Hi,

I'm trying to get a pop up window to appear from another pop up window. I'm using the typical window.open command, but it keeps opening the second pop up window inside the first.

Any idea how to get the second pop up window to pop up?

Thanks,

Mark

If you're using the same window name in the second pop-up, that would cause the second to replace the first in the same window. Make sure that the second pop-up function uses a differecnt window name and you should get the correct results.

Ok, in the first page where the initial pop up occurs I use this function:

function popUp(theURL,size){
evoWin=window.open(theURL,'',size);
}

In the pop up window I use this function:

function popUp(theURL,size){
imageWin=window.open(theURL,'',size);
}

I use OnClick= to in the href tag to call the function.

It still doesn't work, though. In NS4 the second pop up still opens in the first.

What am I doing wrong?

That's where the new window is named.

Simply give each link a new name inbetween those single quotes, using no spaces, and it should work.

P.S. zerocattle.com/examples/popUp.html may be of help -- better function, tutorial links, et cetera.
