Pop-up and close

I want the pictures on a website (about 50 pics) to be opened in a bigger size and single page when you click on them. I know you can do this very easily with the “Link to image” action. But, they have to close when you click on them. Is there some sort of an action or handcoding way where you can specify the pop up dimensions and when you click on the pop up it closes? Something like “pic to new window” but with the javascript:window.close() ? I don’t want to make a seperate page for every picture on that website.

Thanks, wim

Try the Spawn New Window action. It supports all manner of sizing and window positioning for the windows it opens, and it includes a Close Button action. Simply apply that to the big picture, and a click will close the window and return to the gallery. This is one of my favorite design patterns for child windows.

Walter,

Thank you for your help. But, if I understand correctly, I have to create a page for every picture used in the website. Link to image is such an easy action, select the little pic, apply the action, search for the bigger size picture on your harddrive, and ready. I know, it links to a picture, and not to a html file.
Anyway, thanks for the help.

You could try the free Lightbox Action at:

(10th or 11th action down)

If basically does the same thing as Pic to New Window, but rather uses Js to display the image right in the html page. If not possible, than the standard fall-back of opening a window happens.
