Opening a new fixed-size window from a link

Question

I'm primarily an illustrator, but am working on my own new
web site and do a few for other folks as well.
I'm by no means a guru so excuse my clueless questions... (I
use Dreamweaver 8)
I see many web pages that can do
any or all of the following and I'm hoping without complex
coding or js stuff...
+ Open a fixed-size window from a link on a page - as in a
smaller window like 250x400 that would contain a photo or drawing
+ Opens a new page from a link with a fade-in (ie, from blank
or dark background to an image) like what happens when you click
the "view larger" link at this page =

There's a reason. Screen captures only demonstrate "what",
without
providing any useful "why" information. Show us your code,
please - best
way would be to post a link to the page. I suspect the reason
you are
seeing what you are seeing is that the container for the
lightbox effect is
not large enough, or the image being used as a background for
that container
is not large enough. We'll only know that by seeing the live
page.
