hello,

1.
you can use :
window1=window. open('sera.html ','messageWindo w1','scrollbars =no,width=150,h eight=245.
top=XXX, left=XXX')
and replace XXX with the offset you want

2.
to do this you need the new window to be a dialog. ( because you can
control its model/modeless )
more info here : http://www.webreference.com/js/column90/6.html

3.
you need to do make a timer that fires after 30 seconds and call
window.close()

hope that was helpful

The 3rd parameter of window.open() contains the attributes of the newly opened window, two
of the available attributes are top and left, of course, you must realize you will have no
idea where the browser window is on the user's screen, or where the "best part of the
page" resides, so knowing you can open the popup someplace else is pointless, because you
could open the popup at 700 x 500, and it *still* might be covering the "best part of the
page" because of where the user's browser window is positioned and where he is scrolled
to.

This can't be done reliably. Some people try to make it happen with <body
onblur="window. focus();"> but that just breaks the usability of the end-user's browser.

<body onload="var t = setTimeout('win dow.close();', 30000);">

All of the above assumes you'll even be able to open the window in the first place. If
it's an unrequested popup, most browsers and many add-ons for browsers that don't support
it natively now block unrequested new windows. In a browser like Opera, you will simply
*not* be able to place the popup where you want it, and in attempting to do so, may place
it somewhere inaccessible to the user.

In general, popups are a bad idea, find another way to present the content you want the
user to see.

top=xxx xxx = the correct value for top margin betwen internal top hedge of screen
and external top hedge of popup
left=yyy same for left margin

attributes = 'scrollbars=no, width=150,heigh t=245,top=xxx,l eft=yyy';
window1=window. open('sera.html ','messageWindo w1',attributes) ;
