Okay…this is really frustrating!

I read the tutorials on centered pop ups and even looked at Lost’s version of the same but for the life of me cannot get the ■■■■ thing to work!

The problem is that I know nothing about html because I spent all my time in flash…:-\

Thanks

haha…very funny.:trout:

The problem is this…

I have a site that I would like to cut to a pop up window of the scene following preload. There would be an introductory html page with flash detector, mention of the designer etc…

the only thing is, when I tried either of Kirupa’s or Lost’s versions I was simply…ahem…lost in the context.

For example…with lost’s version of centered pop ups, he explains that for the first line of code, you must place it between the ‘head’s’ of the html code…I got that. but the problem lies afterward, it says that you then have to notify html of the use of this javascript…where does that line have to go!!!

maybe this isn’t what I need at all but thanks:\*(

in html

to start a java statement you must begin with

```php
 <Javascript> 

```

then end with:

```php
</javascript>

```

I think, if it helps macromedia HomeSite is a brilliant prog. for html/java

Here are the files…the only problem is that the popup swf is a little over the limit…but I guess you don’t need it…all the files will be included sequentially.

Thanks Again…

Your window name can only be one word, you have it as two…

don’t worry … the popup will have the name stated in the \< title \> and \< /title \> tags of your document  
so just chage this line

```auto
getURL("javascript:newWin('Amore.html',' **CafeAmore**','500','750','no','no')");

```

=)

[size=1]**[EDIT]**  
again … remove the space between java and script[/size]

//javascript:newWin(‘Amore.html’,‘Cafeamore’,‘500’,‘750’,‘no’,‘no’)

no problem.

I was wondering could it be an issue of IE version?  
I think that I am only running 5.5…could that be it?:-\
