    Resolved [RESOLVED] Trying to get a larger image to show in new window?

    I'm building a simple image viewer web page. There is javascript code to load all the images. The html code below is styled to load the images into a div element on the page.

    This first code snippet is what I have now and it works fine
    Code:
    <div class='images'>
         <a href=''><img src='img1.jpg' width='450' height='auto'>
         <div class='caption'></div></a>
    </div>
    What I want to do is....when the thumbnail image is clicked on, I want the full-size image to appear on a new page.

    Can I do this below:
    Code:
    <div class='images'>
         <a href=''><img src='img1.jpg' width='450' height='auto' onclick="<img src='img1.jpg' target='_blank'>">
         <div class='caption'></div></a>
    </div>
    Is this possible? If not, what is the best way to perform this?

    Thanks,
    Blake

    Re: Trying to get a larger image to show in new window?

    You can use a div to make it look like a popup (or modal window) within your page.
    Here's the tutorial: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_modals.asp

    Otherwise you can simply use the window.open() method, passing the full url of the image so that it will be displayed in another tab/window.

    Hope it helps

    Hii blakemckenna,

    Try like this...

    JS

    Code:
    function swipe() {
       var largeImage = document.getElementById('largeImage');
       largeImage.style.display = 'block';
       largeImage.style.width=200+"px";
       largeImage.style.height=200+"px";
       var url=largeImage.getAttribute('src');
       window.open(url,'Image','width=largeImage.stylewidth,height=largeImage.style.height,resizable=1');
    }
    HTML

    Code:
    <img src="abc.jpg" onClick="swipe();"/>
    Hope it helps you!!
