I want to know how to make a pop-up window (as opposed to opening in a new

You may already have the information you need but thought I would go ahead 
and share the example below.  This is the example that was taught in a 
javascript class I had this summer.  The teacher's idea was that instead of 
forcing a pop-up window on someone, you would have a submit button in a form 
if more information was desired.  When the person clicks the button, the 
window appears.  You can change the height and width in the code if it 
doesn't meet your needs.  The example follows:

<html>
<head>
<!--Ex:  Opening  a  new  window  by  clicking  on  a  button-->
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--Hide the script from other browsers
function openwin(){

window.open("todays.htm", 
"newwin","height=250,width=200,scrollbars=yes,status=yes")
}

//Stop hiding from other browsers-->
</script>

</head>
<body>

<h1>Insert  Headline</h1>
Insert  body  copy

<form>

	<input type="button"	value="More info"
	onclick="openwin()">
</form>

</body>
</html>
