Welcome to TalkGraphics
Are you using a iframe for the other website? If not, how are you doing this?
Hi, I am using the standard Link Properties toolbar - select text, Web Properties, Link to web (http://www.healthcareltd.co.uk/), Open Link (New window (_blank)).
However, the pop-up page that opens is a full size page - how do I set the pop-up windows size and location eg top left of browser and size of 500px wide, 600 px high?
Thanks
"_blank" is a target attribute which simply opens a new browser window based on the current window, you cannot size this in Xara Web Designer.
What you need is some javascript to open an URL in a 'custom' browser window like this: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/popwin.htm
A demo on how to use this with Web Designer (or Designer Pro) can be found here: http://xara-users.info/demos/popup-windows/index.htm
Thanks, hopefully this issue will be addressed in the next update...
There's no issue, the "_blank" window attribute parameter does exactly what it is supposed to do.
What you require isn't possible via HTML target attributes. Perhaps what you are asking for is a new feature to be added, by request?

ShapeShifter has provided an excellent solution. And as stated, this is not an issue but the way the HTML command works.
Modify the script on the linked page as needed and there will be no need to wait for an update. :)
