Actually, that's more like what I ended up doing rather than what I tried
to start out doing. My first thought was something like this:
<script language="javascript">
var text="<html><body bgcolor=#ffffff>Hello there</body></html>";
open(text,"New
Window","toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no");
</script>
So that all the HTML was written prior to the actual window being opened.
But that didn't seem to work. I guess the first spot in the open call
(Where I have "text" above) will take a URL but not a variable that's *not*
a URL. I was wondering if there was a way around it. (There always seem to
be ways around everything with HTML/javascript, etc. Part of the reason
it's so much fun to play with.) :)
