For the pop-up you need Javascript Search with googles there will be a lot of results

< SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">window.open("enter link here");</SCRIPT>this should give you a popup that links to a page<script>var popunder=new Array()popunder[0]=" Enter Link Here"var winfeatures="width=100,height=100,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,toolbar=0,location=0,menubar=0,status=0,directories=0" var once_per_session=0 ///No editing beyond here required///// function get_cookie(Name) {var search = Name + "="var returnvalue = "";if (document.cookie.length > 0) {offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)if (offset != -1) { // if cookie existsoffset += search.length// set index of beginning of valueend = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);// set index of end of cookie valueif (end == 400)end = document.cookie.length;returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))}}return returnvalue;} function loadornot(){if (get_cookie('popunder')==''){loadpopunder()document.cookie="popunder=yes"}} function loadpopunder(){win2=window.open(popunder[Math.floor(Math.random()*(popunder.length))],"",winfeatures)win2.blur()window.focus()} if (once_per_session==0)loadpopunder()elseloadornot() </script>that sould give you a pop under with a linki hop that has help in at least the slightest bit

Wow! you are very good at javascript! I'm not too shabby either:<script language="javascript">function p() {window.open('google.com','bnettaf','width=222,height=222,top=2,left=2,toolbars=no,resizable=0');}</script>And to excute the site you just link to "javascript: p();"For example: <a href="javascript: p();">click here</a>Notes: Width is the width of the windowHeight is the height of the windowTop is the position from the topLeft is postition from the leftToolbars is if toolbars should be displayedResizable is the ability to resize! 0 means no, 1 means yes.:POh yah, this whole thing is supposed to open a browser window if you didn't notice!~JohnnyHave a great day! Hope this helped!

Use the code that Dooga gave:

<script language="javascript">function p() {window.open('contact.php','bnettaf','width=222,height=222,top=2,left=2,toolbars=no,resizable=0');}</script><a href="javascript: p();">click here</a>

Make a file calles contact.php and use the contact form here:
http://forums.xisto.com/topic/4780-php-contact-form-contact-forms-made-easy/

that should do it...

From my understanding, it seems the user don't care if an e-mail is sent. It's just an implementation detail for developers.

 

My suggestion is:

 

1 The user fill a form in your web page, then submit

2 php or jsp on the server collect all the information. Then call system api to send a mail with these information. You can search the mail() on http://php.net/ or JavaMail API on java.sun.com

 

Server technology is better than client technology for your requirement.

 

Thanks to all,

Followup Question:

Once I create the popup window & link it via url to the content webpage,

How do I make the webpage send the info to my e-mail account?

This may seem obvious to youall but I'm totally new to this sort of thing.

I guess what I'm asking is-Where & How do I put the link to my e-mail account url in the webpage?

Thanks again,
