Hi folks,

Can anybody help to solve this problem?
I have problems solving this code for a close window button to be shown instead of just ordinary text linked:

<!--
function showFullImage(sImageName)
{
winNew.document.write("<a href='#' onclick='window.close()'; >Close Window / Fenster Schliessen / Fermer fenêtre</a>");
}
// -->


I thought of something like this:
winNew.document.write("<a href='#' onclick='window.close()'; >'input type='button' value='close window' Close Window / Fenster Schliessen / Fermer fenêtre</a>");

p.s. The code above mustn't be amended much, because i have several photos needing this same function. Thats why i cant just do a simple code for each separate photo. The link works anyhow, but just without the button.

Hi there,

You can't use a button inside a <a> tag and expect the click of the <a> tag to fire.

Instead, write the click handler for the button directly, without an <a> tag (untested):

winNew.document.write("<input type='button' onclick='window.close()'; value='Close Window / Fenster Schliessen / Fermer fenêtre / Venster Sluiten'");


HtH,

Nope, didnt work.

I think the <a href='#' onclick='window.close()'; >
needs to be on to refer to this line below:

<a href="#" onclick="showFullImage('PHOTO.jpg');"><img border="0" src="PHOTO.gif" width="171" height="129">
</a>

(several photos amongst this, thats why variable at top to save lines)


I would appreciate another reply if possible..... thanks :)

Just missing the closing &gt; at the end of the string

Yep, thanks Joe. That was the problem. I guess that's what you get when you try to "program" from within a text area... ;)

I appreciate the team work folks, but still doesnt work :(

The image now pops up in full window without any close link.

Here I post the code again, for I think the HREF# has to be within the code:

function showFullImage(sImageName)
{
   var winNew = window.open("about:blank", "new", "fullscreen=yes", "scrollbars=yes");
   winNew.document.write("<img border='0' src='" + sImageName + "'><br><br>");
   winNew.document.write("<a href='#' onclick='window.close()'; >Close Window</a>");}
// -->

<a href="#" onclick="showFullImage('DIFFERENT PHOTOS.jpg');">
  <img border="0" src="DIFFERENT PHOTOS.gif" width="172" height="129"></a>

Cheers !

(p.s. If possible, can you please also include the variable for the X to appear on the window on top right corner to close window aswell ;))

What browser are you using? The code runs fine here.

I get the image in a new, full screen window, with a Close Window link beneath it. Is the image you're displaying too large, so it fills the entre screen hiding the Close link?

Hi again Imar,

Browser: IE6; no problems there....

I posted my link which actually does work.... all i would like is to have a button instead of a text-link (plise... :), as mentioned in my first post.

Thx for your time and effort....

My initial solution should work (provided you added the additional > to the code):

var winNew = window.open("about:blank", "new", "fullscreen=yes", "scrollbars=yes");
winNew.document.write("<img border='0' src='" + sImageName + "'><br><br>");
winNew.document.write("<input type='button' onclick='window.close()'; value='Close Window / Fenster Schliessen / Fermer fenêtre / Venster Sluiten'>");

This runs fine on my machine. When you look at the source of the new window, you'll see this:

<img border='0' src='YourImage.jpg'><br><br><input type='button' onclick='window.close()'; value='Close Window / Fenster Schliessen / Fermer fenêtre / Venster Sluiten'>

which looks fine to me.

Cheers,

Imar

are you saying this doesn't work for you?

function showFullImage(sImageName)
{
   var winNew = window.open("about:blank", "new", "fullscreen=yes", "scrollbars=yes");
   winNew.document.write("<img border='0' src='" + sImageName + "'><br><br>");
   winNew.document.write("<input type='button' onclick='window.close()' value='Close Window / Fenster Schliessen / Fermer fenêtre / Venster Sluiten'>");
}
