In his original post, he stated this was for something of his
on eb@y, so SE's are irrelevant.  Also the code I sent him,
(told him to look at) was JavaScript.

(Matt, it's a good idea not to start a *new* email for a
reply to an ongoing thread :)  On my end, you have JScript
errors on that page, so you must not have simply copied and
pasted it, then just changed the dimensional parameters.
Yes, you cannot have half pixel sizes, and you added spaces
where there should be none, and added things that should not
be there.  Try it again, this time be sure not to change
anything at all except the window sizes and your file
locations (and of course be careful when you remove the
clickable text, however you should leave it there and just
change it to 'click thumbnails to enlarge).  The images are
not clickable for me, evidently due to the errors, but yes, I
recognize that 2nd one ;-)

Howdy...

Here are some points I think that are not so obvious to you,
or most people,
but it is better to hit them early on, rather than later,
when you are
clueless of where to start.

In the code, you have a left, and top, whereby you use a
half-unit
measurement, i.e. .5, within each.  Whether the browser is
using pixels, or
twips (for the record, a twip is a unit of screen measurement
equal to 1/20
of a printer's point), in both cases the .5 is ignored, AND
could cause
problems.  Now you can either round down, or round up, but
use a whole
number, not a floating-point number.

In regards to making it something that is always on top, this
is not
possible from my understanding of HTML.  It is a language
implementation,
and I know of no such functionality in HTML, though
JavaScript may help in
this department.

I would like to comment on this desire to have the image
always stay on top,
it is a BAD idea, and can lead to search engine spider
problems,
non-returning visitors, and additional negative effects that
impact your
site popularity.  Consider BOTH sides of the equation WITHOUT
bias, and you
will understand.

Clint,

I went to your website, and the "custom pc" was pretty much
what I
wanted. I managed to get pretty close. Perhaps you would help
in some
fine tuning. Below is the code I am using. You see that now I
have TWO
thumnails. (one of which you might get a kick out of!)

The goals would be:

1) Keep the full sized image (pop up window) ON TOP untill
closed.

2) Prevent the second full sized image from "taking over" the
window
generated by the first full sized image. That is to say, have
the second
full sized image pop up *in its own* window.

In other words, I want a page with multiple thumbnails that
generate
multiple Pop Up Windows for thier respective full sized
images.

Keep in mind that I am a novice. The most usable type of
response would
be "Matt, insert my phrase XXX at a location between the
words YYY and
ZZZ in your code."

Thank about a bazillion times,

Matt
