Popup window question

One thing I like about V5 is the option to click on a sub-menu and have a pop-up window appear. This is very useful for me as it means I don't have to have a HTML page to display a short bit of text, like with a FAQ.

However, is it possible to store the text elsewhere, either in the .JS file or externally and give it a name, like so:

Current way of doing pop-up

Code:

aI("text=Why do I have to 'log on'?;url=javascript:alert('dont know')");

Remote pop-up text

Code:

aI("text=Why do I have to 'log on'?;url=javascript:alert(mytext)");

Where and how can I define the string called 'mytext'?

Figured it out myself!!!!

The answer, for anyone who is as stupid as me is:

Code:

sometext="Its a Java popup menu";

aI("text=What is this?;url=javascript:alert(sometext)");

Industrial Strength JavaScript and DHTML Menus
