HTML Help

Need help with my website. Any techies out there with basic HTML.

How do I open a link in a new window without an address bar appearing and no bar at the bottom showing the address of each link as you point to it??

Sorry for the non tech speak!

Thanks

    The only thing I would say is that you cant really override a users browser without
    upsetting the user all I do is just set the target frame/link to a blank so that the link
    is opened in a new window and not the same window.

    target="_blank"

    Apart from that I dunno :beer:

    You need a JavaScript window to do it.

    I'd refer you to the JavaScript reference page but this link
    will suffice for now.

    This should work, put the javascript in the head and change the parameters of the link:
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
    function meclive(URL,Name,features) !!
    window.open(URL,Name,features);
    }
    </script>
    </head>

    <body>
    <a href="#" onClick="meclive('Page.html','','width=500,height=500')">hello
    </a>
