Opening new pages

[Ashley Dene]

When I open a new page on my website, I would like to open a new page on top
of the old page, i.e on the screen, you can see the new page open, but with
smaller dimensions than the page behind, therefore when the user closes the
page on top, they can still see the original page behind. My problem is that
I have set up the site, where when the user moves to a certain page, then
they close the
page (top right hand 'X'), it shuts down the site. The only way to stop this
happening is to use the top left hand navigation buttons, i.e 'back'.
Hope I have explained this OK.
This is from a previous posting of mine, but I feel that I may not have
explained in correctly, hence the re-wording.

Do you mean a smaller window that pops up?

Add the target frame "_blank" to the hyperlink to open the new page.

Hi Louis,

Yes, I mean a smaller window, where you can see the other window behind.

Hope it makes sense.

Hi Ashley,

Hyperlink Properties Dialog Box. Right-click the hyperlink and select
"Hyperlink Properties" from the context menu.

Try the pop-up Spawn addin from www.jimcosoftware.com

In the hyperlinks dialogue go to the "Target Frame" button, then in the
Targets dialogue choose "New Window" (i.e "_blank").

This opens a new windows, but you have no control over the dimensions. Try
www.jimcosoftware.com and download the Spawn addin (which creates a popup
window). You have control over showing the title bars, menus, scrollbars,
status bar etc, and also the position of the window (using x, y coordinates)
or centering the pic on the screen.

IN FP 2003 there's a similar "Behaviour" function, and Jbots (WebsUnlimited)
has a similar product.
