I have a page with a lot of text. On that page I want to insert a small picture (thumbnail). When the user clicks that image, I want to show a page with a larger picture of that thumbnail. So far so good.<br />
<br />
But I want to use the same page to display all of the big images. So when I click on "thumb1" on "Page1", I want to show "BigPage" with "BigPicture1"; when I click on "thumb2" on "Page1", I want to show "BigPage" with "BigPicture2"; when I click on "thumb3" on "Page2", I want to show "BigPage" with "BigPicture3"; and so on...<br />
<br />
How do I use the same page with a different image, depending on where I started from?<br />
<br />

Code:
<br />
<script type='text/javascript'><br />
<!--<br />
<br />
var ArgIdx = location.indexOf("="); // find start of first arg<br />
<br />
var Pic = location.substring(ArgIdx + 1, location.length);<br />
<br />
<br />
function include_picture()<br />
{<br />
document.write("<img src='http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/images/" + Pic + ".jpg'" alt='" + Pic + "'>");<br />
}<br />
<br />

</script><!--content-->I tried the code, but there is something wrong. I get the error message "Error: ')' expected". This is the code I used. What am I doing wrong?<br />

<br />
ahh - I see the problem:<br />
<br />
<br />
This is wrong:<br />
<br />
document.write("<img src='http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/images/" + Pic + ".jpg'" alt='" + Pic + "'>");<br />
<br />
<br />
It should be:<br />
<br />
document.write("<img src='http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/images/" + Pic + ".jpg' alt='" + Pic + "'>");<br />
<br />
<br />
Spot the difference?<br />
I'll give you a clue, its between the jpg and the alt.<br />
<br />
sorry - my typo there<!--content-->As they say, sometimes it纾
