Image.src not working after loading popup window

I have a simple script located here which loads different images when
you click on some links. Everything works fine until you click on the
last link which opens a popup window (zoom image). After you close
this window and try to click on the different links they make the image
dissappear. Does anyone know what I can do to get it to work even
after I view the popup window? It seems like it loses focus or the
document model changes or something.

Thanks!

You are using javascript: pseudo-protocol HREFs in your links. This is
one of the many undesirable symptoms that follow from the execution of
javascript pseudo-protocol HREFs.

I noticed this example does work fine in Firefox but not IE. If I get
rid of the HREF's what would you recommend to replace them? Thanks!

The pseudo-protocol issue is most evident in IE browsers, but commercial
scripting always must work with IE so javascript pseudo-protocol HREFs
are out of the question anyway.

I would not design a script without knowing the context I was designing
it for.

You should read the group's FAQ with regard to conventional posting
style:-

- else you will not be getting much useful help here (assuming you are
willing to understand and act accordingly).

Re: Image.src not working after loading popup window

Thanks Richard. Changing out the HREF's with any other type of object
worked pefectly in IE.
