    Hey Tommy,

    Put this code in the <head> tag of your HTML file:
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=425,height=344');");
}
// End -->
</script>
    Code (markup):
    You can use the following code anywhere in the <body> tag to actually make the window pop up:
    
<a href="javascript:popUp('popup.html')">Open the Popup Window</a>
    Code (markup):
    In a seperate HTML file named popup.html, place your YouTube embed code. I appreciate different YouTube videos are now different sizes, so you can adjust the height / width of the popup by editing this:

    Hope this helps :)

    Not at all, you could place anything in the pop up file. Just make sure you change the width / height of the popup to suit your needs.

    Also, if you want scrollbars / menus etc..change the '0' to '1' in this bit of JavaScript:
    :)

    Hi, thanks for the code. I need this to open a tool for a visitor, not a video for them. But I'm glad it will work either way. Gottal love the DP search.

    oops, I just noticed the contributor is banned. catch u next time!


    Edit again.
    Okay, it worked great. The reason I needed to pop up the window is because the IFRAMED tool has text on it that sez something like "Your Clicks Keep Us Going". :eek: I don't want it like that.

    Here it is. :)
