inserting a pop up window

I'm working on a page for location/directions to a business. I'd like to put a
text link that will open up a pop-up window showing a map of its location. Id
like it if it was not a browser window but instead just a window showing a map.
How can I do this. Thank you. Jarrod

Jarrod,

Your best bet here would be to place the image of the map inside of a div
and apply a show-hide behavior to the link to show it.

Trent's suggestion is OK, except that by placing the map into a div, you add
the weight of the map to the page itself, which may not be the best
solution, depending on how heavy the page is already.

An alternate would be to use a user initiated pop-up window, which you can
get with the OpenBrowserWindow behavior in DW. Then you would create a new
page containing the map image, and use that as the target of the OBW
behavior.

Trent/Murray, Thanks very much for your replies. This is an informational site
with very few graphics-it's good to know that tip about the page weight. When
I said I'd like it to be a non-browser window, I meant that it didnt need to
have an address bar, etc... just a basic pop window that is activated upon
clicking the text link. As I understand it, if if was a mouse over the window
would disappear when the user moved the mouse off the link. I hope I'm not
making this more complicated than it is. In a nutshell, Id like to have the
user click on a text link and have a pop up window open. Would the user
initiated pop up window using the OBW behavior accomplish this? Thanks very
much. Jarrod

As I understand it, if if was a mouse over the window
would disappear when the user moved the mouse off the link.

You are in complete control of this. You would SHOW the layer onMouseOver,
but you do not necessarily have to HIDE it onMouseOut. Or you could use
onClick to SHOW the layer, as described later in your post.

Would the user
initiated pop up window using the OBW behavior accomplish this?

Either would.
