Reading my own question, is there some way of doing a <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code:<HR><pre>&lt;a href="BOOMER_PICTURE_TEMPLATE.HTML/with_image=Dscf0179f.jpg"</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

sort of thing???

Nope, not in pure html.

Since I don't know what scripting languages you can use on that account, the quickest way I can think of is to make the href tag point to some javascript which will open the pic for you. You can do this in a separate window using document.writes.

Dont think that helps much with the counter though !

This is your link...
&lt;a href="javascript:Start('images/back2.jpg', 420, 300);"&gt;&lt;img src="images/thumb_back2.gif" width="75" height="40" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

stick this in the &lt;head&gt; section...
&lt;SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"&gt;
timeout =0; // Close window after __ number of seconds?
// 0 = do not close, anything else = number of seconds

function Start(URL, WIDTH, HEIGHT) {
windowprops = "left=50,top=50,width=" + (WIDTH+50) + ",height=" + (HEIGHT+50);

text = "&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;Preview& lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body bgcolor='white'";

if (timeout != 0) text +=" onLoad=\"setTimeout('window.close()', " + timeout*1000 + ");\"";

text += "&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src='" + URL + "'&gt;";

if (timeout != 0) text +="&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face='arial, helvetica' size='-1'&gt;Preview closes after " + timeout + " seconds.&lt;/font&gt;";

text += "&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;";

preview = window.open("", "preview", windowprops);
preview.document.open();
preview.document.write(text);
preview.document.close();
}
&lt;/script&gt;

Lee and Fosters,

thanks for the code and pointers - i'll have a play. I guess that this could get quite complex however - do i open a fresh window each time, or can i re-use a single one; how do i handle a right-click/openinanewwindow etc.

Cheers,

On my code, you will open the same window on clicking another thumb.
