Hi Thomas

Instead of using "Max" as the name for all of the popup windows, simply call
one size of window "Max1" and the other size "Max2", or something like that.
If you give the different sizes different names, then even if the user
leaves the popup window open, each image will load into a popup window of
the correct size.  Assuming you've just got two sizes of image, that only
results in a possible two popup windows in addition to the main window.  For
example:

<.td height="20" width="27%">
<.div align="center">
<.font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#666666" size="2">
<.a href= "ym_screenshots/firefighter3.jpg"
onClick="window.open('ym_screenshots/firefighter3.jpg','Max1',
'toolbar=no,width=273,height=420,left=200,top=200,
screenX=200,screenY=200,status=no,scrollbars=no,resize=no');return
false">Preview</a>
 - <.a href= "ym_screenshots/IM_firefighter3.jpg"
onClick="window.open('ym_screenshots/IM_firefighter3.jpg','Max2',
'toolbar=no,width=322,height=245,left=200,top=200,
screenX=200,screenY=200,status=no,scrollbars=no,resize=no');return false">IM
Preview</a></font> </div>
</td>

Of course, you then have the issue of the existing popup windows possibly
being behind the main window if the user has that maximised.

Also suggest you consider using "href='[image url]'" as part of the link
code (as shown in the example above), as that will ensure that those with
JavaScript switched off (or popups switched off) to view the images, albeit
in the main window rather than in a popup window.

HTH!

Donna
