Nevermind, I just saw why -------> ("")freepicks.html"

had an extra (")

Suzanne, don't mean to bother you but I tried to see if it would also work for text links and it did except for this: Instead of the page changing and going to to one I assigned (freepick.html), it goes to my home page. Why is that?

I used the same one you gave me but took out the banner code and put the text instead:

Today's free pick

Also want to thank mmi

Yes I do know how to upload using my WS_FTP, hard to believe huh?...lol

I uploaded the popup.js and now is working!

You are a class act, thanks a lot for all your help. I will gladly pay it forward!!

I wish nothing but the best to you and your love ones!!!

oh boy. do you know how to use WS_FTP to connect directly to your website? Just like an .html file, you would upload the popup.js file.

I downloaded the popup.js to my computer and I know how to upload that from my desktop (right click on the shorcut icon & upload using my WS_FTP Upload Wizard) but how do I go about uploading that script <------- probably dumb question but what can I say...lol

The code looks fine, so you may want to upload that script, eh?

http://www.picks2play.com/popup.js <-- 404

Download this and save it as popup.js to your own server:

http://www.zerocattle.com/scripts/popup.js

THEN it will work.

You are going to kill me Suzanne, still no pop-up window.

I created a test page, check it out: http://www.picks2play.com/testpage.html

View the source and please tell me what I did wrong or what I left out!

no no, you must help someone else. that's how this works. otherwise you'd just hire me.

yes, you'll need to have the JavaScript function (the one from my link?) in the head section of your page -- <script type="text/javascript" src="popup.js"></script> -- or have the script in your head tags as is --

Can you follow that without explicit direction? The function (that opens the new window) has to be in the head element.

Or you can use mmi's javascript code instead of the function. It depends on whether you'll need to do this more than once or not on your page or on your site. If you'll use it more than one, using a function is better.
