How to do a "pop up"

et
I want to use a url link link to another page, opening up a second window,
no problem. Isn't there a way to control the size of that second window, so
it looks more like a popup, and doesn't cover the whole screen. Also, I
notice some popups have no toolbars, etc., only the close menu. how do I do
that?

Thanks.

You can open windows with the javascript window.open method. This includes
options for sizing the window and making various toolbars and menus
visible/invisible.
Here's more info:

Some popup blockers may foil your plans however, so consider alternate
designs.

You can also try showModalDialog(), showModelessDialog() and createPopup().
