Open image in new window

[DerekGardiner]

re my earlier message

I am trying to get small images to open a new window with a larger version.

using the URL http://www.derekgardiner.co.uk/ESW/images/filename.jpg    works for some images but not for others - can anyone shed some light on this please ?

Hi anyone,

I am still having trouble with this.  I upload the large image into the library. Supply the correct url (it works with some of the images) but when I click on the webpage image I get file not found on the server.  Yet for other images this approach works fine.  Anyone know what is going on?

Hi Derek, can you give us links for both a working and non working example and I'll take a look at the code.

It's likely to be either a relative path error or a typo.

Typo's are the most likely problem, URL's are CaSe senSitive...
so:

http://www.derekgardiner.co.uk/ESW/Images/P1010980.jpg will throw a 404 file not found

http://www.derekgardiner.co.uk/ESW/Images/P1010980.JPG will work as expected

Path Errors: there are two ways of describing where a file resides on a server, Absolute & Relative.

Absolute is the full Internet address eg: http://www.derekgardiner.co.uk/ESW/Images/P1010980.JPG

Relative, is like saying 2nd star to the right and carry on till morning. Where you end up depends on where you start.

Hi,

Thanks for that it was a case sensitive issue.  For some reason the library had stored the image as xxxx.JPG and not xxxx.jpg

Give us a shout anytime, the learning curve is steep and we all needed some help when starting out.

PS:

My wife has your site bookmarked with great interest  she's been re-discovering her lost childhood passion for stargazing since I bought her a smallish telescope for her birthday last year  and loves the DIY observatory you built.
