I hate pop-ups.

That's not the best idea to ask for response by email, IMO. What if other forum members have a similar problem? Do you prefer that they all mail you about the solution or would you have them rather read it in the thread?

It's not so hard actually to create a popup:

window.open("popup.html");

Popup generator (http://www.javascriptkit.com/popwin/index.shtml) is where I was...I wanted on the Scrollbars option checked and a text link, but when I put it on my site, it didn't work....

<script>

//Popup Window Script

//JavaScript tutorials and over 400+ free scripts

function openpopup(){
var popurl="thankyou.htm"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=400,height=338,")
}

</script>

<a href="javascript:openpopup()">Click here to open window</a>

The code you posted above works for me in IE5.5 and Mozilla1.0. Can you be more specific on what you mean by "does not work"? Does JS give any error messages? Does a window open, but no page could be found? etc. etc.

Spikes:
You may want to simply check out the following popup window wizard: http://javascriptkit.com/popwin/index.shtml

That's what I was using...and the code I got afterwards was:

<script>

//Popup Window Script
//By JavaScript Kit (http://javascriptkit.com)
//JavaScript tutorials and over 400+ free scripts

function openpopup(){
var popurl="thankyou.htm"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=400,height=338,scrollbars,")
}

</script>

<a href="javascript:openpopup()">Click here to open window</a>

Hmmm...the code should definitely work across most browsers. If you had a link to the problematic page in question, that would make things simplier.

well it's all on a disk and the files are called indexx.htm and main.htm....I want the indexx to open a pop up of the main page...so where do I put the codes.....................

Are you telling it to open main.htm or are you leaving thanks.htm in there? Also that trailing comma after scrollbars might be problematic. If indexx.htm and main.htm are in the same directory try something like this.

<script>

//Popup Window Script
//By JavaScript Kit (http://javascriptkit.com)
//JavaScript tutorials and over 400+ free scripts

function openpopup(){
var popurl="main.htm"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=400,height=338,scrollbars")
}

</script>

<a href="javascript: openpopup()">Click here to open window</a>

Post the code of indexx.htm into your next posting, so we can take a look at it and see what's going wrong. No need in emailing members, see my other post.

Hi

winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=400,height=338,")

Uhm, there shouldn't be that trailing comma:
338,
should be
338

To accomodate NS4 put some string in between the second argument apex, or in some cases NS4 may open a fullscreen window even if you sepcified otherwise
