Question

popup window for rollover link

I am converting a GoLive web site to Dreamweaver, and need to recreate some rollover links that open in a new smaller size popup window. I have tried using the Open Browser Window extension and also a Popup Link extension from FlevOOware. The first one opens the new popup window correctly but also opens a full size link window below it (instead of keeping the original web page with the link). The second creates a new popup window of the correct size, but there is nothing in it. Can anyone tell me what is needed to correct these problems? I cannot find any help in the resources I have available (Dreamweaver CS3 Bible, Adobe web site resources, forum posts, etc.). Thanks!

Follow up: I think I have got the FlevOOware extension working for my test file, but it does not show up properly when previewing the DW file in some browsers. Also, I noticed that there is a lot of leftover JS code in the files I have been trying to convert (from the original GoLive JS). Am I better off starting from scratch to set up the page with the rollover popups? I cannot export from GL to DW as I do not have GL on my computer any more, and I'm not familiar enough with JS code to go through this manually.

Finally, I am having a problem viewing DW files in Firefox, keep getting a "Firefox cannot find file" message, although the local address is correct and both Safari and Opera find it without any trouble. Is this a DW problem, or a Firefox problem?

Thanks!

Is anybody able to help me with this problem??? I am still not able to get the links/popups to work properly. I am now using the DW Open Browser Window action, and it works, except that instead of leaving the original web page window intact, the popup opens both in the main window AND in a new popup window. This is not what I want to do. In GoLive, there was an "open link in new window" option. If there is something equivalent in DW, I cannot find it, or any information in the resources on how to do this.
Here's a sample link:

Click on the thumbnail images to see what is happening (not sure all of them are working...).

Thanks.
