Open set size window from embedded email

[Sean Berry]

I have a news video that I am sending out for a client. There are embedded
links to flash movies in the email.

I want the popup to be a set size (400 x 400). I am currently using the
following code, but the popup window is not 400 x 400, it is whatever the
browser size was last time it was opened. How can I set the absolute size
from within this email?

Thanks.

Probably there is no script enabled in the email client so that the link
is simply opened. Just a guess, but generally don't expect script in
HTML emails to work.

How about... having a link in an email open a browser window... that page
opens a popup, then closes itself, leaving only the popup?

Any suggestions on code to open the popup automatically, then close the main
window?

Thanks...

I figured most of this out....

My only problem now is that when the code executes to close the window, in
IE on Win, it wants you to confirm closing the window.

Anyway to bypass this? It works great in IE on Mac.

This is a "trick" used to avoid the dotted outline around links. However, using
this "trick" removes the possibility of using anything other then a mouse to
activate the link. Doing it with "this.blur()" is a bad design. Removing the
focus indicator at all is a bad design, but if you insist on doing it, the way
you are doing it should be replaced by:

<head>
<style type="text/css">
a:focus {
-moz-outline: none ! important;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function hideFoci() {
var a;
if (document.getElementsByTagName) {
a = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
} else if (document.all && document.all.tags) {
a = document.all.tags('a');
}
if (a && a.length > 0 && typeof a[0].hideFocus != 'undefined') {
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
a[i].hideFocus = true;
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="hideFoci();">

onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'video','400','400',' no','center');return"
href="http://www.buildingonline.net/client/archwood/ht_high.htm"
false>Launch Home Time Video for Broadband, Cable, DSL,
I'm not sure why you've included an attribute of the <A> tag called "false" on
this link. I think you might have been modifying code and in fact meant:

onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'video','400','400',' no','center');return false;"
href="...">Link text...

(ie - move the word false from it's position as an attribute of the <A> tag to
be the value returned by the onclick event)
etc.</A></TD></TR>

Remove the onfocus event handler and move the "false" for this link as well.
