Hi Tarquin,
I've have just discovered your pop-up and I'm employing it to serve up
portfolio images of our photo cards. Fantastic!! Exactly what I needed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
But - I've modified the script to NOT CENTER the pop-up, but leave it in the
upper left-hand corner.
AS TO BUGS - (I'm on a MAC os 10.3.9.) In IE 5.2.3 for MAC OS 10, it
appears that a few of my images (all JPGs and under 310px wide) are being
shown with various widths of white showing on the right side, (not yet
checked IE on PC side). I've checked the images and they are cropped
correctly. I've tried your original funtion, as well as your popImageExtra
function. All functions work, but leave white on the right side. In Firefox
on the MAC scroll bars appear that make you scroll their own width. In other
words, if the window was that same size with NO SCROLL BARS, the pop-up
would be fine. Finally, Opera seems to open the images as a link to a new
page, while opening a blank page in front of the browser, (I have reset all
Opera preferences).
I've attached the modified script, (popImageLeft), and your original. I
should warn you that I know only enough about javascript and programming to
be dangerous. I apologize for taking up your time if I've done something
ridiculously stupid to your very slick script. And if these are MAC only
problems, I can certainly live with them as is. But if not, and you could
help.... Thanks.

Interesting. Not seen this. Not sorprised of course, since IE mac is
really getting old now ...
sounds like it is limiting the minimum size of a window - I will take a
look into it when I get a chance.

I believe that was a bug that was introduced to Firefox in the 1.0x
builds. I am sure I have looked into it before (relates to incorrect
overflowing of table cell content) - if I remember correctly, the
display:table; fix helped alleviate that, but I will take another look
when I can get hold of a mac.

sounds like something in the script is producing an error. I tried the
copy you sent, and it works fine for me. Do you have a page online where
I can see it failing?
