Using Popup Editor in Simple mode.

    • URL – necessary field. The link to the new window; you can specify external link by writing in the absolute link to the page (with http://), or select a page from the SiteMap, by clicking âÀ¦ button.
    • Name – optional field. This field is used if you have several pages that should open in a same new window, i.e. when user clicks on links in that main window and new pages are opening in the same pop-up window, changing one another, rather than opening in new popup windows. To create this behavior you should give the same name to all popup links on the main page.
