Alrighty then,

i have a java problem and can't find anywhere to get this answer answered. I want to allow someone to click on a link, then allow a banner to pop-up but have the page they clicked on go to the site originally intended. This is very simple from what i understand.

you can just do

<a href="http://oringinally-intended.com" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('theURLofPopUp.html','AdPopup','width=700,height=400')">Click here!</a>

you have to create a javascript function before this takes place... this is from dreamweaver in opening new browser windows:
(try putting this inside the (head)(/head) in html)

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
</script>

later

If I understand your question, I think you probably want to call the popup with an unload event in the body tag, thus:

<body onunload="javascript:popWindowFunction()">

like forcing someone to click on a banner and the banner pops up and the page goes to whereever it needs to go

i don't know about the forcing part, but

if you want the popup to come up and then the link takes you to whatever, then try my way.

but, if you want the page to go wherever and THEN the popup to come up, use etLux's way.

its practically the same, if you are talking about popups.

Oops, I thought this was the one forcing the horizonatal scroll hee hee. Must look closer next time.

I think maybe we're not understanding the question clearly.

By the way, I feel compelled to add... this is JavaScript -- not JAVA.

Well the same thing to me, Jscript and so on. Like MS-dos and IBM dos

Java is not the same as JavaScript. JavaScript has given a bad name to Java. JavaScript was originally developed by Netscape for Navigator 3 to provide pages that were dynamic. The syntax was "barely" similar to Java, Netscape licensed the use of the word JavaScript and it was sort of a joint thing from then.

Simple. Great minds are at work, and needed the extra space.
