G'day Mate,
It could be done but it's messy

It means adding onclick functions to the url's etc. And sometimes the .css path and anything else that the popup would need to function.

The biggest problem would be popup-blockers not allowing the popup - so it kind of defeats the purpose of doing it in the first place.

thanks for the info.... would it be better to use javascript to create an open window..?
something like this
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.open('{U_BIRTHDAYS_POPUP}', '_phpbbbirthday', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');
//-->
though I do not know exactly how that works...or is that still a pop up whill will be blocked
thanks again
