I have an HTML question, I don't use this command very often and forget the syntax (and all my books are at the office).

Does anybody know the parameters for controlling a new window spawned from an "a href" command using the target=blank parameter.

Specifically what I am looking for is to control the size of the window and surpressing the menus.

TIA

Controlling the window size is a java command, but the other half you're
looking for is <a href="url"target="_blank">yada</a>

It comes from using old school frames. target="frameName".

I googled for some java script and this looks like the best option.

This will go in the head:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "',
'toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,location=1,statusbar=1,menubar
=1,resizable=1,width=400,height=400');");
}
-->
</script>

The variables are in blue. 1 means yes, and 0 means no. If you don't
want your window to show your url, location=0. If you don't want a
toolbar, toolbar=0.    

This will be how you build your link:

<a href="javascript:popUp('http://url.com')">Open the Popup
Window</a>

And enter your urlJames Orr39088.9353935185

Perfect... thank you.
