Guys,

I need to combine a script like the following ;
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/thumbnail2.htm - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/thumbnail2.htm

with my ASP product listing code.. which looks like this:

If Trim("X"&rs("Thumbnail")) = "X" Then thmbnl = "" Else thmbnl = "<img src=""img/products/"&rs("Thumbnail")&""" vspace=2 hspace=2 align=left border=0 alt="&KeywordExcerpt(strContent, 75, 76)&">"
Response.Write"<tr"&bgColor&""&dynrow&"&g t;<td"&dyngo&" valign=""middle""><A HREF=""default.asp?pg=products&specific="&Encrypt(rs ("ITEMID"))&""">"&thmbnl&" Image Name: "&rs("ITEMNAME")&" Description: "&Excerpt(rs("DESCRIP"),200,170)&"</td& gt;</A>"&_

I would prefer to use DHTML to do a popup of the large product image (from the column "ImageFile" in the DB) as I have a feeling it might be less susceptible to pop-up blocking software than javascript. The end result should however be the same, I would just like the user to be able to rollover the product thumbnail that is displayed from the above code and have the IMG show up as a centered frameless window with no toolbars or such.

Additionally, it'd be great if the picture was scaled to a certain size automatically; the 'big' product pics are 720 pixels wide or high. Having these pictures scaled down to 300 pixels or so would be great for loading times..

Thanks!

pop-up blocking software stops automatic pop-ups that are created onLoad, not user initiated pop-ups.

Well that's great then half the battle is solved..

Now all I need is a mouseover on the product thumbnail to pop up the large version out of the DB.
