I would like to put a link on our site that when clicked on it opens a new
browser window. I know how to do this part but I would also like to have the
size of the window a little smaller than normal and not be able to be
maximized by the user.
Can anyone tell me how this could be done?

Thanks.
Shane.
 
You can use the FP addin "Spawn" from www.jimcosoftware.com

Thank you Tom.
I downloaded the add in and read through the readme document and it looks
like it till work great........if I could get it to work.
I downloaded the add in and it seemed to work. When I open a page in FP,
select some text, go to the tools menu and select addins I see Spawn there
but in the load behavior it says :not loaded- a runtime error occured during
loading".
I am running Vista and am not sure if that is causing the problem? Do you
know much about it or should I contact them directly?

Thanks again.
Shane.
 
It may not work on Vista...you can contact Jimco on their contacts page.

Tom,
I have sent an email asking about the Vista compatibility and have not heard
back yet. I am guessing that is the problem I am having?
I am thinking I just need a little Java code to do this as well, although I
really would like to use the Spawn tool....
Do you have any ideas on where I could find the code to do this as well, or
any other ideas?

Thanks for all your help.
shane.
 
I'm not sure why that addin wouldn't work as it generates standard
javascript - and javascript depends on the browser more than the
O/S.....(??)
However the possibility is there, but the system requirements only mention
the version of Frontpage, nothing about possible anomalies with newer
operating systems.

If you use FP2003, there is a behaviour (under Insert > Behaviour I think)
that generates the popup window - in the same way as the Spawn addin, but
not quite so comprehensive; you could try that.

Also there are several websites that have a "popup window generator" (Google
this term) that generates the code, so it's a matter of copy and pasting the
code to your pages.

FYI *Java* is not javascript, and requires a third-party browser plug-in.
