    Do I need php script for "popup" type page?

    Greetings!

    I'm building a new site - don't have it published yet but I am a VH customer, am building with Blue Voda and it will be published on VH.

    What I want is to hyperlink a phrase and when someone clicks on the phrase I want a window to pop up with an explanation of that phrase.

    Should I use a php file to do this?

    Is there a better or easier way to make this happen and if so please point me in the right direction.

    The main this is that I didn't want them to have to go back after they read the explanation but instead just close the window.

    Thank you,

    #" onClick="window.open('http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.html', '','width=400,height=400'); return false;"

    place this in the hyperlink section when creating a link in the text

    you can adjust the size of the box above where it says 400 etc
    this is one way i find ok

          it with in the 400 X 400 as stated.

            Re: Do I need php script for "popup" type page?

            When I highlight the text and go to hyperlink it brings up the "Insert Hyperlink" box. Does the above go in the URL box?

            I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be creating a new page and changing the information in the text above or doing it in forms and creating a php?

            I pasted it into the URL box but it isn't linking me there when I try it.

            Please advise ~ and thank you both for your help.

              - yes- you would put what was posted in the URL box.

              I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be creating a new page and changing the information in the text above or doing it in forms and creating a php?
              No- There is no need for a form or php here. What you are basically doing is linking to a page and that page will be limited to 400X400 pixels. Therefore- all your text on that page must fit in the 400X400 pixel range. The text would be placed in the upper left of the page. So when someone clicks on the link- it opens the page in a 400X400 window.

              I pasted it into the URL box but it isn't linking me there when I try it.
              First make sure you can set up a regular link to your page. When you view it regularly- you will see a fulll page with all the text in the upper right corner. Now go an change the link and use the above provided code example replacing the blue sections with your web site and page info.
