trying to click on an link and open a new window

[kackey21]

Ok, so I want to be able to click on a link and then have the page open in a new window. Now, I know how to do that with dreamweaver, but what I really want to know is how to make that window "clean", meaning I dont want the real-estate of my monitor to be all cluttered with a browsers interface. I know you can do it, but I cant figure out how you can do it with Dreamweaver.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance!

The simplest way is to simply apply a behavior to it. You can choose to open a url with a new browser and you can set it so it opens as just a window without all the 'stuff'

I have been trying to do this as well. I am using Dreamweaver 4 and have not been able to figure out why I cannot get a link to open a new browser window 'onClick'.

In fact, the very first place I looked was in 'behavior'. I notice that when I select 'open a new browser window' it does not give me the option for 'onClick' ..it just gives me 'onMouseOver'.

any help is appreciated!
thnx. I HATE BEING A NEWBIE!

I ended up using behaviors to do it. It work ok, most of the time but I do find that it does some freaky stuff now and then when you click on the link. would like to hear more about your special script that you use unicorn11. Thanks to all that responded.

}

</script>


/******************/
