So, you don't want to learn it you just want us to hand feed you the answers?

Sorry bud, things don't work like that around here. Besides, trying to use javascript when you know nothing about it will only cause you and us hours of greif while we try and explain what you have to do cause your "simpl version above" is only about 20% of the code needed to make it all happen. But if you bothered to even skim through that tutorial you'd already know that. So do yourself a favour, put in a little effort and if you still having problems then I'm sure you'll find people here more than willing to help.

Ok I read the tutorial and to be honest it explained a lot about image javascripts for opening windows and such but honestly, I'm the type who needs someone to explain it to me personally.. It turns out the following code IS the whole code (if I heard something correctly) for opening up an entire window with a prefixed size:

<a href="javascript:PopupResume('gregmartin', 380, 450, 'gregmartin', 'gregmartin')">RESUME</a>

However I am having troubles understanding certain areas of it:

javascript:PopupResume
'gregmartin', 380, 450, 'gregmartin', 'gregmartin'

Now I know the numbers are the size of the window but I dont understand how to LINK to the actual webpage. Can someone explain this to me please?

it is NOT in fact the whole code.

the rest if it is in the header and looks like this

function PopupResume(url, width, height, title, name)

{

	var url_str = "resume/" + url + ".html";

	var open_str = "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=" + width + ",height=" + height;

	new_window = window.open(url_str, name, open_str);

}

He has a little short hand here where he's making the url
/resume/gregmartin.html

I see well sorry for my idioticy, I think I mis-understood that in that tutorial then. I for the most understand what you just showed me but I again, dont understand the following code and how to direct it to WHERE I want it to be used..

<a href="javascript:PopupResume('gregmartin', 380, 450, 'gregmartin', 'gregmartin')">RESUME</a></p>

alright back up doc. Did you read the tutorial about how to pop up a window? Because I'll bet a bunch that this line:

<a href="javascript:PopupResume('gregmartin', 380, 450, 'gregmartin', 'gregmartin')">RESUME</a>

was not in the tutorial. Because it's a refrence to a function that they made specifically for this site. (Not very well done either there's no damn reason to be sending "gregmartin" 3 times).

Now going back to that tutorial how did it say to open a window? Something like this?

<a href="http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/"   

  onClick="window.open('http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/', 

  'myWin', 'toolbar=yes, directories=no, location=no, status=yes, menubar=no, 

  resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes, width=500, height=400'); return false"

  >web page tutorial in the universe</a>

Now try replacing his URL with yours and see what happens

Thanks that makes sense to me....... Thanks man for explaining it... I was getting one thing, and another and trying to make sense is something I have a hard time doing, I owe you one...

I would recommend also using the "this.href" style of syntax, to save repetition.

ie. a href="www.example.com" onclick="window.open(this.href,'myWindow','width=640,height=480,toolbar=no')" etc.
