    Hi,
    I am just curious, but if I wanted to do a popup window for a link, say a terms etc page, and I want to use the _blank tag for a new window, can I designate the size of that window to autofit the contents, instead of a whole window opening up for only a few lines of text? Can't find it in Dreamweaver

    Seanie.

    AFAIK, you can't specify the size of a target window using HTML - only JavaScript (check out the tutorial that Seanie M posted).

    However, what you can do is specify the dimensions of the new page in the new page itself (as opposed to the page linking to it). Put the following code in between your <HEAD> tags.
    <script type="text/JavaScript">
	window.resizeTo(400,500);
</script>

    Thanks for the link yeraulone.

    And Eoin, your piece of code will be just as effective. That sounds like the one I want.

    Cheers guys!

    Seanie.
