</div>

is there anything i can add to this

```php

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
  window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>

```

to make the window exactly centered when it pops up?

thanks

-----------------------edit------------------------------------

here’s what i have now

```php

<html>
<head>
<title>aaronsleeper.com</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
centerWidth = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
centerHeight = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;  
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#7A0A08" onLoad="MM_openBrWindow('flashSite.html','aaronsleeper','width=640,height=480,top='+centerHeight+',left='+centerWidth+'')">
</body>
</html>

```

Congrats 😛

I see your design is improving slightly each time I see this layout. Good Job, I like it.

A few suggestions about this pop-up.

People with pop-up stoppers will never see your site because it prevents the pop-up from happening. My suggestion is that on your MAIN window (the window that launches your pop-up) you should include 2 links. 1 to open up in normal mode (so people with pop-up stoppers can see it, and pop-ups can be annoying), and another to open it in a pop-up.

Just a suggestion :love:
