Adding a popup that does not interupt the progress

Question

I'm trying to add a popup that opens up a URL, like help window. But I do not want it to interfere with the progress of the captivate project.
I tried using javascript popup window.open() command, on a button. When user clicks button it brings up appropriate popup, but the project goes blank, except for the word [object] on the page.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi again
In that case you need to avoid using JavaScript unless you want to control the size and placement of the popup. If that's what you are doing, you need to code a function in the HTML page or the standard.js file that handles the popup for you. The way you are doing it with the Button or Click Box is likely not pointing to a function.
If simply opening a new window is sufficient, just click the down arrow to the right of the URL and choose New. Click it a second time and DE-select "Continue playing project" to keep the movie paused when the user clicks the object.
