Target="_blank"

not working in my browser

[LateNight]

I am not too sure what I did , but my browser is now showing _blank as a full page - not a small window. Any ideas as to what I did and how to get it back? IE

Hmmm, the target="_blank" only opens a new window, it does not determine the size of it. IE will open a window in its last state. For example, if you had an IE window maximized and then click on a link that spawns a new window, that window will be maximized. Or at least that's how I think it works. ;)

Weird - target="_blank" used to open a window about half the screen size - spawned from a maximized window. I have used the command on some thumbnails and prefered the half window. That command used to work with my browser, but now it spawns a maximized screen. Is there a non-js command that will create the half-screen window?

The windowspawned by target=_blank is the size of the last PopUp window. I think that PopUps change the default IE window size. I don't know how to do it manually but I think that's what You should try to do.

are you concerned about how it works in your browser or in other people's browsers?

If in yours, just resize the window to what you want and hold down the shift key while you click on the "x" to close it. It should open the next time in whatever size you closed it.
If you are concerned about what your site visitors will see, you have to set your pop up using javascript or something to size the window. Otherwise it will show up in their browser in whatever size they have it set for.

luck,
