We're using the menu settings in Moodle 2 - AfterBurner theme:
► Site administration ► Appearance ► Themes ► Theme settings
We've managed to get menus to display links as new windows but we're struggling to get them to open up as pop-ups or just re-sized windows on top of content. For example ... the settings below show the menu item REGISTER and when selected shows it as a full new window - however, the form just needs a window 300 width x 400 height ... anyone any idea how we can do this ? The full screen is ugly and a re-sized window will look much better.
Register|http://www.xxxxx.org/theme/afterburner/register.html" target="new"
We've tried just about everything we can think of including width=300 etc but these have no effect ....
Thanks in advance

Hi Mark,
I have found a way to do this but I have only tested this in Moodle 2.1.5 as I am not sure which version of Moodle you have.
Here is the fix:
- Create a new directory in your current theme folder and call it javascript
- Copy the following into Notepad and save it as urlpopup.js and add it to the javascript folder you just created
function urlpopup(url) { newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=300,width=300'); if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()} return false; } - When creating the LINK you add it in the following way...
Moodle community|"http://moodle.org onclick="return urlpopup('http://moodle.org') - Next OPEN your theme's config.php and add the following line to the end of that file...
$THEME->javascripts_footer = array('urlpopup');
