I am very new to javascript -- please don't hurt me ! :-)

I am trying to put a pop-up on a webpage. I used the script generator at http://javascriptkit.com/popwin/index.shtml and pasted the script into the BODY of a test page on the web.

<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,status,")
}

openpopup()

</script>


I pasted script into a web page per instructions, but when I go to the page, the pop-up only contains a 404 error "The page cannot be found". My browser is IE6.

What am I doing wrong?

Please advise. Thanks,

Tucson

did you upload "thankyou.htm" to the server? the page you are trying to popup has to be online as well, otherwise it is just like trying to go to a page that doesnt exist.

Thanks--I think I've got it now. The directions said, "Simply copy the generated code into the <BODY> section of your webpage, and you're done!" I thought I was done!

They neglected to mention that I have to create a whole additional webpage with the desired content--the implication was that I could just type the content I wanted between the quotes in the script.

Of course, I was trying to figure this out around 5 AM--which probably didn't help.

Thanks again for your timely advice!
