Image opens in IE6 but not in Netscape

[DaveP]

Hi,

I have a table of thumbnails, when I click one I want it to open a named new window, with background colours and text and a full size version of the chosen image. Depending on how I do it, I get different results in IE6, Netscape and Opera.

openproductwindow() is a javascript funtion which opens the window and writes the required text, 'filetoopen' is the variable carrying the name of the image to open in the new window.

Method 1 - works in IE6, new window loads but the image is not found in NS or Opera.

<td width="12%" align="center" valign="middle" class="product_table_background">
<a> <img src="pictures/products/EB63900thumb.JPG" name='text1' value='pictures/products/EB63900.JPG' width="66" height="72" border="0"
onMouseOver='javascript:filetoopen=(text1.value)' onClick=openproductwindow() alt="EB63900"></a></td>
<td width="48%" align="center" class="product_table_background" height="67" valign="top">

Method 2 - works in all 3 browsers, but I cannot get the image to align properly in the table, there's always an extra border underneath the thumbnail, which looks messy.

<form name='myform1'>
<input type='hidden' name='text1' value='EB63900.JPG'>
<input type='image' src='EB63900thumb.JPG' onMouseOver='javascript:filetoopen=(text1.value)' onClick=openproductwindow() alt="eb63900">
</form>

form name, text1 name and values change for each image.

I want to use method 1, because of the alignment issue, and because I've already set the code up for lots of images!

Can anyone tell me why method 1 doesn't work in NS and Opera, and how to get it to work?

Thanks for any help,
Regards,
Dave P.

After a good night's sleep, I managed to re-write the code so that it works in all 3 browsers, if anyone's remotely interested it now looks like this:

<td width="11%" align="center" valign="middle" class="product_table_background">
<a href="javascript:filetoopen='pictures/products/EB63900.JPG',openproductwindow()"><img src='pictures/products/EB63900S.JPG' width="66" height="72" border=0 alt="EB63900"></a></td>
