I want a pop-up window to appear when a user clicks on a link. This window will contain a code that is specific to that link. So, user clicks on link and is taken to external site, PLUS pop-up window opens. Reason is that I want to make sure users go to the site using my link, so I don't want them to have the code unless they click on the link. Possible? Ideas? I currently have link opening in a frame that showed the code at the top, but have just discovered that some sites will not work like that. Some merchants can't use a basket whilst in a frame and another simply skips immediately out of the frame so the user doesn't see the code.

The link would be an onclick to a javascript function. www.google.com/search?hl=en...en+two+windows&btnG=Search

Hai - it sort of works in that it opens a new window :-) The problem I am having is that I can't get the new window to show the code. All I get is the actual fieldname so the window is just not relating to wsnlinks. (see attached) The current code I have is.... <a href="link.php?id={LINKID}" {EXTERNALLINKS} onclick="window.open('http://www.freewebbargains.com/index.php?id={LINKID}& custom=yes&TID=couponcode','newwin');">{LINKTITLE}</a> I have tried numerous different urls to open the new link, either they didn't work or just produced this same result Attached Files: freeweb.jpg (30 KB, 191 downloads)

Or what about maybe switching the 2 codes? Put the new window code in the href and the link in the new window. Does that work by chance?

It is obviously the index.php?id={LINKID} that is incorrect, but I am not sure what else to use other than the index.php

If so then the link would be index.php?custom=yes&TID=custom-page, where page is the name of the custom template.

I had put just id instead of linkid - all works great now
