<map> tag and controlled popups...

[karmic]

Got a problem that just escapes me...

I'm doing some test work on a simple site that uses a full jpg for every different page. Using the map tag for button coordinates. I want to put in a site search thru a popup window... Is there a way to have a new controlled popup window within the map tag?
No problem to get a new window

area shape="rect" coords="0, 58, 141, 88" href="search/form.html" target="_blank"

but I need to control the actual size and position. Remove the search buttons and what not to gain a clean popup window on the click of a button.

Been toying with javascripting but I can't seem to get it to work within the <area> and <map> tag.

Thanks...

Check this FAQ from the JavaScript Forum: faq216-329

I used a function on a site to open a window from a click on an image map, here is a snippet:

Function:

<script language=javascript type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
	<!-- Hide script from old browsers
        function newWindow(portgif) {
	portWindow = window.open(portgif, 'portWin', 'width=285,height=450,scrollbars=yes, right='+rightPos+' ,top=0')
	portWindow.focus()
	}
	rightPos=0
	if (screen) {
		rightPos=screen.width-225
		}
	//End hiding script fom old browsers -->
	</script>

Map Code:
<map name=&quot;faceMap&quot;>
<area href=&quot;javascript:newWindow('bios.htm#joann')&quot; title=&quot;JoAnn&quot; shape=&quot;circle&quot; coords=&quot;131, 32, 23&quot;>
<area href=&quot;javascript:newWindow('bios.htm#charlie')&quot; title=&quot;Charlie&quot; shape=&quot;circle&quot; coords=&quot;168, 70, 23&quot;>
<area href=&quot;javascript:newWindow('bios.htm#christa')&quot; title=&quot;Christa&quot; shape=&quot;circle&quot; coords=&quot;52, 113, 26&quot;>
