Opening a new window

[r1012]

I know how to link to a new web page. what I want to do is provide additional information to the subject on the page the user is on. I would like to open a window without any of the extras, espessially the browser bar with the address window in it. i do not want them to be able to go to another web site from this page. I would like the window to open smaller than the page they are on so they can see both pages if they want to.

Can this be done in html or do i have to use java or something else?

Thank you

Thanks Charles that worked great. I did realize one of the windows I need was not big enough horizontally for the information, even if I increased the size of the window i need a horizontal scroll bar and have not been able to find out how to add it.

I have a couple of books on html 4.0 published in 97 or 98 but they do not have this type of info. One of the books touched brifly on addding "window" to "HERF" but not the weay you did it and nothing about a "child" or scroll bars. what would be a good book to read that teaches advance html like this?

Thanks

1 - HTML 4.0 was superseded by HTML 4.01 on 24 December 1999. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ for details. And you ought to read the simple little tutorial at http://diveintoaccessibility.org/.

2 - That's not HTML, it's JavaScript. JavaScript doesn't work at all one in ten times (http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2002/November/javas.php) so it's important to make sure that you have a working page before you start adding scripts. The best book I've come across, though, is JavaScript : The Definitive Guide by David Flanagan (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/boo...96000480&itm=1).
