Hi. I created centered pop-up windows for my main links (go to the content within “web”, “identity”, “flash”, etc) on my site, which you can find here:

[http://www.rawpixels.com](http://www.rawpixels.com)

On a Mac, the pop-up windows come up fine and are sized correctly, etc, but on a Windows based computer, the pop-up windows fill the screen. Can anyone tell me what I can do to make these pop-ups work correctly on both Mac and Windows platforms?

–This is an example of the code I use for my pop-up buttons–

on (release) {  
getURL(“javascript:openIT(‘images/web\_2.html’,772,495,null,null,‘mywinname01’);”);  
}

actually on my PC, the windows do center and are not the full screen size after a little jiggle occurs. Sorry, I can’t explain it better. It seems like a first window flashes then closes really fast, and then the window you want is displayed.

Just a thought: why don’t you do a centered popup window? I think its in the tutorials on this site.

A friend of mine who uses a PC just tried it and he said the pop-up windows are full screen. This is too weird. If anyone with a PC can try this again and email me a screenshot, I’d appreciate it! My email address is:
