Open image in new tab

[ann.jensen]

Hi,
I have a large image displayed in one of my webhelp transformation topics. I would like to make this image clickable and open it in a new browser e.g.

Code: Select all

<a target="_blank" href="image.png">

<img class="image" src="image.png">

</a>

Is there a hook that would let me do this?
Thanks in advance,
Ann

Hello,

You could do this using a custom JavaScript file containing the following code:

Code: Select all

$(document).ready(function(){

	$('img.image').click(function(){

		window.open($(this)[0].src, '_blank')

	});

});

This makes any image clickable. When you click an image, a new browser window containing the image is opened. To restrict this behavior only to some specific images, you could use the outputclass attribute in your DITA topic and then use this outputclass in your custom JavaScript.

Bogdan

Hi,
I realised since that I could do what I wanted using xref e.g.

Code: Select all

<xref format="png" scope="external" href="add_tt_pflow.png"

                        ><image href="add_tt_pflow.png" scalefit="yes"/></xref>

I had never xref'ed on an image before

Regards,
Ann
