Popup Link
This behavior opens a specified URL in a new window, and offers many additional features.
General features
- Specify name and appearance of popup window,
- Optionally specify the popup's location on screen,
- Optionally specify a relative popup width/height (in % of the screen).
Special features
When applied to a link, the behavior offers the option to take the 'href' attribute of the current link as its target URL. This has the following advantages:
- No more 'null' links (eg. href="javascript:;" or href="#") needed,
- XHTML Strict mode compatible,
- Originating link still works with JavaScript disabled,
- Search engines will be able to normally 'spider' the links.

New: Can now be applied to other HTML elements besides links. Furthermore, in addition to only taking the 'href' attribute of a current link, it is now possible to specify the URL to display. As such the extension can now be used more generally to create popup windows.

Well, what's there to tell?
I worked as a software engineer for a well-known Dutch software company for about 10 years. But then I decided I did not want to work there anymore. 
Since then, I've been working with my husband in our own company.
I "discovered" web development early 2000, and I soon found out that I could actually create my own extra (DHTML) features in Dreamweaver by building custom extensions.
My first extension was Cross-browser AutoScroller, but I've developed several other ones since then.

Written by Andy Laverdiere, Jr. on April 20, 2009Great job, Marja! This extension has allowed me to replace several different extensions scripts I was using prior to finding it. The greatest feature is the 'Move window to top when re-activated'. This will keep a visitor's screen clean of a ...
Thanks!

not showing all options
Written by kath human on November 15, 2004Works great! Only thing is that in Dreamweaver 4, it only shows down to the 'dreamweaver 4 attributes' section as far as seeing the first line of ticks, but no further. Also, is there a way of adding in a 'close window' button or link?
RE: Open and stay Popup Link always on top
Written by Marja Ribbers-de Vroed on June 15, 2004No, I'm sorry but I don't have a solution for that. There is a way to keep a popup window always on top, but that introduces significant issues, because other (popup) windows will more or less become impossible to access.
Open and stay Popup Link always on top
Written by Heinz Schweiger on June 15, 2004Hello Marja! I like this extension very much but I search for a possibility that the open Popup Link always stay on the top. That means if I had click another popup link, the existing popup link disappear and moves under the mainwindow into the ...
