Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you want to popup window to behave like a modal dialog box. I can't think of any standard javascript/HTML construct that would allow that, short of using alert() to pop up a modal dialog box, but that's not going to help you. Has anyone seen or built a web app with this kind of functionality? -Dan On Monday 22 October 2001 16:47, you wrote: > It is an indexed link.
