You'll need javascript (window.open) for that. Here's a handy wizard for it:

javascript!

please don't copy and paste, it won't work (i'm not very experienced with js), but try something along the lines of:

<script language="JavaScript">
function new_win(url, bg){
window.open(url,"newwindow");
newwindow.background = bg;
}
</script>

you'll have to look up the exact syntax for the background bit.

edit: damn kris you beat me to it

well you could use php (or asp) conceivably:

in the new window:

<?php
$bgcolor = $_GET['bgcolor'];
echo "<HTML><BODY bgcolor=\"$bgcolor\">";
?>

in the linking page:

newpage.php?bgcolor=#FF00FF

If you want to avoid using ASP/PHP/whatever, just use Javascript to:

1. Set a cookie on the main page holding the picture info
2. Open a new window
3. Read the cookie and show the corresponding picture

well, what i wanted is an image that changed. that you clicked something and the imaged changed to the thing you chose.
i remember asking this before and shen said something like that.
the only thing i find searching is google, are scripts like the one Kramy sent me, that are for images that you want to show in a certain order, but i dont find anyone that lets you choose from many, an specific one, instead of having just two buttons, next and prev

Just put some javascript instead of the url of a page as well. Like: window.open("javascript: document.write(\'<html><body>< img src="+imageurl+"></body></html>\')");.
