The capabilities are already built into the openNewWindow() function. The 4th parameter (winConfig) is an additional string of comma-separated window attribute settings that get passed to the window.open() method. You're already using it to set scrollbars=yes. If you want to set additional options, simply add them to the string, separating each option from the next with a comma. For example, if you want to make your new window so that it isn't resizable, you'd include resizable=no in the string, like this:

Code: Select all

"News","javascript:openNewWindow(\"news.htm\",310,350,\"scrollbars=yes,resizable=no\") onbackcolor=55bbff;offbackcolor=ff0000;",,"PopUp News",1

There are many references to the javascript window.open() method on the web, where you can find out what other window attributes are available and what their possible settings are. Here is a good place to start.

Hope that helps,
