I'm trying to link to a picture that is 420X541.When it opens in the new
window it is 302X389 and you have to move the cursor from off the
image to over the image and wait until the 4 arrow resize box appears
in the bottom right and click on that to see the picture at the 420X541 size.

Is there any way in HTML to have it open at the correct 420X541
even though it requires scrolling to see the whole picture?

You would have to use HTML. Right now you are pointing to a JPG it sounds like and letting the browser take over. You can use HTML but you need to create the HTML page and insert the image into that webpage

OK, here is an example with a 530X832 picture.
I want to know if there is a way in HTML to have it open to the 530X832 when clicked on rather than having to click the 'enlarge' arrow thingy...

Code: <P ALIGN="center">
<TABLE BORDER="1" CELLSPACING="10" CELLPADDING="10" BORDERCOLOR="black">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="100%">


<a href="http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/KeepingBusy/00000.jpg"><img src="http://thmb.inkfrog.com/thumbn/KeepingBusy/00000.jpg" width=50 hspace="4" vspace="4" border="0"></a>
<center>
<font face=Arial size=3>click</font>
</center>

</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</P>

Right now you are pointing to the path Code: http://thmb.inkfrog.com/thumbn/KeepingBusy/00000.jpg you would have to create an HTML page - point to the HTML page and size the image using HTML and that HTML would be something like Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 2</title>
</head>

<body>
<img src="http://thmb.inkfrog.com/thumbn/KeepingBusy/00000.jpg" width="530" height="834" alt="">
</body>

</html>

All that does is open the thumbnail at width="530" height="834". -very pixilated-

I'm trying to click on the thumbnail and have the img ( 00000.jpg ) open at its original size of 530 X 834 so someone doesn't have to click the enlarge thing to see it in the full size.

What size you do you it to open in? Used that widht and height in the HTML page.

8) Good Morning, Corey 8)

Corey:

===================================================

When I use

<a href="http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/KeepingBusy/00000.jpg" WIDTH="530" HEIGHT="832"><img src="http://thmb.inkfrog.com/thumbn/KeepingBusy/00000.jpg" width=50 hspace="4" vspace="4" border="0"></a>

It still opens at 248X389 and you have to 'enlarge'.

And when I try to validate, I get:
"The "WIDTH" and/or "HEIGHT" attribute is not valid for the "a" element.
Generated by CSE HTML Validator Lite v7.01 (http://www.htmlvalidator.com/)"

Maybe "IE" just won't allow it...

You have to point to an HTML page. You need to insert that image into that HTML page that you are pointing to. Right now - you are still pointing to the JPG.

The width and height are put into that HTML example I have you and and I actually used Code: width="530" height="834" but you said that it was distorted, but yet you also used Code: WIDTH="530" HEIGHT="832"> So if you tell me what width and height you want it to be - I will show you how to create an HTML with an image embedded into it and then you link to that HTML page, not the JPG. Linking to the JPG will just make the browser open the JPG.

Yes, I understand the pointing to an HTML page, but my thumbnail is on a site that is not mine so I can't point to a 'page'. Clicking on the thumbnail brings up the .jpg but reduced so it fits on IE. I was just hoping to find a point to .jpg that would not reduce it...

Thanks Corey,
I've learned a lot from this site.

No you would need to create an HTML page - hopefully they will allow you edit the page once you explain to them what is going on
