</div>

that’s not all your code cause you are calling a function (using dreamweaver i presume)

better to write it yourself

here is a simple example

onclick="window.open(‘[http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)’,‘win’,‘width=450,height=350’); return false

```php

<script language ="javascript">
onclick="window.open('http://www.kirupa.com','win','width=450,height=350'); return false
</script>

```

</div>

window.open  
is the method used to make a popup appear in javascript

your code posted is not complete for you are missing the dreamweaver function called MM\_openBrWindow

by the way you might want to change  
’/small\_window. htm’  
to  
’/small\_window.htm’ (extra space before htm extension)
