Open an image file on clicking a link

[bimeldip]

how do we open an image file?

So far i had this done:

function clickLink()
{
var a = document.createElement('A');
td.appendChild(a);
a.href = '#';
a.onclick = function(){ createImage(); };
var img = document.createElement('IMG');
img.src = '../windowfiles/bee.gif';
a.appendChild(img);
}
function createImage()
{
 
// im stuck here
 
}
 

i want the function to work such that when the link "Image" in my html page is clicked the image "bee.gif" will appear in another page.

how do i go about this?

What do you mean by "appear in another page"? Is this a new window or just a link to the image?

If it's just a link to the image, all you need to do is change the href attribute of the link to point to the image source.

There is a very simple solution to this. Just use window.open and make the URL point to the image.
