Hi,
When you click on a thumbnail, is there any way to have the window open up to the size of the picture being opened, when the pics all vary in size?

You'll have use the window.open method in Javascript and then pass the actual image dimensions to it within your <a> tag similar to this:

//Javascript function...

function OpenIt(thePic,theW, theH) {
window.open(thePic,"NewWindow","width="+theW+",height="+theH)
}
//within your HTML document...

<a href="javascript:OpenIt('Image.jpg',100,100)"><img src="Image-thumb.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="Some Picure"></a>

You cannot dynamically grab the dimensions of the images to pass to Javascript using just HTML.

Thanks for the response!
Where is the best place to put the javascript code in this situation? And can you remind me of the opening/closing tags for js code? Thanks in advance!

You'd put it inside of your <head> tag like

<head>
<!--other head stuff up here...-->
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function OpenIt(thePic,theW, theH) {
window.open(thePic,"NewWindow","width="+theW+",height="+theH)
}
-->
</script>
</head>
