that's better, but still not quite there.  the only thing you're missing is
that you don't have to hardcode the link to the document in the function
call.  you can simply reference it with the "this" keyword and its "href"
property:

<a href="digitalio1.htm"
 onclick="subWin(this.href, 500, 375);
          return false;"
>your image and don't forget the alt text</a>

now your maintenance is absolute minimum.

of course.  there's more you might learn from it.

run along,
