Hi my second question today is

Onmouseover the popup opens.
Onmouseout the popup stays.

how do i make it that if the pop is already open
Onmouseover won't open that popup again until its been closed

the script below keeps opening two windows

thanks

change your function to this:

function fred(URL) {
if (popupwin==null || popupwin.closed)
popupwin= window.open(URL,"","height=260,width=380,resizable=0, left=100, top=100") ;
}
