It has a quick tutorial on pop-up windows.

I think this is what you need.

<a href="#"onClick="alert('Type your message here');return false;">Click on me!</a>

if you want it a bit more complicated here is another one-

<script language = "JavaScript">

var color = prompt("What color do you prefer, red or blue? ","");
var adjective;

if (color == "red") {
adjective = "lurid.";
} else if (color == "blue") {
adjective = "cool.";
} else {
adjective = "confused."
}

var sentence = "You like " + color + "? The monkey thinks you're " +
adjective + "<p>";

// stop hiding me -->
</script>

both of the above ideas would be blocked by a pop up blocker, meaning most users will not see the pop up.

Agreed. Why annoy your visitors with pop-ups anyway ?? Surely you can come up with a less annoying solution.

I think what you are looking for uses dynamic html if you go to Dynamic Drive DHTML(dynamic html) & JavaScript code library they have several different solutions for popup boxes which a blocker wont block.

i have tried that a pop up box appears when a link is click but its in javascript. Anyway here is the code

var managewin=null;
function DGNewWindow(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=yes,menubar=no,to olbar=no,resizable=yes'; if(managewin!=null) { managewin.close(); } managewin=window.open(mypage,myname,settings); managewin.focus(); }

To call this function from html use this:

<a href="#" onclick="DGNewWindow('mypage','myname','width,'hei ght','yes/no','pos')">

This is an example for you:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Vidu Popup New windows</title>
<script type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
</head>

<body >
<br />
<br />
<a href="#" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.vietnammillionpixel.com','','resizable=yes,wid th=500,height=500')">New windows without component</a><br />
<br />

<a href="" onclick="MM_popupMsg('hello\r')" >Popup message</a>
</body>
</html>

I hope you do it ok.

If you use Dreamweaver 8, then the pop up function can be added very easily from the "Behaviours" tab.
