Displaying Images from a Web page

[Slaphead]

I want to display an image file by clicking on an icon on a web page.
I have the following piece of html.

<a href="docs/picture.jpg"> <img border="0" src="images/image.gif"
width="30" height="25" border="0" alt="Document Image"></a>

This works in as much as the picture.jpg opens up in the brwser. I
want the image to open up in the users default jpg viewing application
not in the brwser. Can I set it to do this.

Cheers

No. The visitor may not even have a graphics viewing program. Or,
typically, the browser may be the default jpg viewer.

IOW, you cannot specify, except to tell them to right-click on the
picture, save it to their hard drive and open it with the application
of their choice.

As BTS said, no, the browser settings determine which program opens the
file.

But let me mention two things. Using border="0" (whether one or twice!!)
means you're removing the most obvious sign that this is a link, so be
sure to make it painfully obvious in context that it's clickable. Also,
I'm sure you did this just for the example, but make the alt text a
suitable replacement for user agents which cannot display the image.

Hmph. I wouldn't recommend RealPlayer to anyone. For any purpose.

Then make a slide show with Windows Movie Maker for .wmv-format?
