Open new window without using JavaScript

Defining parameters for opening a new window without using JavaScript

Hi!

I am new to this forum & have searched the library & couldn't find an answer to this question.

Can I open a new window from a link (hotspot on image map) and control the window parameters such as size, location & appearance without using JavaScript?

I want to open small "information" windows from an image map and control their size, location & the appearance (no toolbars etc). I have searched & searched, but I haven't found this answer. I found this site by searching for for a solution. Seems like a good forum.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], martin_uboo.

For what you want to do, using Javascript is the only way. Without Javascript, the only thing you can do to specify a new window is to use target="_blank" on a link - but that only opens the page in a full-size window.

Thank you encyclo for your prompt reply. No wonder I couldn't find a way to do it without JavaScript.

Could you or anyone recommend a JavaScript that would work from clicking on an image map link. Although I wasn't looking for a script to do this, all the ones I came across, in my searching, were for "pop up" windows triggered by a page load.

Thanks again.
