Hello! I’d like to try it but I don’t know where to put the .js file

Does everything go to the pulgins folder?

Yes everything goes in the plugins folder.

Just extract the zip file above as-is.
You will get one php file in the plugins folder and the js file gets extracted in ald-openbrwindow folder

I haven’t understood the problem correctly, but the margin and padding problem that you mentioned above could be because of the way IE renders popups.

I am currently working on a way to improve this.

Thanks for the suggestions above.

Unfortunately, at this point there is not control panel.

I am working on adding a button to the Quicktags for easy access.
Until then the customizing section will provide the necessary information.

The plugins works fine, but when the window open, the portuguese characters like Ã§, Ã£, Ã©, isn’t visible.

This will make things easier for me, and once that button is in the quick-tag bar, easier still. Thanks! Now I can link to media directly from a post instead of sending folks to a new page. I don’t know how I missed this one…

Your welcome David.

This isn’t one of my very popular plugins

I am trying, but the button in the quick-tag bar is going to take some effort.
