[thelist] javascript/fer why?

[Josué Figueira Machado]

Try this:
(1) Put this in your script;

var newWindow = new Object();
newWindow = null;

function subWin(url,wdth,hght){
   var screenTop = (screen.height / 2) - (hght / 2);
   var screenLeft = (screen.width / 2) - (wdth / 2);
   if (newWindow && !newWindow.closed) {
        newWindow.close();
   }
   newWindow =
window.open(url,'newWin','width='+wdth+',height='+hght+',top='+screenTop+',left='+screenLeft+',screenY='+screenTop+',screenX='+screenLeft+',status=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no');

   if(!newWindow.opener) {
        newWindow.opener = self;
   }
   newWindow.focus();
}

(2) Then call it;

<a href="javascript:subWin('digitalio/digitalio1.htm',500,375);">your image</a>

I changed the way you position the new window in the page, but let me know
if you wish to pass those values as well. Watch for the line wrapping and
let me know if it doesn't work. Good luck,

Josué
