I am having trouble with pop-ups on my site. They were working once, but I changed them back to not pop up. Now I've changed my mind and can't get them to work. I have tried all permutations in the image properties (Pop-up full sized image and Open this link in a new Window) but no matter what I do, when I click on the image it opens the full-sized image in the same window (or new window if I have that checked).

The page I'm trying to get to work is http://home.fuse.net/mjsmith/astro/solarsystem.html , the image of Saturn.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Try removing spaces from your image file names -- they can cause problems and may be doing so here.

Also, I suggest don't use .bmp images on the web without special reason. Your "large" Saturn is 360K in file size. With .jpg you could reduce it to under 36K in file size, and still have it look just as good.

Thanks for the quick response. I tried removing the space from one of the picture filenames - the picture of the aurora. (Not Saturn - wanted to try this with an existing JPG.) That obviously lost the link. I deleted the object. I added the picture with the space removed, scaled it down, then enabled pop-up again. It still doesn't work - and the primary image (not the popup) is WAY different than it was before - shifted to the right and stretched horizontally. In SiteSpinner, that image is centered over the text just like the others. I have project options set at dynamic html.

I'm not sure what dynamic html would do to your project, but I'd leave that publish setting at the default of "Automatic".

Possibly you have relative positioning and /or sizing on for your new thumbnail -- that could cause the stretch and shift effect that you describe (buttons on the bottom toolbar).

If you still have problems, try your popup in a fresh test project -- there might be something in the present project that is interfering with it. But let's cross that bridge if we come to it Smile

Change your project options to HTML Auto. Anything else could introduce problems.

I have changed the options to HTML Auto. Now it appears that the pop-ups might be working all right. However, the photo in question (the aurora picture) will not appear correctly no matter what I do. Absolute addressing is on, maintain aspect ratio has no effect either way.

The entire site was working fine before...

I apologize. I didn't read your post closely enough. Indeed, relative sizing was enabled. I de-activated each and now it appears fine. I think that I'm good now. Thanks for the help. This level of support makes SiteSpinner EXTREMELY attractive. Thanks.
