pop new window

[chronic]

i need to make a pop window for my site but i also want that if i press a link on that pop window, the link goes in the main page and not another window

[mburt]

<a href="mypage.htm" onclick="window.open('mypop-up.htm')">Popup/Redirect</a>

Or the equivalent, without the main page re-direct (w/o JavaScript):

<a href="mypop-up.htm" target="_blank">Popup</a>

why is this in the flash category? use

getURL('pageURLhere', new

for flash (i think)

If the main page's window has a name, you can target it. To give a page a name:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.name='some_name';
</script>

To target it from a link:

<a href="whatever.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href,'some_name');return false;">Link Text</a>

getURL('pageURLhere', new

Because it is code that is used to write Active Script, not javascript. Active Script is the language from which Flash is compiled.
