Hi, all,
I'm using CreatePopup and Show methods to show popup menus, which users can make selection and take them to other pages - this part is successful.
Now, I need to do the same, except when user clicks an item, it will open a document (pdf, doc or xls). I am trying to use something like this:onClick="window.open('document.pdf','','width=950,height=600')". And it is not doing anything, except giving me a script error message, "not implemented'. What did I do wrong? I have no problem opening a document when I don't use the popups.
Thanks.

I do not believe you can re-size Acrobat Readers window like a regular pop up window. You simply need a target="_blank" inside a regular anchr tag:
<a href="path/document.pdf" target="_blank">

Correction, yes you can with a .pdf, it will hold the size you give it.
I had tried this with a word doc before without success. When word opens it pushes the widow size beyond for example the 500w x 500h I had previously tried. I just tried it again and experienced the same behaviours.

I thought it worked, then I realized I used onClick="parent.location.href='file.pdf'" to open this pdf (and spreadsheet) file, that's why I posted and deleted the second post.
Although, I might still with parent.location.href, but I hope to use window.open so that I can have more control, and it still doesn't work on me, how do you do it? Onclick="window.open(.....)"?
And I used the example from Microsoft site about popup object, so I am using <DIV onClick="..."></DIV>, instead of <A>.

Update: I made it work by using parent.window.open, instead of just window.open. The document needs to be opened on the parent of the popup menu, not on the popup menu as my codes were trying to do.
Thanks for the help.
