Very Simple question:

To create a link to another page in the existing window, I simply type:

<a href="popup.asp">Test this</a>

But how would I modify this code to get the link to appear in a new window? preferably that is minimized to a small size that only covers about a quarter of the screen or even less?

<a href="popup.asp" target=_blank>Test this</a>

Although I would discourage the use of the target attribute. Using some javascript instead would be better:

Thanks for that quick simple reply. But why would you discourage using 'target' attribute?

Sounds like your best bet would be javascript. I would do a search for a javascript pop-up window.

You would be able to find many that would fit your needs.

This is a generic script from Dreamweavers snippets.

var popUpWin=0;
function popUpWindow(URLStr, left, top, width, height)
{
if(popUpWin)
{
if(!popUpWin.closed) popUpWin.close();
}
popUpWin = open(URLStr, 'popUpWin', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,m enubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=y es,width='+width+',height='+height+',left='+left+' , top='+top+',screenX='+left+',screenY='+top+'');
}

Hope this helps
