Popup windows from Dropdown box

Ian Hubling · Jul 18, 2004

I've spent hours adapting various scripts from this forum, but haven't
been able to make anything work yet. Any help would be appreciated.

What I want seems simple - which is why I can't believe I can't find
it in the archives.

I want to create a simple dropdown - so that selecting any item will
force a popup window to appear. I need to control the size and
atributes of the popup window (ie the popup window will show sample
colors / patterns of a product).

Thanks.

Do you want the popup to open a pre-existing page or do you want to
write to a new document?
The script will differ greatly depending.

I'll assume you're opening an already existing document, as that's much
easier.

Watch for word-wrapping.
