Opening images in borderless windows?

Does anyone know how to have an image open in a new browser window, that is sized to the dimensions of the image. After doing some research, I know it can be done with Java, but Im not to sure how to do it.

Ive seen it done from iWeb, but on photo template pages, Im not using the templates, but want the same effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could just "Link to File" - create a hyperlink out of a thumbnail that links to the full size image

All of the images are "linked to file", but open in a new browser window, in the upperleft corner with white space all around. Im trying to get the browser window to fit to the size of the image, So it looks like a pop up. Does that make sense? Thanks for your response.

OK, so after you "Link to File" and publish, open the html files and find

href="pagename_files/nameofimagefile.jpg"

change to

href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('pagename files/nameofimagefile.jpg','blank','width=x,height=y,toolbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,location=0,status=0,scr ollbars=0,directories=0'); return false;"

x and y are the photo dimensions

Works great. Thanks very much. The only problem is that when the photo opens in the custom window, the windows title is the path name. Is there a way to change that to something else?

Add titlebar=0

NB: not all browsers support all window features, ie it may not work!

A workaround would be to make a single html page with the image on it, title this page appropriately (alter the text between <title> and </title> in the code) and have that as your target. That way, when the new window opens, it will have the title that you want, instead of the path.
