I have a small question which I hope you can clear. I have a page with content, and I have another page with DHTML written (it is a scroller). I want to hyperlink the DHTML page from the first one in such a way that : the link should open a new window of size 170 * 140 with the DHTML scroller. Can you please help me? I seem to have forgotten the code...

Thank you for anyone who helps in advance!

put this in the head..

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--

var win=null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll,pos){
if(pos=="random"){LeftPosition=(screen.width)?Math .floor(Math.random()*(screen.width-w)):100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?Math.floor(Mat h.random()*((screen.height-h)-75)):100;}
if(pos=="center"){LeftPosition=(screen.width)?(scr een.width-w)/2:100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?(screen.height-h)/2:100;}
else if((pos!="center" && pos!="random") || pos==null){LeftPosition=0;TopPosition=20}
settings='width='+w+',height='+h+',top='+TopPositi on+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',l ocation=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,too lbar=no,resizable=no';
win=window.open(mypage,myname,settings);}
// -->
</script>



then

<a href="dhtmlscroller.html" onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'dhtml','170','140',' yes','center');return false" onfocus="this.blur()">YourLinkText</a>

enjoy

Thanks for the help....I too am too lazy to write my scripts, but I've done some neat ones. I just forgot how to do this...will try it and confirm whether it worked. Thanks.

I'm sorry for double posting (I couldn't use edit...not allowed), but the script isn't working. On using the script, the link does open a new window, but it is as big as a normal page. It isn't resized to the given dimensions.

I think I'll explain the problem once again...

I want to add regular announcements to my site. I have a great DHTML scroller which can scroll text from bottom to top with a pause...I want this to appear in a new box of a small size when the visitor clicks on a link in another page. How do I do this? I have created a page with the DHTML alone and I have my index page...how do I make a link in the index page so that it opens up the page with the DHTML in a new window of small size (170*140)

Thanks for the help extended anyway....

well, when i tested this out.. i didnt get any problems..

if u can give a demo of the pages, then i can find out whether this script has any conflict with any other scripts u got..

but this does work properly ..

I do think it is clashing with some other script...I have two other javascripts on the same page. I will get you the demo. Right now, I have deleted the DHTML scroller page from the server. I will upload it again in due time..

If the scripts really are clashing, can you help me set them right without losing any of them? I really have trouble with that part...

let me ave a look at the script and then it should be pretty straightforward once the problem area/code has been identified..

Hey, i didn't notice this on any other threads, but, this page gets stretched way past the size of my browser (the tables too) I'm using safari 1.0.1 on mac OSX 10.2.8
