Opening a Link to vBchat in a New Smaller window

I have a link to my vBchat section on a seperate page. How do I make this link open up the chat into a seperate smaller window, instead of the full screen one it does by default.

In your Admin Templates, you changed a few, one of them being "navbar". Go back into your control panel, Styles & Templates, Style Manager, select "Edit Templates", expand all "[<< >>]", go back to modify the "navbar" template.

The code you added should've been:

return false;
}

-->
</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a></td>

take that out and substitute instead:

var ws = screen.width*0.85;
var hs = screen.height*0.7;
var winParms = "height=" + hs + ",width=" + ws + "directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars= yes,status=no,toolbar=no,resizable";
vBChat = window.open('vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]','vBChat',winParms)

return false;
}

-->
</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]"

In the above, you will see "var ws = screen.width*0.85;" and "var hs = screen.height*0.7;" In there, Screen Width is a percentage, currently being 85% of the user's screen. Same with Height, at 70%. You can manually adjust these, like if you wanted 90% and 90% you'd use .9 and .9

Doing this will not only allow it to pop up in a smaller window, but will also allow it to be user resizable.

Please note in the snippet, the forum is adding a space in resizable, making it "resiza ble" I can not correct that in my post, but it needs to be corrected before you insert it in the navbar template.

Thank You!

Or, you can just make it open in a new window/tab by taking out the javascript and replacing the onclick function with target="_blank" in the links to it.
