you cannot have a shortcut without an "exisiting page/file", the shortcut has to point to something

I found this

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> TEST DOC </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<script language="javascript">
<!--

top.window.moveTo(3000,30000);
top.window.resizeTo(1,1); open('http://www.mysite.com','blwy','width=900,height=644,sc rollbars=no,menubar=no,directories=no,status=no,titlebar=no' );window.opener=''; window.close();
-->

</script>

</BODY>
</HTML>

this is just what i needed, can anybody tell me how i can centre the window though.

Thanks

I saw some code a while ago that centered the popup window on the screen by using the viewer's screen resolution as a guide. There's probably a better way...


function openWindow()
{
var winw = (screen.width - 300) / 2;
var winh = (screen.height - 200) /2;
 window.open('http://www.yoursite.com/popup.htm','Jump','scro llbars=no,addressbar=no,height=200,width=300,left='+winw+',t op='+winh+'');
 
}

I didn't even think of opening it like regular and reformatting the window once it was open. Way to use the resources.
