    Code:
    How does a <a href='http://intranet/FAQS/[FAQ item].htm' onclick= "return new_window('http://intranet/FAQS/[FAQ item].htm');" target= "test ">[FAQ Item]</a> work?
    I copied and pasted, then used the new link. I don't know how to Javascript. I'd like this window to fit all the text inside. (The original did. But it was also a much shorter block of text.) What variables do I need to put in there to do this?

    It depends on what the text is inside of.
    For example, if use a paragrapg for text and set the width of the paragraph to 500 px, then the new window must be at least 510 pixels to accomodate the text as well as window borders, wider if need to use a scrollbar.

    If the text container has no witdh set then the text will scale and wrap to fit the window.

    This javascriipt will open a window to the set dimensions:

    Code:
    <a href= "#" target= "_blank" onclick= "javascript:window.open('name-of-page.html','location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,width=510,height=350'); ">CLICK HERE</a>
