Links in new window without menus

    Hello,

    I’m trying to create a page that has multiple links. For each link, I want you to be able to click on it and have a specific sized, no menus, no resize window pop up with the info in that window. Each link will be to different info.

    If I’m understanding my research so far, this is NOT the TARGET=”_blank” option as that only opens links in a new window, but not a predefined style window.

    I have also found some java script websites that give a nice script, but in my limited knowledge of php, WordPress, and java, I’m not sure if this will work if I have, say, 4 links to 4 different pages (each of the windows, btw, will open to pages I create that will live on my server).

    Any help would be great and most welcome!

    Thanks so much!

    Have I stumped the gurus? 🙂

    Seriously, is there anyone out there who can help me or at least point me in the right direction?

    Thanks so much.

    Many of the people who help out in these forums are web standards afficiandos. From the accessibility standpoint new windows are a no no. Fortunately for many of us the perennial irritation of them disappeared with tabbed browsers, and web standards. Guys just do not use them. And they are reluctant to help folk who do because they believe they are A Bad Thing. Are the gurus *stumped*? Unlikely I would think?

    Thanks Root. I guess I need to rethink how I’m going to do this. I assume by accessibility, you mean 508 compliancy? I never thought about that, but yea, I’d like to be as compliant as I can…no reason not to be.

    You can do that, but if you do, its nice to use a solution that degrades gracefully. My login/registration thing opens in a small popup window (js enabled) but also opens in a regular fashion if the user doesnt have js enabled.

    The only way to do what you suggest is javascript. Simple as that, really. It’s pretty easy actually. Google for “new window javascript”.
