Hi Daniele,
Put this javascript in the <head> of your document...
<!-- * Script from HTMLHelpCentral.com - visit for tutorials, scripts,
helpful forums and more! * -->
<script type="text/JavaScript" language="javascript">
<!-- www.htmlhelpcentral.com
function winBRopen(theURL, Name, popW, popH, scroll) { // V 1.0
var winleft = (screen.width - popW) / 2;
var winUp = (screen.height - popH) / 2;
winProp =
'width='+popW+',height='+popH+',left='+winleft+',top='+winUp+',scrollbars='+scroll+','
Win = window.open(theURL, Name, winProp)
if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4){
Win.window.focus();
}
}
-->
</script>
If you want the user to be able to resize the popup window then substitute
the appropriate line with...
winProp =
'width='+popW+',height='+popH+',left='+winleft+',top='+winUp+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable'
Then in the <body> use this line as a template for a link...
<a href="somepage.html"
onClick="winBRopen('somepage.html','TITLE','320','256','yes');return false;"
title="Click here to open window">CLICK</a>
TITLE = The title of the popup window if none is specified in the popup
document.
320 = width of popup.
256 = height of popup.
yes = do you want scrollbars? (yes, no, auto).
Hope this helps
Andy
