ok how do i make a pop-up window like used on www.vicecity.com

so when you press the thumbnail it opens a window with the full picture inside but you control the size of the window that pop-up

and how do i make a hit counter that is just text, but displays the total page views and the days views

eg-------

total: 1093940
today: 10677

Here Dreamweaver has cool utility that does this automatically so here is the code you can plug it in where you need it......Change the dimensions in "onClick" of the href.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">


<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
</head>

<body>


<a href="#" onClick="GP_AdvOpenWindow('www.implod.com','newWindow','ful lscreen=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menuba r=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no',300,300,'center', 'ignoreLink','',0,'');return document.MM_returnValue">text</a>
</body>
</html>

"text" is where you would put your image for the link. If you put that whole thing in your editor and run it. I think you will know what I mean. here is a explanation.

<a href="#" onClick="GP_AdvOpenWindow('www.implod. com','newWindow','fullscreen=no,toolbar=no,locatio n=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable= no',300,300,'center','ignoreLink','',0,'');return document.MM_returnValue">text</a>

a href ="#" *thisis a html reference tag leave the # this tells the cpu it is a null link you will tell the browser what to open later.

onClick ="" *this is telling the browser do what ever is in the quotes

GP_AdvOpenWindow('your url', *dont worry about the function part, but where I have your url put the url of your photos

'fullscreen=no,toolbar=no,locatio n=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable= no' *these properties speak for them selves change them to yes if you want to use them***resizable=no'*** this is the one you had in mind leave this no and the user cannot resize.

300,300, This is the dimensions....change these to change the size of the window.

It is not really necessary but my name is nathan and my url is www.implod.com Props are always cool. Do you wanna use asp for your counter??

Here is one I got from somewhere I forgot where but you can use it
put it in your code library so you can use it again. Paste this above your everything on the page even the header

<%
' Declare our vaiables
Dim objFSO, objCountFile ' object vars for FSO and File
Dim strCountFileName ' filename of count text file
Dim iCount ' count variable
Dim bUseImages ' boolean whether or not to use images
Dim I ' standard looping var

' Determine whether we use images or plain text
' You could just set this to True or False instead
bUseImages = CBool(Request.QueryString("images"))

' Compute our count file's filename
' This is based on the file from which you call count.asp
' It basically takes that name and appends a .cnt so I don't
' accidently overwrite any files. If for some reason you have
' a file named script_name.asp.cnt then change this or watch out!
strCountFileName = Server.MapPath(Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") & ".cnt")

' Create FileSystemObject to deal with file access
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' Open the file as a text stream (1 = ForReading, True = Create)
Set objCountFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strCountFileName, 1, True)

' Read the current count from the file
If Not objCountFile.AtEndOfStream Then
' Set value to contents of the file
iCount = CLng(objCountFile.ReadAll)
Else
' If no file exists or it's empty start at 0
iCount = 0
End If

' Close the file and destroy the object
objCountFile.Close
Set objCountFile = Nothing

' Increment the count
iCount = iCount + 1

' Overwrite existing file and get a text stream to new one
Set objCountFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strCountFileName, True)

' Write updated count
objCountFile.Write iCount

' Close the file and destroy the object
objCountFile.Close
Set objCountFile = Nothing

' Destroy the FSO object
Set objFSO = Nothing

' We're all done with the hard part
' All that's left is to display the results
If bUseImages Then
' Loop through the count integer showing each digit
' You can grab the images one at a time or get the zip
' http://www.asp101.com/samples/download/counter_imgs.zip
For I = 1 to Len(iCount)
' Output the IMG tag using the right digit
Response.Write "<img src=""./images/digit_"
Response.Write Mid(iCount, I, 1)
Response.Write ".gif"" alt="""
Response.Write Mid(iCount, I, 1)
Response.Write """ width=""20"" height=""27"" />"
Next 'I
Else
' No image wanted just show the variable
Response.Write iCount
End If
