[edit reason] sorry, no references to site specifics, please [/edit]

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('url_location.html', 'StatusBar', 'toolbar=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=500,height=500,left=0,top=0');" title="tool tip">link anchor text</a>

Note: Status bar text will appear on status bar rather than url but must be single word "no spaces"

variables yes or no:

toolbar=yes
resizable=yes
scrollbars=yes

variables -- adjustable:

width=500
height=500

Position to appear reference from upper left corner of browser window:

left=0
top=0

Note: Javascript - therefore search engines will not follow link.

Not sure I follow... but:

if <a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://www.group.yahoo.com/directory/page.html', 'StatusBar', 'toolbar=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=500,height=500,left=0,top=0');" title="tool tip">something to click on</a> that should serve up the page from yahoo group within the parameters specified.

However, if the other way around and link is on yahoo group and you can't access the code... nothing with help.

Hi all

Penguinsnob, It might be an idea to remove your urls from you message (against the terms of use).

>>>"...Status bar text will appear on status bar rather than url..."

The second argument of the window.open() is to name the window for programming purposes. For example, if you call it 'foo', then the next time you call window.open('page.html', 'foo', 'parameters'); the result will be sent to the already open pop-up window called foo, instead of popping up a new one. Also, if you have <a href="..." target="foo"> the result will be sent to the already open pop-up window called foo, instead of popping up a new one.

What is in the status bar depends on your browser. e.g. For Internet Explorer it is the url, for Opera it is the alt text in the <a...> tag. The second argument of the window.open() function does not change that.

Thank Shawn -- obvously you are correct.

Funny how we forget things, and their true reason for existing. :)

How can I remove the link from the post? I can't find "edit post" button sort of speak. I was thinking since Yahoo group won't allow any code in the post, I thought I have to post a link to a page (.html) that runs an inline script that calls function which pop up a page with desired content...

Thank you for the help!

The edit button automatically disables after about 2 hours.
