JS open window help
hello-
i have a page of thumbnails that when clicked i would like to open up in a new window w/ specific size and attributes.
i know how to have each tumbnail open it's own html page w/ specific attributes, but...
is there a way to have each thumbnail open the same html page, but with the appropriate image?
am i making sense?

Hi getyourbiglobst,
This is one alternative:
in the main page: create a global var called imgSrc and fill it with the image's onClick event handler (I'm just hardwiring it; you don't)
<script>
imgSrc = "http://members.aol.com/grassblad/images/grassblade.gif"
window.open("thumb.htm" + whatever attributes)
</script>
in the 'thumb' page, you fill a var called imgSrc with the value in the original window (opener). then you use a document.write to write out the image
<script>
imgSrc = opener.imgSrc
document.write("
")
</script>
