Question

Click one link - open 2 pages in one new page

Asked by: BuckChrisBuck

Hi, this may sound confusing but this is what I would like to do and I am not sure of the best way about it. My knowledge is limited but OK.

I am creating a website where people can buy my paintings. When they click on an image of a painting, I want to open up a .jpg and a standard pricing page in the same window. I could put the prices on every picture page but then when prices change I would have to amend every single one.

At the moment, I just open the painting using some javascript I found here at EE:
in the <head> area I have put

<Script>
function imgOpen(url,w,h) {
var a = window.open(url,"imgwin","width="+w+" height="+h)
}
</Script>

and I call the picture using:

<a href="javaScript:imgOpen('../Web%20Ready/seascapes/gonefishing550.jpg',200,200)"><img src="../Web%20Ready/seascapes/gonefishing220.jpg" width="200" height="194" vspace="100" border="0"></a>

This allows me to acurately control the size of the resultant window.

If I could somehow change this so that it would create a new page and open it with both the .jpg and another file I have called pricing then I would be very happy - or perhaps this is not the best way to do it?

Thanks for your thoughts on this one. Please note that I need a simple solution as I am a simple kind of guy.

CHeers

Chris

Hi,
Are all the pictures the same price?  Do you have PHP available to you on your server?  If so you could use include a standard header in each of your pages which would mean that you would only have to update 1 file.  If this is what you are after, I can do you a simple example :-)

John

How about using an iFrame for the pricing information? You can open up a picture page using properties from the link, then from your image page, open the correct iFrame with pricing information. This way you could have just one page that calls both your image, and the pricing information.

Actually, I have a feeling that this is just part of the same information. Now I don't know how it is build, but if it would be from a database, you could simply retrieve all information for a product and display it that way.

Regards,
Max.

Sorry for the delay guys. I neede to check some things out.
I think the PHP example would be useful thanks John, but you may need to explain it a little.
Thanks for the info Dreammaster but I want to avoid frames and databases.

Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris,

I have done a simple example of what I mean, which you can download from:

http://www.3doubleu.co.uk/testarea/1link2pages.zip

It shows how to include PHP files within your pages which makes it a lot easier and faster to update your site.  You will have to upload the files to your server in order to get it to work as PHP files will not run offline.

Hope this helps,

John
