Stephanie,
You'll have to use js and the dom to extract the contents of your layer
and to write them to the new popup window. Beware: Your cross-browser
results may vary with the DOM...
For ie5+ Opera and NN6 something like this should work:
function showWindow(theLayerID) {
var text = document.getElementById(theLayerID).innerHTML;
var header = "<html><title>Gimme A Name</title><body>" + text +
"</body></html>";
var newWin = window.open(header,'','width=400,height=400');
newWin.document.write(header);
newWin.focus();
}
Call this function by putting a link such as <a href="#"
onclick="showWindow(insertTheIdOfTheLayer); return
false;">Clickclick</a> somewhere in your document.
For other browsers you have to use different DOM methods, such as
document.layers(id) in NN4 or document.all(id) for IE4, but this should
get you started.
