Hey... I'm relatively new to the Java scene other than some basic programming at school and such, and I'm trying to struggle along with it... so I've got a question...

I've got a list of names. Let's say they're students in a classroom. What I want to do is have each name linked to its own biography, and I want each of them to popup. Whether it pops up in the same one window or each seperate does not matter. All I want is to have each name have its own command to popup its own biography.

I've tried to do this, and all I can seem to do is have the link popup the same one window for each name, since I can only name one file in the script properties at the top of the page.

I'm sure this is possible to do... can someone show me how?

Thanks...

One way... presuming you want all the windows to have the same parameters.
Windows will be centered with this script.
Change / insert parameters to suit such as:
menubar=yes,toolbar=no,location=yes,status=yes,
scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,directories=yes

<body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

function mkWin() {
var w = 500
var h = 400
var X = (screen.availWidth - w) / 2
var Y = (screen.availHeight - h) / 2

var popUp = window.open("","popUp","scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width="+w+",height="+h+",left="+X+",top="+Y+"")
}
</script>
<a href="rob.html" target="popUp" onClick="mkWin()">Click for Rob</a><br>
<a href="nol.html" target="popUp" onClick="mkWin()">Click for Nolan</a><br>
<a href="zoo.html" target="popUp" onClick="mkWin()">Click for Zoo</a><br>
</body>
