<br />
my home page uses a couple of big ol' animated gif's, and i have a link to my IrCQ net channel there.<br />
i found that linking directly to the chat window from the home page slows down the chat transmission (presumably because of the gif's and the other scripts on the page...)<br />
<br />
so i built an empty page with one link that just opens the chat window.<br />
how do i make the chat open automatically from here?<br />
is the onLoad function what i need to use?<br />
can anyone offer any examples?<br />
<br />
the address is <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://go.to/paegn">http://go.to/paegn</a><!-- m --> if you wanna see what i mean...<!--content-->Just have the open window in the head tag in a script tag.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
<head><br />
<script language="javascript"><br />
features="directories=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,titlebar=no,tollbar=no,scrollbars=no,width=300,heigh t=25,resizable=no";<br />
newWin=window.open([file],[title],features);<br />
</script><br />
</head><br />
<br />
Where [file] is the file you want to load and [title] is the title of the small window. Also the features is not a complete set--you can change the features variable to fit your needs.<!--content-->thanks very much, PD,<br />
i'll give that a try in the morning and let you know how i went...<br />
(it's 2:28 am here, and my GF is not impressed i'm still at the computer...
)<br />
thanks again,<br />
