Dustin Cook.

Try this: * `thumbnail` * Thread Starter [dustincook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dustincook/) * (@dustincook) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/#post-271640) * Thaks. The images now work, but IO do have another problem. * I want the new window to open with the image inside it, and have the window resized so that it fits around the image. * Any ideas on how to do that? * Thanks.

Had to look that one up in the dictionary. lol [/edit] * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/#post-271753) * > macmanx: `target="_blank"` is depreciated, don’t use it * Oops. It has been so long since I forced new windows on my readers that I have completely forgotten about that. There is a javascript tag to do the same thing, and it isn’t deprecated, but I don’t remember what it is either. Like I said, I no longer force new windows on my readers. * [Edit] I think this is the proper tag. Please correct me if I am wrong: `onClick ="javascript:popUp('/images/bigimage.jpg')"` * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/#post-271754) * [external.js](http://www.billhayes.us/wordpress/wp-content/themes/ivy/external.js) goes in the header and use rel=”external” in the links. * I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but “[deprecate](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecate)” is in Wikipedia. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/#post-271755) * Beel, I like that external.js file. Very smart and “future-safe” idea, but I haven’t seen it in action on your site. From reading it, it looks like it opens all `rel="external"` links in a new window. Am I right? * Thread Starter [dustincook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dustincook/) * (@dustincook) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/#post-271770) * OK, that new piece of code supplied is more like the code that would not work for me when I tried originally??? * Should it work: * [”Image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/?output_format=md#) * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/#post-271772) * Please post your code inside backticks. The backtick key is typically located to the left of the 1 key, above the tab key, and below the escape key. * Thread Starter [dustincook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dustincook/) * (@dustincook) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/#post-271773) * ` Chakotay` * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/#post-271774) * Try: * `Chakotay` * Thread Starter [dustincook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dustincook/) * (@dustincook) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/#post-271775) * Do I need to add anything to the template? If so, what should I add, where do I add it to and what page do I add it onto. * Thanks very much for the help. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/normal-html-in-posts/#post-271776) * Nope, just add that line to the post that you want to include the image thumbnail + full image popup in. Is it working?
