I am designing a billiards website and I would like to have a definition pop-up for each term I use in case the user doesn't understand. I don't want a full screen to pop-up for a small description, though.

How can I make a pop-up in a new window that is only a certain width/height?

Thanks in advance to all who help me.

Try this out.

http://javascript.internet.com/generators/popup-window.html

<!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL POPUP WINDOW:

1. Paste the first into the HEAD of your HTML document
2. Use the code to open the popup page on your site -->

<!-- STEP ONE: Copy this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=200,height=200,left = 476,top = 332');");
}
// End -->
</script>


<!-- STEP TWO: Use the following link to open the new window -->

<A HREF="javascript:popUp('yourfile.html')">Open the Popup Window</A>

Don't pop ups take away from google page ranking? If I put a popup on my main page would it?
