you can call like this

<a href=javascript : winOpen('photos 01.html') > mylink </a>

So, again remember my ignorance, in javascript the window.open
function has basically three variables (url, name, config) and they
appear in that order so that in your "better" example since url is not
inside ' ' the function assumes that the variable, in this case the
url, will be supplied when called from a link? Just so I know what's
going on. It's easier to mess with when you know what's going on.

Thanks for the help!

I don't know that it is supposed to be ...

Actually, that's a good idea. I don't know how that will be
implemented in Flash but I'll have to do some checking & playing
around to see how to make it work.

One question: if someone doesn't have javascript enabled how will they
be able to use the page? Your HREF doesn't have a "JavaScript:... " in
it but that doesn't change the fact that it is calling a JavaScript
function, does it?

Thanks,

Mike

If they don't have javascript (or it isn't enabled) then it will act
as a normal link with a target. The page whose URL is in the "href"
attribute, is openend in a new window with the name taken from the
"target" attribute. The javascript is never executed. The only thing
that the javascript does is to add the "config" part of the window.open
call, to change the initial size and properties of the new window.
Without javascript, you just get a plain new window, but it works.

Cool.

As I was pondering how to execute that in Flash it dawned on me that I
probably won't have to worry about it. There seem to be those people
that disable everything but plain old html. So, if they're viewing the
Flash file chances are pretty good that they have javascript enabled
as well as their Flash plugin.

Thanks again,

Mike
