Well, I know how to open up a new window... As long as I'm using Photoshop. :rolleyes:

But a smaller window.... I'm not sure... At all....

java script is needed so when you have the function open window you also set the options for the window including the size. other then that you let the user control the size.

just by giving the link a target to load in which is just the page number it is to look for, best to make it look for a number that you are sure nobody would have on the site or you would not put on a site, like 99873377722229000333444555HHH333
that is a huge amount of windows to have on the site, when it cant find that window it will open a new one.

but that is limited by the user's browser settings controling the size.

there are other ways of controling the size of the same browser when you dont load a new window just load a new page in the same browser window. but then you need to also make sure you use a code to return it to the users orginal setting or people wont come back to your site and avoid it like the plauge.
