It's because the image file for the actual comic is not yet in the browser cache, so it doesn't know how big to make the window. I see several options: * Download the file yourself and present it to the client using a local cache of your own. There's sample code for downloading binaries, such as images, in themeinst.xml I posted a while back. * Don't set the popup height/width until the image has 'real' height and width properties available. This occurs when the image has been cached. * I was hoping the RSS feed provided the dimensions, but it doesn't. :( Oh well, next best option is to fake it. You can assume that Sunday comics will all be a certain size (h=515, w=725) and every other day will be regular strip size (h=213, w=300). Set the height and width of the img tag during import, something like... s = s.replace(/(<img)[\s]*/g,"<img width=600 height=213 "); ...then stuff it into the content. Determining the date would have to be some funky evaluation of the title string of the comic. Strip off the first two words then set the date to a date object, getting the weekday off of that. Messy, but it should work (as long as the RSS format doesn't change). Regards, Shawn K.
