Javascript Popup Info Box
First off, this is my first time with Javascripting. I'm currently reading the JavaScript Bible, which has helped out tremendously, but my main goal for Java still seems unreachable.
I want to make a "Click for More Information" link simply open a preset sized windows popup with the requested information in it, and a simple "Close" link. There are so very many sites that use this feature, yet I am evidently lost in trying to implement this on my test site.
If anyone could lend a few keystrokes, I would appreciate it greatly! Thanks!

For a great window opener I recommend you this site.
For the close link you just have to place a link in the document like this one:
Close Window
('javascript' without underscores)
Hope this helps,

First off, understand that Java is different from JavaScript
For closing the window:
Close Window
For opening a new window: (I think)
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open("width=200, height=200");
</script>
Or if you want to use it many times:
<script type="text/javascript">
function fnopenwindow(winHeight, winWidth)
{
window.open("width=200, height=200");
}
</script>
Close Window
Not tested, but the close window one should work

@ Renegade:
The url-param is missing in your fnopenwindow.
Like this:
function fnopenwindow(ThePage, winHeight, winWidth){
window.open(ThePage, "width=200, height=200");
}
and:
Open window
And there are more params (see the link in my previous post)

A prefab script for opening the window: zerocattle.com/examples/popUp.html
Inside the window, you have an .html page with your information and somewhere on it make yourself a link or a button image, however you wish, and use the window.close(); scripting provided by the others in this thread.
