HI, I'm completely new to web site design and dreamweaver. I'm designing a website using frames so that when you click on a button on a page, it changes the image content of the page (kind of like a slide show). Some of the images are especially large, so i'd like the option for the user to be able to view a larger version fo the image in a new browser window that's set to the exact dimensions as the actual image, and without the menu bars, tool bars, scroll, etc.

I have assigned a button the behavior 'open browser window' so that cliking this button opens the formatted window i desire with the enlarged image. the problem is that because the link or button is contained within a page that is composed of frames, i also have to assign a TARGET for the new window. Choosing _blank as the target results in 2 windows being opened - the formatted window created thru the 'new browser window' behavior, and a new '_blank' window, also containing the desired image, but in a window that's the same size as the original window containing the link (ie. with the wrong dimensions)

does anyone know how if i can somehow format the target '_blank' window, so that i might dispense with the 'new browser' behavior? or somehow get rid of the target attribute. i've tried going into code view and just deleting the 'target=_blank' section. but i guess there has to be a target default as 2 window still open.

Did you make sure there was a # in the URL field in the properties inspector for that link?

you can also highlight the _blank and hit delete but it shouldn't matter if there is a # in the URL field.
