Hi
I just created some powerful screen captures with the free tool add in for foxfire (Fire Shot)

My question is what's the best way to display them as a pop-up, with a close window button.

Regards
Ron

The easiest way to show something would be to hard-code a link to it into your node's content, with a target attribute. This can be done using the filtered HTML input format.

Using full HTML (for administrators only as it's a security risk), you can add JavaScript which creates your popups and controls their size, visibility of controls, etc. Figure that whatever you put in a static page you can put in a node.

I'm fairly new at this, so I only know the most obvious way. If someone has a better way, take their advice.

i haven't tried it yet but the http://drupal.org/project/jtooltips module looks interesting. Another alternative is to just do it with some jquery-- there s a plugin for it: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Tooltip

I am still trying to get it to work! I feel it's the right track, but I'm not there yet.
Don't know about the tool tips module, I will post results here when I get it to work
Thanks
