pop up window centered

Guest

guys, for the longest i was trying to figure out how to open up a new window
as a fully functioning pop-up. I finally figured out that i have to go to
behaviors, and give the link an "open browser window" command. Well, it works
and all, but i really wanted it to open up into the center of the screen, and
not in the top right,top left sometimes, or wherever it feels like. (its
always different) ..can anyone help?

and as long as were on the topic, if you were to mouse over this new link i
created,( through the BEHAVIORS panel) the arrow dissapears....theres no
little hand icon, its just a small little line, not even a cross-hair. This
is so frustrating... Why does frontpage have so many glitches it seems. This
sucks cause a viewer can be confused when a link says "enter," yet when you
rollover it, theres no little hand. Can anyone be of any assistance - it
would be greatly appreciated.

Re point 1.
Download Spawn from Jimco
http://www.jimcoaddins.com/Default.aspx
It installs in FP and there is an option for centering

Re Point 2.
I can't really advise here as I am no expert. But I find that the anchor tag
causes a hand to appear as default
i.e. something like <a href="about.html">About Us</a>
Does your HTML code looks like this?

If not a style of
a:link{cursor:hand} should work. Experts - please correct me if I am wrong

try the spawn plugin - creates a popup window opened by "onload" or
"onclick" events.

Trevor:

Not getting the pointer means that the event handler has been applied to
some page element OTHER than an anchor tag (like a font tag or a paragraph
tag, for example - neither of these should really have events applied to
them at all). If that's the case, then your recommended band-aid will fail.

It's much better to solve these issues by repairing the root problem (i.e.,
make sure that your event handler is properly applied) rather than by
masking it with another potential problem (i.e., your solution).

The answer would be to look at the code and see how to fix the misapplied
event.
