Don't know if HTML or Javascript is the problem

I have been using DW for a long time and mixing some flash in many sites
before, so I can say I am a designer but I am not en expert with HTML nor Java
so I guess I got lucky until know cause so far they always worked (until now).
Almost everybody I sent the link can't see The Site.
The problem: I don't know where to start, maybe somebody can see the website
and tell me. http://www.pasional.jaztell.es/ (this is where the files are at)
and I have this redirected from www.tangopasional.net and com.
I work in mac and I don't have any problems seeing it.. I am organizing a
Tango Festival in less than two weeks and I need people to be able to see the
info.
The only new thing new I am doing this time is that I wanted to have a full
black page opening behind the actual site and the site opening in front with a
800 by 465 window plain with nothing but the page, I know nowadays is a lot of
problems with pop-up windows so I search for some kind of script to do a pop
fooling the browsers and used that.
A secondary problem is that the mouse hand doesn't show in the full browser
page and I don't know if people will figure out that they have to click to
actually open the site.
The main thing is that I want people to be able to find the Festival info
right now. So I will really apretiate if someone can help and if you can go
easy on me, cause I dont know most of what I am doing.
I had try to run the site trough W3C check but it couldn't fine the website
(like a DNS problem or something like that.
Well I tried to give you as much info I can. Thanks! Charles

Java and javascript are two entirely different technologies.

That takes me to what appears to be a link farm.

Weird...that site is just a frameset that also points to the above URL.

Regardless, there's nothing on that page. Just a

That took me a while to figure out it was a pop-up window. This isn't a good
design. Pop-ups can be blocked, and I can't see a reason for you to really
have one in this case. Consider not having your site in a pop-up.

A secondary problem is that the mouse hand doesn't show in the full
browser
page and I don't know if people will figure out that they have to click to
actually open the site.

If you insist on having a popup, then you need to explain that to people
with a link that says "Click here to open this site up in a pop-up window"

You also want to have the pop-up script triggered via an A HREF tag, so you
have an actual HTML link on the page.

Sorry about Java I was trying to cut words, I see you guys take things very
seriously here.
My mistake the site is at http://www.pasional.jazztel.es/ I will apretiated if
you can take another look before we kill the idea of the "pop-up"

Convince me as to why you need one. ;o)

The issue you are having is because you haven't made it obvious to the
end-user that they need to launch a pop-up window.

As for Java vs. javascript it's like Car vs. Carrot. They're just two
entirely different words. ;o)

There are 5 copies of this function in the head of your main page:

function flvFPW1()


You would need to move the onclick events to wrapping <a> tags around
the images if you want the hand cursor to appear.

Not a single page beyond the main one will be found by any Search
Engines, given your exclusive use of javascript to open all links, and
your having the entire site content in a popup window.

Some friendly advice? Given your statement, it might be wise of you to
take the advice you have been given here and radically redo your home page.

Thanks to you both for the advice, and links
1st.- Acording to the site where I've got this (function flvFPW1()) the new
window that will open in front it wouldn't be seen as a popup, that's why I
used this methode.
2nd.- if I can get the full black page and my site centered I will do it in a
different way, I thought of working with frames or tables but I read that there
are problems with different browsers so I though this will be a safer way.
3rd.- the onclick event it's created by DW's extension for the popup window.
How do I wrap the <a> tags? can I see an example somewhere?
My site = to 3sites : the Spanish, the english and the festival's

It is a fine product, but it does use javascript to open a new window.
So yes, it IS seen as a popup. Perhaps you mean it is (unlikely)} to be
blocked by a popup blocker?

Do not use Frames for this. Centering content is not at all hard to do.
Search these Archives and you will find plenty of help. And of course
getting an otherwise black page is dead simple.

3rd.- the onclick event it's created by DW's extension for the popup window.

In the Behaviors Window, click on the dropdown for this behavior and
select the <A> choice, or somesuch depending on your version of DW.

Maybe, and thanks for the clarification.

I will search, but I thought that to center content had to be tables or frames.

Definitely not. But when you say "center" do you mean horizontal *and*
vertical center? If so, then a table may be the only way to get that - see
