i'm a self taught programer, and i don't know much about anythng.
i get all my code on HTML for kids sites, and by stealing from sites i like.

anyway, on the front page of my webstie i have two link to other sites, and i want the links to open up in a new page. i've done this before - and i used that same code, but it doesn't seem to be working on my front page.

can anyone udnerstand why?

here is the code for the right side of my front page:

Code:

<HTML>
<TITLE>fishstick and so forth</TITLE>

<img src="buttons.png" width="550" height="268">

<link href="format.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<body bgcolor="660000">
<font face="your font" size="2" color="ffffff"> <b>
<br><br> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
   href=mylink;
else
   href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=800,height=600,toolbar=yes,location=yes,  resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes');

Dreamweaver has behaviors that do this for you. I looked at the code created withing DW for this function on a site I'm working on and this is what it gives you:

onClick="MM_openBrWindow('xxxx.html','','width=485,height=445')"></a></td>

This string is located immediately after the dimensions for the cell I have my image located in (which is my link to the popup window). The dimensions in the above string indicate what size you want the new window to open up as. I have no idea if this helps or not.

Your function "popup" looks ok, but unless I'm missing something you're not calling it...

Try replacing your javascript maybe...?

It sounds wierd, but the Dreamweaver code did not have any specified javascript commands in it, just the above string. I would place it right after your "link" in place of the whole javascript. Make sure to put in the appropriate url you want to call up.

First, you don't need JavaScript for this unless the new window properties are really important to you. Just put target="new" in your <a> tag. If you want to use javascript, Max is right. You're not calling popup. Replace your existing link with this:

Code:

I think that's right anyway. I hate debugging javascript.
