK YOU Amy. You got me started with PHP way back with the skinning and I've done nothing but learn since. It's too cool not to learn. ;) Have a great day.
