A few questions please

Hi I wonder if anyone could help me with a few things I need to do on my site please;

1. When a visitor clicks on a link I want them to be taken to another page on my site AND a new browser window to open for another website (I know I could create pop ups) but I would rather have the 2 pages alongside each other.

2. I want to create a newsletter sign up box

3. I want to create an 'add us to your favourites' which automatically brings their favourites box up so all they have to click is "add this page".

I hope this all makes sense. Any help is greatly appreciated

1. You need to use javascript for this but no doubt pop up blockers will block it as spam

2.

Thats the form but you either need to sent the action to a mailto: so it send you the email or ideally goes directly to the database

3. This wont work in all browsers, even if it does if people have folders in their bookmarks it will only add in general, you can not create a placement option, is either marked or not.
Really using this option is like begging people to come back to yoru site, if people are interested they will bookmark it anyway

When I need to do something with Javascript I always try this site:

http://www.irt.org/script/script.htm

They've got a huge FAQ and tons of other resources. I don't know how old that information is though so it could be out of date Confused There is a whole section on javascript windows which might help you.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to open the two sites at the same time?
