Yes you do! What if you don't want the second window to have scrollbars, buttons, etc. or the inverse. Javascript is a lot like VFP code and the code used to create the second window is pretty straight forward. First, each image's href is something like this: (replace imagex... with img.... below)

Where your [a href="javascript:doImage('GONZO.JPG')"] [image src="gonzo.gif"]

The function you call is something like this:
function doImage(src)
{
imgwin=window.open(src,"image","resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directory=no,autoscroll=yes");
}
I create this entire page using VFP code that requires two image files for each photo (one jpg and one gif.) This way you initially load a gif and when the click event fires, it passes the jpg to the doImage function. Pretty simple huh! There's a whole bunch of effects you can add that will fire on mouseover and such to boot. Better get some Javascript!
