Help With HTML SYNTAX please.

[Ice Rich]

Hi all,

At the moment i use this code which displays a pic in a html table:

<IMG height=600 alt="Picture Name" src="*where pic url goes" width=400>

What I would like todo is when the picture is clicked the full sized pic is displayed by redirecting the viewer to the page the pic is hosted (therefore full sized pic)

Hope you understand what im talking about - im very bad with HTML.

Any help appriciated

Thanks guys,

<a href="http://www.bigpicture.html" target="_blank"><img src="small picture" alt="picture name" width="400" height="600" border="0" /></a>

Thanks for reply, so do i just put that syntax after the main pic code?

 

[Ice Rich]

no you replace it with it

you need to wrap the <img src=.....> in an <a href=.....></a> tag

so you will end up with <a href="newpicture.jpg"><img src="url" height=600 width=400 alt="Picture Name"></a>

Thanks, think im getting it now. So it should look like this.

<a href="URL Of where full size pic is hosted"><img src="normal sized URL" height=600 width=400 alt="Picture Name - do i really need this?"></a>

If you're coding to XHTML standards (Which you should be), you need the 'alt' tag as it won't validate without it and it's only a few seconds extra work to put it in anyway Another way of doing this btw is with javascript and the

onClick=window.open

command which is better in some respects because you can customise the window size and remove the file bar etc which is sometimes useful

Thanks for replys,

But in order to use java do I and viewers of my site need a java script?
