I made a small pop up using this code which works great but (in firefox) when the user clicks on my link the new window opens a new tab in the small pop up. I want it to open with a new full size page and close the small itself. I am a newbie and could use some direction from a veteran. Also it's not working at all in ie 7.0. invalid arguement error on line 9

Here's my code: for the first page and below that is the pop up window

I have tried that, the pop-up window is re-sizeable now which I didn't think was the case before in firefox. It still does not work in IE 7.0

Did I change it correctly?

Any Other suggestions?

Ok, this one worked for me (I found it at http://forums.asp.net/p/1043306/1457598.aspx):
use 'opener', like this:
the main window, the same as yours...

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Friends Opinions</TITLE>

</HEAD>
<BODY>
<center>
<font size="+4" face="georgia" color="red">Use this cool address book tool to <br>find out what your pals think of your poker skills<br><br>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.open('pokertest.html','Friends Opinion - Play Online','width=600,height=150')">Start</a></font>
</center>
</BODY>
</HTML>

and the child window...

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>

</HEAD>
<body>
<table bgcolor="#cccccc">
<td><img src="td.jpg" width="125" height="125"></td>
<td><font size="+1" face="georgia" color="blue" >Your Friends all Agree <br><font size="+2" color="red"><b>You Suck at Poker</font> </b><br><font size="-1" color="blue">Practice Online------> get an extra $600 when you deposit money</font></font>
<td><a href="javascript:{opener.document.location.href = 'http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/?key=MDAwMDBCMkMwMDAwMjJGNzIwODA4MDYxMDAwMDA4NDA-';window.close();}"><img src="http://i.fulltiltpoker.com/images/aff/learn/LEARN_PI-CF_125x125.gif" alt="play online poker" width="125" height="125" border="0" ></a>

Sorry, I can't help you with IE7, I uninstalled my Vista as soon as Gutsy Gibbon came out

But it should work... Anyway, it works fine in FF.
