Nope! I did the same thing! I know the exact problem solution. First of all, the page that you want to pop-up, customize it however you want with whatever content, then, in the \ tag, put: **\HeadFace v5\**. Now, open the panel for the button actions, where it says: **target\_winName = “HeadFace v5”;** , replace with: ```auto target_winName = "name"; ``` Keep the target\_winName as name. Test in browser (ctrl+F12 [win] || apple+F12 [mac]) - Should do the job. ---
