Assuming by pop-up window you mean you are using window.open(...);you can usewindow.open("...", "...", "top=100,left=100");to position the window 100px from the top and 100px from the left edge of the user's screen.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/open_0.asp for a full explanation.

1) "top" and "left" are MSIE specific. If you want this to work in Netscape you will need to use "screenX" and "screenY".
2) In one of the Opera modes, the new window will open relative to parent, not relative to the screen.

The reference for opening a window in Netscape Javascript 1.3:
http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/reference/window.html#1202731
You can also move the window after it is open usingmoveTo(x, y);See http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/reference/window.html#1202631 for Netscape, and http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/moveto.asp for IE.
Perhaps someone else can elaborate on Opera, etc.

But not as of JavaScript 1.3 (http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/reference/window.html#1202731).

Ok cool thanks! I assumed that's waht it was but wasn't sure.
OK how would i center it on the screen?
In VB it would be like
top=screen.twipsperpixelY /2
left=screen.twipsperpixelX /2
but not sure what the functions are in JS
thnaks!:D

Center of the screen?
window.moveTo(screen.width/2, screen.height/2);

sheesh...
you are right!
here's another way:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function onload(){
var wide = screen.width/2;
var high = screen.height/2;
window.moveTo(wide,high);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="onload()">
</body>
</html>

hmm... I am using this function
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
window.moveTo(screen.width/2, screen.height/2);
}
The problem is it moves the window that has the link instead of the popup window it is creating....
I tried this...
<a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('includes/2003mail.php?ID=<?php Print $ResultArray[VehicleID]; ?>','','width=435,height=420,top=screen.height/2,left=screen.width/2')">Interested in this Vehicle?</a><br>
But that just set the coordinates to 0,0
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
window.moveTo(screen.width/2, screen.height/2);
}

Ok cool it's moving the right window now! Thanks.
The problem is it centers the top left corner of the window on the screen instead of the center of the window on the center of the screen.
The code needs to take into account window hieght and width and divide them in half.
example:
window.moveTo(screen.width/2-window.width/2, screen.height/2-window.height/2);
but that doesn't work...

No doubt top and left were I specific.Not anymore though.
For the record Charles....you have mentioned on these forums a tonnes of times that <=NS4.7 is only used by a meagre 3% of the Internet browsing people...And you recomend people yourself to do not worry about that browser any more...on the same issue you say that it matters if top and left were or are IE specifci.?
To me it sounds contradictory....:-)
For the record....there are allots of things that have been adapted in NS6+ browsers from IE....top,left innerHTML are to name a few...
On a very personal note:
I think if I write my code today that works perfectly in NS6+ using standard DOM1 and CSS1, I think I seriously don't have to worry about IE or any other browsers..cus 99% of the time my code will work with all generation6+ browsers.
:D

Khalid, fair enough. Tis true, it's no great loss if the child window isn't positioned according to the web author's desire. The bigger problem is that Opera gets it wrong sometimes. pera has two different interface modes. WIth the mode that works like MSIE, where new windows open up in OS, there is no problem. But with the mode that works like Excel, where new windows open up within the application, positioning is understood as relative to the application. I would suggest that one use something more like if (navigator.appName != 'Opera') child.moveTo(x,y).

cool that works dave. It's acting kinda wierd though. It like showing in the left corner and then disapearing then reapearing in the center of the screen briefly looking as though it is loading the page that called it then it loads the page it's supposed to.
In other words it works but it's real flickery and not so elligant looking.
Using the top,left properties in the directly in the onclick event works much more smoothly as it's not drawing the window then closing it then redrawing it again.
is there anyway to do it like this?
<a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('includes/2003mail.php?ID=<?php Print $ResultArray[VehicleID]; ?>','','width=435,height=420,top=(screen.height-420)/2,left=(screen.width-435)/2')">
