if you have control over the link itself you can use the code zollet suggested (or zerocattle.com/examples/popUp.html for one that's better for the user and search engines), but if you don't, you may not have the ability to do it.

If you read the url I sent you, you would see that you could make the link like this:
addChildmenuItem("javascript:popUp('http://www.hotscripts.com/',
'name of window','width=xxx,height=xxx')
","HotScripts","","");
That *should* work. xxx would hopefully obviously be the actual numbers for width and height. Remove all hard returns (only in place so the board won't scroll).

ok....i tried it...the first time i tried it verbatim (without the width and height..i figured that could set on its own, it should just be a regular window)...i got a 404...the second time, i tried it as "javascript" instead of "java script" and i got a javascript error...on line 1 character 1, and it said an object was expected...

Kyle, you don't know the first thing about JavaScript, right?
Okay:
1. The board automatically changes the word to java script so people can't put scripts up and break the board.
2. Did you put the function in your header?
3. When mixing JavaScript scripts, you may have conflicts. You must know at least a little bit to get it working.
4. You can't just leave out pieces of JavaScript. If you don't want the width, height parts, you'll still have to have and empty set ''
5. AS ALWAYS, a url where people can see where you're screwing up live is the best way to get help. SET UP A DUMMY PAGE IF YOU NEED TO.

haha...you caught me...anyways...i did catch on to the "javascript" word spreader thing...but i forgot to mention that this whole thing is a .js file...its not embedded, i have a few scripts in the header of my main .html document that calls out this script...but its not directly on the page...and i will try to setup a dummy page...we'll see what happens

I meant the script that I pointed you to -- it won't work if you don't have that function in your tags. You really should at least figure out how JavaScript works, for your own sanity, even if you don't intend to write your own scripts.
