can't get window size to fit image

I'm using the following code to try and open a window the exact size of the image the thumbnail links to. But it keeps resizing the image so that it doesn't quite fill the window.

Any ideas?

Are you using IE to view the page? If so, you may have the Automatic Image Resizing feature checked. Go to...

IE > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Multimedia > Uncheck Enable Automatic Image Resizing

Could that be it?

The new window by default has padding. You need to either resize the window to leave room for padding (~ 20px extra width and height) or open the image inside a Web page that will clear the padding. A PHP script would work well.

I was thinking that was it. I hoped I could remove the margins and such from the parent page and it would hold on to those properties. That didn't work either though. I guess new pages is the way to go.

Have you tried using the these attributes in the body tag of the window you are opening?
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" >

That's what I'm going to have to do it looks like. Right now it's just opening a jpeg

you must not give the direct url to your image file, it will resize.

you must refer to the page that show your image.

So:
