> could i get a hand with opening a new page in a popup window...

check this article --

    Links & JavaScript Living Together in Harmony
    http://evolt.org/links_javascript

the piece of code you are looking for is

  <a
   href="somedoc.html"
   target="newWindow"
   onclick="window.open(this.href, this.target); return false"
  >click here</a>

except instead of "click here" you'd have <img src=... />

to size the window to fit your image, add a third parameter called
windowFeatures, defined in

Table 1.4 Optional features to specify for a new window
http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/reference/window.html#1202731

so each thumbnail link might say --

  <a
   href="template.html?img=..." ...

and the template page displays the image for the name passed in the url

> is this a reasonable way of opening a new image in a  window?

soiteny

assuming you link harmoniously
