window.open(this.href,this.target,windowAttributes);
return false;
};

Please expand on this, How would you send different windowAttributes to the specified targets? If if put the different names in the target!='high' it efects all the popups EXCEPT the one I name.
This is the old version that used Dreemweavers built in popup code. there are 2 sizes of popup.
Thanks for any insights.

You can check for your different popup classes and but in bespoke attributes

if(as[i].target=='target1')
{
popfun=function(){
window.open(this.href,this.target,'width=100,height=100');
return false;
};
if(as[i].target=='target2')
{
popfun=function(){
window.open(this.href,this.target,'width=400,height=400');
return false;
};

or smoother would be

if(as[i].target!='')
{
var attribs;
switch (as[i].target)
{
case 'target1':
attribs='width=100,height=100';
break;
case 'target2':
attribs='width=400,height=400';
break;
// ... and so on
}
as[i].attribs=attribs;
popfun=function(){
window.open(this.href,this.target,this.attribs);
return false;
};

and so on.

Thanks a lot, after a bit of a struggle (including ridding the site of JS rollovers), I managed to get the lower version working.
