Java script gurus, what code do I use so that when someone clicks on a picture, a popup opens, showing the same pictue but with a greater heighth and width set, then automatically the print dialog box opens for the popup window?

Thanks!

You can probably use [this](http://www.javascript-page.com/printpage.html) or [this.](http://javascript.internet.com/messages/print-page.html)

I’d just make a link to a regular html page with the only content being the larger image, with the javascript being run onLoad. (Although you may want to make sure the [image is loaded](http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/848/fid/122) before you print.)
