Link to a pop up layer

[scruffy.thedog]

Cant find the answer in the 'forum search' how do you link from text/graphic on one page to a locked pop up layer on another page (plus close button so it will stay open and close when needed) in the same site?

You can't

I tried using the anchor techinique to do it but that only takes you to the other page and will not open the hidden layer so I agree....you can't link to the hidden layer.

You can set a new hidden layer on your current page and link to it. Then set that popup to lock. And make a close button.
When you name the layer put the name(lock) in the page and layers gallery Ex: pop-map(lock)
Make that layer visible to work on it
To create a close button:
Place and object (X in a box) or word on the page (close) and in web properties, paste popup:close into the link to web field.

Just curious - What's the application for this?

Is there a reason why you'd not want to include the pop-up layer inside the page where you'd want it displayed?
