I need to make pop-up windows appear from a link.
But the stuff on pop-ups on the lissaexplains pages don't work for me for some reason. Could someboady gimme a hand please?

Also, how do i make links that go to another website from my site, appear in a whole new window???

Thanks.

For your second question....

This opens in a new window.... <a href="your link" target="_blank">Your Link Name</a>

This opens in a window that you already have open..... <a href="your link" target="_new">Your Link Name</a>

This opens fully in the same window..... <a href="your link" target="_top">Your Link Name</a>

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

that belongs between the <head> and </head>

then this links is for the text link to open the pop-up

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

the red parts should always be named the same, otherwise the pop-up will not work. Also ifyou use more then one of these codes, the rest parts should be named different from each pop-up. So 3 above should be named the same, but when you got another pop-up the other 3 red parts shoujld be named different then the ones i made red above.

Love,
Mirna

Where it says titlebar="1", change that to titlebar="0"

Heh. Hope that helps.

Still not working !

this is what i have:

<script language="javascript">
//<!--
function popup()
{ window.open ("rants.html","popup"," width=400,height=400,loca
tion="0",menubar="0",resizabl
e="0",scrollbars="1",status="0"
,titlebar="0",toolbar="0") }
-->

And where the link goes I have:

<a href=" rants.html"> old rants </a>


Can anybody see what I've done wrong with this?

Hmmm ... try this:
<A href="rants.html" OnClick="window.open('rants.html','pop_window','height=400, width=400,resizable=no');return false;"> old rants </a>
I also have a script somewhere to center the pop-up on the screen...

Oooh, the bar at the top! I think that the only way to get rid of that is to use a chromeless window.

Go here to learn how to set up a chromeless window: http://www.dhtmlshock.com/window-scripts/Chromeless/default.asp
It's really a lot of work just to get a window without the top bar. Personally, I'd just deal with it.

a pop-up has a bar because otherwise people can't move it from place to place :) It's just a standard thing that pop-ups have.

My friend has a pop-up without the bar at the top.
go to her 'recent ramblings' (http://www.rottonpear.tk)

I mean the bar that you write web URLs in..you know the URL bar thing?

anyway...help me. i tried chromeless windows but can't seem to get them to work either.
