I don't have the answer for this myself, but there are loads of sites that

will teach you about javascript and giveaway bits of code. 


For a definitive introduction and reference for javascript 1.3 go to:

http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/js/client/jsguide/index.htm


Some good tutorial sites are:

Yeah, this does require javascript. To launch a pop-up from an html page go

and read:

or

To launch a pop up from Flash go and read:

or

or

All these articles give slightly different methods, but the code is actually

quite easy to understand. Only by learning javascript will you find the one

thats best for you!
