    Image window

    I want to have a page that has a lot of thumb nails. I want to be able to
    click on a thumb nail and have it open in a window but I don't want a new
    window opening every time I click a thumb nail unless the first window
    closes it self. In other words I don't want a bunch of windows open.
    Is this possible?

      The simplest way is to use simple links, with no target attributes and
      with no JavaScript. Just <a href="...">...</a>. That way, the user can
      select, using his browser's normal functions, how to access the linked
      resource.

      But to achieve what you are looking for, which isn't that bad IMHO,
      just use (in the <a> tag) a target attribute with an alphanumeric value
      that does not begin with the underline character "_". When you use the
      same value in different links, then (on most browsers) a window with
      that name is created when the use first follows such a link, and later
      that window will be used. The name has no particular significance, but
      target="image" would sound reasonable.

          Some Javascript will do the job:

          <html>
          <head>
          <script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">
          function BringTop() {
          PicWin.focus();
          }
          var PicWin = window.open('n1 .gif','PicWindo w');
          </script>
          <title>pictures </title>
          </head>
          <body>
          <a href="n1.gif" target="PicWind ow" onMouseUp="Brin gTop();">Image 1</a>
          <br>
          <a href="n2.gif" target="PicWind ow" onClick="BringT op();">Image 2</a>
          </body>
          </html>
