Passing field name from Mysql DB to new page

[sbbrown]

I have a repeating region on a page listing, describing and displaying a table of documents. A thumbnail image of the document is displayed in the first column. The field name is doc_img_id.

I would like for the user to be able to click on the image and have a separate window popup with a full-size image of the document.

I've set up a Javascript to open a new window but I am clueless on how to pass the field name to the next page so that the correct image can be displayed. I know this is pretty basic but I am new to this. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure how java opens the window but assuming you use a php to load the pic you could use the following:

Make the java code open you page as below.

http://www.mysite.com/image.php?image=text.gif

You image.php

<?
echo "<IMG SRC='".$image."'>
?>

Hope this helps (if not post your current code).

Since you are using javascript to open a new page, you can also use javascript to change the source of that window. Make the source a php page that will expect a picturename being passed(on the url) to be shown.

I changed out the javascript and used this:

<a href="image.php?doc_img_id=<?php echo $row_docs['doc_img_id']; ?>"><img src="docs/thumbnails/_TN<?php echo $row_docs['doc_img_id']; ?>" ></a>

I can see the image name is correct in the status bar when I pass the cursor over it.

I tried your suggestion but that didn't work.

I also created a recordset in DMX and inserted the field doc_img_id into the IMG SRC and it displays, but it displays the image from the first record only. Any suggestions?

Thanks - Got it to work. Created a recordset for the table docs in DMX where doc_img_id = $doc_img_id.
