Hi all,



Laphan here again requiring your expert assistance!!!!



I am creating a web site whereby the user clicks a product's button to

display a new smaller window with a pic and some text in it.



It's done through a combo of ASP for server-side and Javascript for

client-side, but I'm struggling with the concept of making the new window

proportional with the picture and text it displays.



My button is setup as follows:



<a href='#'

onClick="ShowProd('showinfo.asp?url=transformers&code=meter','1','','390','3

90','true')">



The 'url' is the URL of the ASP page that displays the text and pic, eg

transformers.asp, and the 'code' is the code of the product, eg meter.  I am

currently sending the height and width of the new window as a fixed size of

390 x 390 pixels and sending the whole above data to the below Javascript:



function ShowProd(theURL,winName,features, myWidth, myHeight, isCenter) {

  if(window.screen)if(isCenter)if(isCenter=="true"){

    var myLeft = (screen.width-myWidth)/2;

    var myTop = (screen.height-myHeight)/2;

    features+=(features!='')?',':'';

    features+=',left='+myLeft+',top='+myTop;

  }



window.open(theURL,winName,features+((features!='')?',':'')+'width='+myWidth

+',height='+myHeight);

}



The 'Transformers.asp' page then displays a 200 x 150 picture and text in

this window.



What I would like to do is find the size of pic and text (all in 1 table)

and make the window in proportion to this data.  Can anybody give me any

pointers on this?



Many thanks.



Regards



Laphan

And what does this have to do with ASP or with Databases...? Instead of

asking us to "please take a minute to look at your problem" - why don't you

take a minute to find an appropriate list to post this question?



Cheers

Ken
