okay, i'm new at pop up stuff... and i just can't get my any window to pop up. I am trying to use an image link to a pop up window... I have done it like this:
>i put the longer code that lissa offers for this on the html for the window i want to pop up, is this right?
>and i put the shorter little one in the body of the page it's suposed to pop up from, is this right?
>i have tried almost everything. but anyone who has ever made a window successfully pop up could probably help me.
Thanks A Million

Could you post the full code your useing or a link to the page please, its much easier to help when we can see it, than just making guesses :)

i found a "pop-up generator" and made some working pop-ups, but now i want multiple pop-ups from one page, and i am wondering if i have to start over [completely] with the pop up codes, in order to do so...

but now i found something from
htmlbasix.com
so, whatever... now i want multiple popups from one page, is it a different code... or what? if i don't get a reply soon, i'll post a new thread about multiple pop-ups

No need to start a new thread, you could just respond here.

You have to give each popup its own name or they won't pop... Alcy explained it in this (http://www.lissaexplains.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29519) thread recently.

and that code, mentioned in the link you gave, would all belong in the head of the html document of the page i am linking the pop-up window from? right? and i would need to put some other code in the body, where i want the link to show up, can you give me all [both head and body parts] that code in the next reply? please...

For multiple popups -- click (http://www.lissaexplains.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29385&highlight=multiple+pop+ups)

<head>
<script language="javascript">
//<!--
function popup()
{ window.open ("YourURLgoesHere.html", "popup", "width=400, height=400, location=0, menubar=0, resizable=0, scrollbars=0, status=0, titlebar=1, toolbar=0") }
-->
</script>
</head>


<body>

<a href="javascript:popup()">Click here for popup window"</a>

</body>

Take the space out of the word "javascript"

i made it work... it was just so easy... bla..
and a word of advice to all... don't let anyone make you believe that a "pop-up generator" is easier than the plain old code, offered here by Lissa. Ha ha... i am so happyI LOVE YOU ALL... and i love my pop-ups, they are under control.
