cant make button on click open a new window

[chaddu1256]

Right now I have a button that is linked to an FAQ for our website. Right now when you click on it, it opens up the faq page in the same window. We would like to make it open a new window to display the faq, preferable a popup window. Is there a way to do this? The code I have for the button now is

<input name="Button" type="button" onClick="MM_goToURL('parent','ChangeMe/new_member-signup_help.htm');return document.MM_returnValue" value="Click Here">

I tried changing where it says 'parent' to 'blank' but that doesnt work. Any help would be great.

maybe wrap it in <form></form>?

AAhh! the wonders of allowing something else to write your code! When it doesn't do what you expect you won't have a clue how to change it.

Seeing as it is all MM_ crap as generated by dreamweaver try the DW forum. forum248

Indifference will be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?

The code effectively resolves to:

parent.location='ChangeMe/new_member-signup_help.htm';

I can't see any way to change your button to use the same funtion. This is a perfectly valid solution to your problem... just edit the button manually:

<input name="Button" type="button" onClick="window.open('test.html');return false" value="Click Here">

All the best,
