Problem with Photos opening

**mearnswoodtech** · 13 July 2010, 10:00 PM

I have just completed a website for a customer and I have added some photographs and I have used the webdesigners 6 settings for photos to open and dim the page - however the photos are opening in a window - Anyone assist with this please ?

I can give you the web address to view if required.

First observation, your photos are .png - this isn't good, way too large.
Remove the drop shadow from the thumbnails. If you want a drop shadow on the thumbs, create a second and separate object behind them as the shadow.

Make sure your photos are always JPG, there is no benefit in converting JPG to PNG.

You can email your .web file to me at sledger [at] gmail [dot] com if you wish.

Have you used any other .js (javascripts) anywhere?
It's possible another third party .js has interfered.

do you have pop-up photo checked in the web properties under the link tab ?

OK Craig got it,
Yes it's the google maps <iframe code block which kills the popups.
Drag it off the page then preview or export and the highslide popups work fine.

Hopefully John Horn (Covoxer) can suggest a way around this.
