Hi
Can someone tell me how to put a link in a pop-up so that when it is
clicked the main page changes to that link? I am sure this can be
done.

Gaffer said:That script gives me an error on page with IE. I'm not sure it's what I
want. I have a pop-up window which has a form on it to sign up to a
newsletter. So I want people to either sign up to it, or click a link that
says 'read more'. So when they click that link I don't want the pop-up
window to change, but the main page behind that, the full size page to
change. Is that possible?
JD said:What does the visitor do then? Drag the popup out of the way so they can
read the page behind? That sounds annoying. It would make more sense to
have the form on the main page and then have the 'read more' content in a
popup, or better yet avoid the use of popups entirely.
They simple close the pop-up, it's only a tiny pop up (250px by 130px) so it
won't be a problem...

It'd be cool if the 'more info' link changed the main page to more
info and closed the pop-up. In an ideal world that's what I would
like.

In an ideal world, there would be no pop-ups.
