If you wish to have a bit more control over the child window that is opened to display the picture, then you can use the following.

In the head section, define a function such as:

function display_me(url){
picture_win=window.open(url,"picture_win","width=450,height=400,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,left=50,top=50,screenX=50,screenY=50");
}

Then in the link on your thumbnail use

Notes:
Keep the window.open definition on one continuous line, you avoid problems that way.

Make sure you pass either a complete url or a relative url for the picture to the function.

The window.open function is fairly self explanatory. You define the name of the window, the size, location, etc. The first field passed is the http link for the content, the second field is the window name (useful if you wish to refer to the window or close it from the parent window). The third defines the attributes of the new window (size, position, scrollbars or not, etc...)

Hope this is useful

Easy...

Add this lil' tid bit into the tag:
[Doesn't matter where.]

target="_blank"

That should fix you up.
