that is the code for the link- so it should go wherever you want the link to appear.

also, the chromeless code itself should go in the head section of the page, and there should be a </head> tag after it. then the link goes anywhere between the <body> and </body> tags.

I just noticed that you're missing this part of the code:
<script src="chromeless_35.js"></script>
you will also need to make sure that you uploaded the chromeless_35.js file

that should go just before the script code you have.

not a huge huge deal, but you should also have a </html> tag at the very end of the document (after the </body> tag) :)

did you make sure you uploaded the file? and anyway, if that version of the chromeless window for some reason didnt work on Windows XP, it would still work for me. the OS really doesn't make a difference, only the browser. the only thing wrong with chromeless windows in XP occurs with a service pack installed, and I think that only affects the size of the window, if I'm not mistaken.

I don't now, i downloaded it, unzipped it, and uploaded it.

Did you upload the js to a different directory? Not blueblumaroo?

Sorry guys but she was right.

Warning! The Chromeless Window script currently does NOT work in Windows XP from SP1 (Service Pack 1) and thereon after. The problem is due to a changed behavior in XP that prevents Chromeless Windows all together (security update). We're still observing to see if this behavior will be changed soon, though if not, may have to remove this script altogether. If you wish to use Chromeless Windows, please make sure you understand the above - Oct 28th, 2002

Well.... that depends on whether she has the service pack or not. Right now we can't get the script to work at all, I know when the service pack has been downloaded the window will open.

I just downloaded it, but i will skip that and just make a normal window to pop up for now.
