Linking thumbnails to big images with HTML
I worked out how to link a thumbnail to a big image.
How do I put a "close window" etc on the big image?
I have a sample page online
http://www.furniture.ausmade.com.au/index2.html
only the first thumbnail is linked so far.
Hope an IT guru can assist.

Not a guru but the problem is simpler than that. Your link to the larger image causes it to load up in the same window that was displaying your web page. So when the image window is closed, it closes your whole site.
You just need to include a frame target within the link, as follows:Code:target="_blank"
This will cause the image to open in a new blank window. When that is closed, the viewer will be back at your main web page.
Talk about guru, I can't even figure out how to show the code for your link here without it being acted on as code. Anyway you just need to have the target parameter somewhere between the "a href=" and the "/a".

Arachnophilia Al.
Its free but its really a html editor and not a web page designer.
trouble is I don't work on webpages enough so I just keep forgetting the simple things.

There's an excellent html reference here:
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/index.html
It can also be downloaded so that you can refer to it when offline. Arachnophilia is quite good but there's no substitute for windows notepad when you need to get down and dirty.

Tnanks all for the help, most appreciated.
Coz I don't do enough webpage work notepad's a bit difficult that's why I use Arach a lot of the basic code is on toolbars or menus.
If I worked as a webpage developer I'd probably end up using notebook a lot.
(did think about it at one time - but going to an office and wearing neat clothes --- yuk)
I've got a coupla html reference files somewhere on the pc.
Trouble is theres so much stuff on my pc that it can be hard to find anything I don't use regularly.
The target_blank seems the way to go.
Again, thanks all.
