Ducati Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: in your head Insane since: Feb 2001	posted 07-18-2001 21:20 ok.. this is starting to piss me off. This is what I am trying to do.. On www.simplifiedesolutions.com on the bottom of the page I have a link to "Terms and Conditions" (it's not linked right so it won't work) now... what I want to do is when you click on it it will open a new browser window about 500 by 480 without navigation buttons. The content that should be in this window is here How the ^%$# can I do that? I tried all kinds of stuff. Even guru's Window.open generator. Can't get it to work!!! Someone explain this to me please... Thank you
