That's a cool trick, Brina! I used to play with javascript pop-ups like that on my photos pages too, but of course I didn't have probs with the pop up ads. Not.. what I had problems with was browser compatiblities. Apparently, I came up with a script that didn't work in the really old browsers, or the really new ones. Then the picture only came up on the first image that was clicked, and not for the other images. (I think I drove Leo nutty with this on her PC once)
So I had to take all those javascript tags down 9not a fun task, I must add) so people could still think of the pics until I got motivated enough to find a better way. Nyarly Browsers... why to they have to be sooo fussy! >< But yeah, I can get your first Shadow/Don pic to come up in a smaller window without a pop-up. Very cool! Though, I wonder if you can trigger it to appear ontop of the parent window (just cause my Win XP has a way of grouping all my open webpages into one window button, and then I have to hunt it out from there). ;D ~HT --- Brinatello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey, everyone, > I've been doing some HTML experiments at my TMNT Fan Art Page to make > your viewing a lot more easier, and let me tell you, it's been a real > pain in the arse!
