link pop-up?

does anyone know how to make a like that when it is clicked it will open a new window and close itself?

I think you need to explain further, I'm not really sure what you are saying. Do you mean have a link that, when clicked, close the current window and pops up a new one?

Sure go get a javascript pop up script. Then find the template that the link is in that you want to have pop up. Add the needed code there, and then add the rest in the header as whatever the script says.

i'm sure there's a way in javascript. search for something similar inside google.com

yup google.com and alltheweb.com search

Try this: (not tested, and probably won't work)

<a href="whatever.com" target="_blank" onClick="javascript:window.close()">

But remove the space between java and script; vB adds a space automatically to stop any scripts being executed.

post here if it works... i want to see if it worked... i could probably use this also.

Hello Neo! I am very much hoping your request is for what I am thinking it is. Anyway, hopefully I will be able to help.

Try this:
In the head section:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
BODY {OVERFLOW:scroll;OVERFLOW-X:hidden}
.DEK {POSITION:absolute;VISIBILITY:hidden;Z-INDEX:200;}
//-->
</STYLE>



In the body section:

<DIV ID="dek" CLASS="dek"></DIV>

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--

Xoffset=-60; // modify these values to ...
Yoffset= 20; // change the popup position.

var nav,old,iex=(document.all),yyy=-1000;
if(navigator.appName=="Netscape"){(document.layers )?nav=trueld=true;}

if(!old){
var skn=(nav)?document.dek:dek.style;
if(nav)document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
document.onmousemove=get_mouse;
}

function popup(msg,bak){
var content="<TABLE WIDTH=150 BORDER=1 BORDERCOLOR=black CELLPADDING=2 CELLSPACING=0 "+
"BGCOLOR="+bak+"><TD ALIGN=center><FONT COLOR=black SIZE=2>"+msg+"</FONT></TD></TABLE>";
if(old){alert(msg);return;}
else{yyy=Yoffset;
if(nav){skn.document.write(content);skn.document.c lose();skn.visibility="visible"}
if(iex){document.all("dek").innerHTML=content;skn. visibility="visible"}
}
}

function get_mouse(e){
var x=(nav)?e.pageX:event.x+document.body.scrollLeft;s kn.left=x+Xoffset;
var y=(nav)?e.pageY:event.y+document.body.scrollTop;sk n.top=y+yyy;
}

function kill(){
if(!old){yyy=-1000;skn.visibility="hidden";}
}

//-->
</SCRIPT>

And finally this into your link tag:
ONMOUSEOVER="popup('Text goes here','00FFFF')"; ONMOUSEOUT="kill()"
