target="wmc"

[epyon]

I've been trying to figure out how to open a new page by clicking on a url, and i know u can have it as target="_blank" but i want the new window to open in a specifice size. (an example is that the new window opens, being 100x200px)

I looked at the script for a site i saw this on and they had target="wmc" and so i tried it and the new window pops up but i cant figure out how to make the window a custom size, so thats what i need help with please :D

I think you new javascript to do that, not sure if its the only way but i know you can do it with js. I dont recall the script because its not one ive used before but the javascript forum may help.

epyon, this is done with JavaScript as GuitarHero mentioned. This page may interest you...

Thank you very much, (i didnt find the first link to be what i needed but the second link is what i think im looking for) any ways i have a problem

i have very little java script knowledge and so i made this code and a few others but i couldnt seem to get anything to work other then a new window poping up, i figured its pointless for me to keep trying different things so if its not to much could some one help me out with the code...



<script language="JavaScript">

function event_popup(e) {
link_popup(e.currentTarget);
e.preventDefault();
}

listen('load', window, function() {
listen('click', 'my-popup-link', event_popup);
// ... other onload statements
}
);

mlisten(
'click',
document.getElementById('my-popup-link').»
getElementsByTagName('a'),
event_popup
);

function event_popup_features(features) {
return function(e) {
link_popup(e.currentTarget, features);
e.preventDefault();
}
}

// onload...
listen(
'click',
'my-popup-link',
event_popup_features('width=300,height=800')
);

</script>

<a id="my-popup-link"
href="http://examplpe.com"
target="_blank">pop me up</a>

[Kravvitz]

Where's the code for the listen function?

The "»" means that line is wrapped to the next line, so change
document.getElementById('my-popup-link').»
getElementsByTagName('a'),
to
document.getElementById('my-popup-link').getElementsByTagName('a'),

Change
language="JavaScript"
to
type="text/javascript"

[epyon]

so then it should look like this right...

<script type="text/javascript">

function event_popup(e) {
link_popup(e.currentTarget);
e.preventDefault();
}

listen('load', window, function() {
listen('click', 'my-popup-link', event_popup);
// ... other onload statements
}
);

mlisten(
'click',
document.getElementById('my-popup-link').getElementsByTagName('a'),
event_popup
);

function event_popup_features(features) {
return function(e) {
link_popup(e.currentTarget, features);
e.preventDefault();
}
}

// onload...
listen(
'click',
'my-popup-link',
event_popup_features('width=300,height=800')
);

</script>

<a id="my-popup-link"
href="http://examplpe.com"
target="_blank">pop me up</a>


but for some reason it just still dosnt work. (this is a script compatible with Firefox right?)

[Kravvitz]

The code for the listen function is still missing. Yes, it's compatible with Firefox.

Under "The source" you need the code from the two .js files there.

Take a look at the code in the examples page (http://www.alistapart.com/d/popuplinks/examples.html) to see how to use it.
