Yep, you’ve got it… tho if
there are multiple links on the page you want this too happen with, class is
better, two of the same IDs on a page is bad. Regardless of the class being in
the CSS file or not, it’s a unique identifier for a group of elements.<o:p></o:p>

Ah! That's where I've gone wrong. I knew what I had
was all a big cock-up. I did look at the API first, but still couldn't manage to
get it to work right. My click function worked just fine (though I know that
the "var handle" bit isn't strictly necessary), it's just that *all*
of my <a href...> tags were opening via the .click function and not just
the couple I wanted.
The class isn't one that really exists in a .css file or anything, but just
something I added in an attempt to do what you've now explained to me how to
do. I had originally had an ID on each of the <a> tags that I wanted
opening up in this special way. If I've got this right now, I could do
something like:
$("a#newWindow").click(function{});
Is that right? I think I'd rather not use a class, since one doesn't really
exist that's called "newWindow" (I just arbitrarily put that class on
the certain A tags in one of many attempts to get the syntax correct. So, I
think the ID on each tag would be better. Have I got that right?
Cheers,
Chris

What does .newWindow relate too? The
code you’re using has jQuery looking for A within .newWindow… Are
you trying to find all the A tags with a class of newwindow? If so, the
constructer would be $(“a.newWindow”). jQuery uses CSS syntax
to target things, so if you’re unfamiliar with how to select an element
with a class, I’d suggest doing some googling on it or read the
jQuery.com pages on Expressions.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p>

Second, you’ve constructed the
click() function wrong… you don’t need the var handle = bit…
function () { window.open(this.href, ‘some_target’,
‘width=550, height=550’); } is all you need.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p>

This should be a quick one.
I know there's a way to do this, but it escapes me at this time.
I've got a few <a href...> tags on my screen, and I want some of them to
open in the same window and some to open in a pop up, sized specifically.
Here's what I've got so far:
<script>
 $(document).ready(
 function (){$("a", ".newWindow").click(
 function(){
 // there's more than just
width and height, but you get the idea.
 var handle =
window.open(this.href, 'some_target', 'width=550, height=500');
 });
 });
</script>
I've tried this same idea with the following changes:
 ... $("a", "#newWindow").click(...
and
 ... $("a", newWindow).click(...
and
 ... $("#newWindow", "a").click(...
and
 ... $(".newWindow", "a").click(...
and
 etc., etc., etc.
Where am I going wrong. So far in my jQuery experience, I've only had need to
find elements by their class, element type, or ID. But not a combination of
those. Can someone please hit me with the correct syntax? Hit me hard, so I
don't forget it next time. :o)
