There are 3 more 100cc planes in the works. MX-2 102", Giles G202 103", and a 106" Extra 300 that is a scaled down version of the 41% Extra including the pocket hinges and dual wing tubes.

ACK! Pop ups!

Sending a photo request off to another window is not the same thing as a popup. We do it exactly the same way that RCU does it.

Everything stays in the same window unless you request a larger version of a photo which spawns a second browser so it can be made larger without messing up the original setup.

I hate popups also.

Trust me I am not trying to be argumentative; I just want to provide food for thought and honest feedback on your website. In Internet Explorer when I click on a photo it tells me it blocked the pop up. If I want to allow pop ups from your site I can we all know how that works. In the internet web language one definition of a pop-up is: “page or window, usually small, that pops up either when a link or linked item is clicked, or by some automatic or other stimulus."

Please bare with me, it's been a long time since I talked web page/java/html code. So I might get a term wrong.

Yes, RCU does it in a similar fashion. They (RCU) use a Java script: a href="javascript:popWin made by:http://www.usingit.com/ You use HTML code "href="images/3.jpg" target="_blank".
Looking at your code the "target="_blank"" this is what is causing my pop up blocker to go off. The "_blank" says to IE open a new window. If you use _top it tells the image to load over the current open page. However none of this is really needed. you can just use this href="images/3.jpg. This will have the same effect as target="_top"

I prefer when I click on a photo and that image opens in the same browser window that I am in. Thus when I am done I can use the "back" button to return.

Another method that can be employed is to give each picture after it's clicked its own web page. This method will include the stylized sheet links at the top menu bar and you can add a link to return to the product line that the picture was from. This method is obviously more labor intensive but it really does create a nicer cleaner finished appearance to a site.

Also noticed you are using Adobe Go Live to create the web site, how do you like it?

Edited cause I can't spell

That is the test that I use also, and mine does not operate the same way. On IE I have popups blocked at the "Low" level. I get the new full window pictures but not the very annoying ads. At least I think it's true, there's never a real junk mail around when you need one to test with.

Anyway I'm not the HTML expert, the site was done by maudib on here who is a professional, maybe he can comment about Adobe Go Live.

I've been following this and I haven't had the problems Ken is having. I'm a network engineer with 25+years exp and am running Vista. IE7 doesn't have any issues on my end so I checked my kids computer, (XP Home) and it had no problems, so I checked the Wife's pc, (XP Pro) still no issues. Point? Looks like the majority of people will be just fine. I think maybe his browser is the subject of over configuration and no longer in a "default" form.

I'm an internet user, web page designer and now program manager of 12 years.
No my Browser is IE 7 and set to Meduim high on security on my XP Pro machine. My Vista machine accepts the new window in the same settings.
My XP machine runs an antispyware program called Spyware Doctor. Might have something to do with it. My XP machine is my primary machine at the moment. My vista machine is still waiting on drivers from Nvidia to operate correctly.

All and all It's not a big issue just pointing it out. Not trying to turn this into a debating match. Screen shot is an example of it. Just so you see I'm not nuts

I was in tech for 30+ years, but now I'm out of it (that can have several meanings) and glad of it.

Model airplanes are a lot more fun than computers.

I hope you find the problem Ken.

Yes I have a few red/white/black in stock, and I think I may have one white/red/blue left.

I suggest you act quickly, when these are gone it will be at least a month before I get more and that is a small batch of flames and yellows.
