hi guys,

im not quite sure if my previous posting was clear enough but im having a real prob with this one…i searched the site and come up with this [Tutorial](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/links_dynamictextbox.htm) hoping will help explain what i want to achieve. what i want is how you go about making the dynamic “[Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com)” text link, a link to a pop up window (which will be one of my existing page) with attributes that can be customize?

thanx in advance

yeah… aha… i get it tottaly…

Well what your going to have to do is in the URL field where u set the URL for the text you have to put in your javascript piece… for example:

Javascript:Launch(‘[http://www.kirupa.com/kirupa.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/kirupa.htm)’)

–Note the “about” there should say “javascript” but it wont for some reason!! 😠

But one of the main things u have to make sure is that there is **Nothing** in the Target drop down thing. To make sure that there is nothing in there u may have to retype that piece of text that you want as a hyperlink and re-do the link.

Hope it helps you… if you need more help just ask… 🙂

mmm…it didn’t work…about the Target drop down thing, i can’t get to nothing at all if that’s what you mean. i got no choice but to choose between, \_blank, \_top, \_parent, \_self, and 6 set as the default target. also what should i put on my html file to output the window of my choice ie. with customize attributes…

Well… okay… you will have to recreate to text again… so just like type the text you want to have as the hyperlink and then just directly put in the url as u normally would and dont touch the drop down thing for the target and then it should stay as empty…

And as for the javascript there are many you can make one yourself if u want if u know how to write javascript… i dont really… so i just took this from [this](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/newwindow.htm) tutorial

```auto
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> 
<!-- Begin 
function Launch(page) { 
OpenWin = this.open(page, "KirupaStyle", "toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,width=550,height=250"); 
} 
// End --> 
</SCRIPT> 

```

If you would like for me too post a sample or you want to post your own sample for me to fix for you… it would be no problem… 🙂 jsut ask… 🙂
