Hello,

How can i create a link to a pop-up window of a webpage? Do i have to modify the link to do that or the page that's being linked?

Sorry if this isn't HTML.

Thank you

Usually pop up windows are created from javascript within a web page, and so you'll need to go to the web page and find the javascript function that's creating the popup, and then duplicate it in javascript on your web page.

You don't need javascript to do it. It can be done that way but you can also do it with html. You modify the hyperlink but the page must be set up to fit within the size of the box you create or scrolling must be enabled

Here is an example , click on the contact link and see what happens.
This is the code that makes it happen. This example is within a php script. The pure html version is slightly different.

Quote:

<a href <?php echo($dir_root_path . "contact.php"); ?> onClick="window.open('./contact.php','Contact','scrollbars=yes,resizable=n o,width=550,height=600')" onMouseOver="style.textDecoration='underline'" onMouseOut="style.textDecoration='none'" >Contact Us</a>

If the link doesn't need to be a certain size or have any of the toolbars, scrolling, address bar, etc turned off, then you can just open the link by modifying the link's target. A target of _blank will open a new window each time:

Code:

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Click</a>

Otherwise if you want scrolling turned off, address bar hidden, etc.. then you add the javascript:

Code:

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newWindowName','scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=550,height=600');return false;">Click</a>

The JS code above will open a new window, even if the user has JS turned off.

I did not realize that it was javascript since there was no script call in the <head> section. Guess I was using it afterall.
