How can I send the name of the src file to a new window that I am opening up....I want to show an enlarged view of an image when clicked - so I just want to send the name of the image file to the new page I am opening up in a new window....any ideas...

You could have an onclick in the image, onclick="showFullImage(this)" for example. The showFullImage function is like:

Code:

function showFullImage(Image)
{
  var sUrl = "<your url goes here";
  sUrl += "?image=" + encodeURIComponent(Image.src);
var oNewWindow = window.open(sUrl, "NewWin", "<feature list here>");
}

If you think ythe browser won't support encodeURIComponent then use the older escape function instead, or try both:

Code:

function encodePath(Data)
{
  if (window.encodeURIComponent)
  {
    return encodeURIComponent(Data);

  }
  return escape(Data);
}
