Link that will open HTML page, fixed...

Janys (or anybody at Coffee Cup who can help):

Five and a half years later, I'm looking for exactly the same thing: I want a link that will open an HTML page in a small, fixed size window. I'd like that window to be a dead-end, i.e., no way out except to return to the parent page. If that means a pop-up, that's OK with me, but I don't know how to do that either.

I copied and pasted the code in Janys' original response,
http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/publica … er-window/
changing only the URL in the <a tag, and can't seem to get it to work. IE insists that it "cannot display the webpage". Incidentally, the href= string is shown in IE's address window when that message is displayed. I tried this with the "nojavascript..." as shown in the original example and with "javascript:" as shown in a later example. Both got me the same (bad) result.

Try this...

<script type="text/javascript">
// Popup window code
function newPopup(url) {
popupWindow = window.open(
url,'popUpWindow','height=700,width=800,left=10,top=10,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=yes')
}
</script>
<a href="nojavascript...newPopup('http://www.yourlink.com');">Open a popup window</a>

Open the txt file below. The forum is messing with the code. Take the code in the txt file and try this. :) Just looked and Janyes code has the same error.
