an easy question (I think)

[RBonzo]

How do I make a window pop out when the user clicks a submit button? I want the window to carry a message that I write. Thanks.

It can be done easily like this:<input type="button" value="Create Window" onclick="window.open('something.html','','height=400,width=300');" />However, I'd recommend against it since it destroys accessibility. You should consider reading through this (http://www.diveintoaccessibility.org/day_16_not_opening_new_windows.html).

I hope that helps you out.

Thanks for that response! I think I should have specified - the user will be viewing the page (written in html) within the user's e-mail window, that is: the page is embedded in the user's e-mail message. Does that change your response?

Since the only purpose of the button is to open a new window which utilizes JavaScript, you should use JavaScript to display the button...


<script type="text/javascript"><!--
document.write("<input type=\"button\" value=\"Open window\" onclick=\"window.open('page.html','window_name','width=400,height=400');\">");
//--></script>
<noscript>
<a href="page.html" target="window_name">Open window</a>
</noscript>
