I actually need to know the exact same thing!

Ok I think this is what you want it to do.

Put this in the head section of your page or a js file and link to it.

Code:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
var state = 'hidden';

function showhide(layer_ref) {

if (state == 'visible') {
state = 'hidden';
}
else {
state = 'visible';
}
if (document.all) { //IS IE 4 or 5 (or 6 beta)
eval( "document.all." + layer_ref + ".style.visibility = state");
}
if (document.layers) { //IS NETSCAPE 4 or below
document.layers[layer_ref].visibility = state;
}
if (document.getElementById && !document.all) {
hiddencode = document.getElementById(layer_ref);
hiddencode.style.visibility = state;
}
}
//-->
</script>

And this is the code to show the coupon code and open a site (godaddy in this example) in another window (IE) or tab (FF)

Code:

<a onclick="showhide('coupon_code'),window.open('http://www.godaddy.com','popup');return false;">-->>click here<<--</a> to see the coupon code!
        
<!-- START - HIDDEN INFORMATION TO BE SHOWN ONCLICK --> 
<div id="coupon_code" style="visibility:hidden;">
<strong>Coupon Code</strong>
</div>
<!-- END - HIDDEN INFORMATION TO BE SHOWN ONCLICK -->

I put this together from various sources.

You'll need to work on the link style as it isn't a visible link as it is now so if you style it with blue and an underline it would appear as a link.



Hope it helps or at least puts you on the right path to find what you need.

Hmm. That just seems to open a new window/tab.

What I'm trying to do is make it so that someone clicks say, a submit button - but when they do, they're also getting a pop-up window that is totally separate. Is this possible?

The code I posted was in response to this question. Well the 2nd part of it anyway. which if you want an example you can see it at http://www.parkzu.com/fb.php

And what you want is more than likely possible also and I'll see if I can figure it out for you.

ok this will open a new window on a submit

Code:

 <script>
  function popup(popupType) {
   window.open("http://www.tech_faq.com");
  }
 </script>
 <form method="post" action="http://netbuilders.org" onSubmit="popup()">
  <input type="text" name="q"/>
  <input type="submit"/>
 </form>

In this example it would open a new window/tab with tech_faq and insert netbuilders into whatever you were trying to do..
