How can I open an image (with an url which is a mako variable) in a new window inside a mako template? I would like the simplest thing possible. This is what I'm trying to use:
<script>
function openImage(image_url) {
window.open('_blank').document.write('<img src="' + image_url + '">');
}
</script>
<a href="#"><img src="${image_overview_url}" onclick="openImage(${image_to_open_url});"></a>
However, no new window opens with the code above... Any other options how to achieve this?
You might try putting quotes around your image url in your onclick attribute. I have replaced openImage(${image_to_open_url}) with openImage('${image_to_open_url}'). I don't think it can bare as you have it.
<script>
function openImage(image_url) {
window.open('_blank').document.write('<img src="' + image_url + '">');
}
</script>
<a href="#"><img src="${image_overview_url}" onclick="openImage('${image_to_open_url}');"></a>
