Module development and code questions

I have the image module, img_assist, image upload installed. It works an all but I am trying to make it so when you click on the picture to open it larger, it opens in a blank window. I want to accomplish just what this site has (www.howtoforge.com) look on the left sidebar at the screenshots, it will open a gallery and when you click on an image and open it up, there are links to different image resolutions at the bottome and they open in a new window. How can this be accomplished?

Ok, i stole some code from the nice meus modeule to create a similar menu that will crawl through a shared directory for all subfolder and create menus items based on that hierarchy. It works, everything is cool. Except when there's 1000+ folders (dont ask me why). So it times out crawling through all of those folders creating them menu. I figured i would have it run a cron job creating the menu, then when accessing a page, it would take the stored info.

I'm trying to exclude certain event types from my upcoming events block and I'm not sure where to start. I added (using CCK) a second type of event called "ShipCal" that will show upcoming shipping dates instead of just normal events. Currently when I add these shipcal events they show up on my upcoming events list. I only want "event" type events to show up on the upcoming events list not "shipcal" events.

Any insite will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have three drupal vhosts, three different folders under 'sites' with three different settings.php
Each settings.php has this line:

ini_set('session.cookie_domain','.mysite.com');

which (after reading countless forums) is given as a solution for sharing cookies accross different vhost names. However, once I added this line to the settings.php I can no longer login at all....

Dunno if this is the right category for this post, but....

I installed Multiflex theme to my site www.dyrepass.com, it looks nice, but there is two small problems:
* Acidfree albums dont fit with the content, some albums "dissapear". Guess I either have to edit the albums module to fit the size of the content, OR edit the theme size to take the full page. How do I do this?

* Some text is to small in the multiflex theme. Easy way to help with this? E.g. Login text.

Hello, I'm trying to make a form where an item has a checkbox and when selected they can enter data into a corresponding text field. My specific case is that I have a list of items that can be requested and I want to add a field to the list that asks how many of the checked item they want.

Is there a way to currently do this in the webform module?
