Resizing popup windows

[drslim2]

Using Xara Designer Pro 7 - I have a popup window to another website from a text link. How do I change the size and popup location of the new window?

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?
