I’m trying to create what should be a very simple pop-up window for my flash site. I’m using the tutorial located on [the macromedia site](http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14192) with the GetURL:javascript version, which should be easy, but It’s just not working out!

What is baffling to me is that is works fine when I have the URL set to something simple like “[www.macromedia.com](http://www.macromedia.com)”. However, the link I need it to go to is “[http://s88516400.onlinehome.us:80/tinc?key=dPqP87r0&formname=tell](http://s88516400.onlinehome.us:80/tinc?key=dPqP87r0&formname=tell)”

I have two buttons with that and a similar link that I need pop-ups for. When I set the two buttons to lead to “[www.macromedia.com](http://www.macromedia.com)” and “[www.google.com](http://www.google.com)” just for a test run, it worked fine. However, once I put in those two longer URLs, one popped up with a full browser window, while the other had the correct window size. I have no idea why it would do this. I’ve redone it several times, making sure that I am not accidentally deleting a code. Could it be because it’s a longer URL?

To simplify, this is all I’m doing:

Changing this:

javascript:join(‘[http://www.macromedia.com](http://www.macromedia.com)’,‘join1’,‘height=450,width=450,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no’)

and

javascript:tell([http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)’,‘tell2’,‘height=450,width=450,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no’)

to

javascript:join(‘[http://s88516400.onlinehome.us:80/tinc?key=dPqP87r0&formname=join’,‘join1’,'height=450,width=450,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no](http://s88516400.onlinehome.us:80/tinc?key=dPqP87r0&formname=join','join1','height=450,width=450,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no)’)

and

javascript:tell(‘[http://s88516400.onlinehome.us:80/tinc?key=dPqP87r0&formname=tell’,‘tell2’,'height=450,width=450,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no](http://s88516400.onlinehome.us:80/tinc?key=dPqP87r0&formname=tell','tell2','height=450,width=450,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no)’)
