How do I link to a site, within a popup window? I don’t want my entire page to be replaced by another site, just within a popup window.

I am a total newbie and I have no idea about what code to use or how to physically make the popup window happen.

Thanks for your help.

Nervous and restless…I’m no longer young.

When you input your link path on the text object, set the target fiel to “\_blank”. That will open a new browser window for the link.

if you know anything about jscript you can do it that way tooo…

::EDIT::  
Put this in your header of your HTML file…

```auto
  
<script language="javascript">
var popUpWin=0;
function popUpWindow(URLStr, left, top, width, height)
{
  if(popUpWin)
  {
	if(!popUpWin.closed) popUpWin.close();
  }
  popUpWin = open(URLStr, 'popUpWin', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menub ar=no,scrollbar=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=yes,width='+width+',height='+height+',left='+left+', top='+top+',screenX='+left+',screenY='+top+'');
}
</script>

```

And then all you have to do is call the function and pass it variables…  
You call the function like this in a link…

```auto
  
<a href="javascript:popUpWindow('http://www.simplifiedsoftware.org','20', '20', '200','200')">LINK</a>

```
