I am currently using front page, but I can upload through extensions or FTP.... I am wanting to create my own pop up window (temporarily) when people acccess my main page... I have never used Java script (so I am clueless but quick learner if I have a decent piece of shareware/freeware/trial to help me out)... can anybody help?????

just put this in the head part of the page.

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

and in the body tag add this
onLoad="MM_openBrWindow('d','mywindow','toolbar=ye s,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=y es,resizable=yes,width=100,height=100')"

then ur body tag will look like this
<body onLoad="MM_openBrWindow('d.html','mywindow','toolb ar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollb ars=yes,resizable=yes,width=100,height=100')">

customizations : yes if u want it to be displayed else no.
toolbar = yes/no
location = yes/no
status = yes/no
menubar = yes/no
scrollbars = yes/no
resizable = yes/no

mywindow : window name
width & height : ur choice. or do not mention it.

this is one way

else in ur head part
say

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">
{
window.open("test.html", "","menubar=no,toobar=no,location=no,resizable=no, width=245,height=235,status=no,toolbar=no,scrollba r=no");
}
</SCRIPT>

same customizations as above.

that's it.

let me know.

I think this is about the same as praveen, with the exception to center the pop-up (the x-y axis).

In the < head >

<script>

var doPopUpX = (screen.width/2)-240;
var doPopUpY = (screen.height/2)-300;
var pos = "left="+doPopUpX+",top="+doPopUpY;

function doPopUp(){
doPopUpWindow = window.open("http://www.yourpage.com","George","toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,
status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,
width=600,height=480,"+pos);
}

</script>

In the < body >

<body onload="doPopUp()">

bold = customize
__________________________________________________
Praveen, does it need the x-y axis in order to center the pop-up?

WOW!! Thanks I will have to try it!! I took out a pic to put in an animation that will be taken off in a few weeks, and prefer to have it in a different window when they open the home page!! I will have to try this tonight!! THANKS!
I will let you know if it worked!!

PHP Code:


			
<script language="JavaScript"> 

<!-- 

function MM_openBrWindow(OpenURL,WinName,Features) { 

window.open(OpenURL,WinName,Features); 

} 

//--> 

</script> 



<body onLoad="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.scrapbookextra.com/GrandOpening.htm','Grand Opening!','toolbar=no,location=no,status= 

no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width 

=350,height=300');">

Ok just copy the above back into your webpage and have it replace what you had before.

Oops, I think dk is right in the next post. I edited this one of mine out so not to be confusing.

Dave

**dk01** · 07-24-2002, 06:17 PM

Hey Dave unfourtunately that won't work because trefrggy copied the URL, title, and features into the actual script too. I think if you look it over you will see what I mean. I think the one I posted above does it correctly.

**DaveMo~** · 07-24-2002, 06:21 PM

I think you're right dk, so I edited out my post to not be confusing.

**trefrggy** · 07-24-2002, 07:05 PM

Maybe it is because of Front Page??
http://www.scrapbookextra.com
I am TRYING (with ya'll's expertise...TYVM) to get the animation I have on the shop online page to come up in a pop up window whenever you open the main page (so I created a page GrandOpening.htm for that with just the background and animation)
Well, thanks for trying!! I will live without it!!
Beckie

**dk01** · 07-25-2002, 12:39 AM

I do not see the script we gave you on that page. I think you need to re upload the site first so we can see it.
-dk

**trefrggy** · 07-25-2002, 03:26 AM

AHHHH that is because a friend of mine directed me to another javascript freebie site that looked like it would work...so i tried that..when it failed i gave up!! i wasted my WHOLE day on that instead of getting down to other important business!! LOL So..i will change it back tomorrow evening...after i accomplish what i HAVE to....LOL
Thank you guys SOOO Much..You are the BEST!

**trefrggy** · 07-25-2002, 11:44 AM

Okay!! I put it back...doesn't show any errors when the page loads...BUT the pop up doesn't pop up

Beckie

**dk01** · 07-25-2002, 05:30 PM

Try taking out all the spaces between the lines in the code. You seem to have a couple newlines right in the middle of the onLoad code. i Dunno if that'll fix it.
-dk

**trefrggy** · 07-25-2002, 06:05 PM

Hmmm fixed that and still no window...okay I am gonna pull all my hair out..LOL..NAHHHH i will just steal that bottle from ya DK....Cause only one more drink ain't cuttin it!! LOL

**trefrggy** · 07-25-2002, 10:07 PM

I have been playing with the code and I am SOOO close..only 1 error showing, but I can't seem to figure out what it is..and right now in IE, the main page begins to load, then switches to www.scrapbookextra.com/no (of course for which there is no page!) BUT it is not a pop up, either...It DOESN"T do this in Netscape (go figure) so here are the tags in Netscape:

<script language="JavaScript">  </script>

<body onLoad="MM_openBrWindow(OpenUrl='http://www.scrapbookextra.com/GrandOpening.htm',WinName='GrandOpening!',toolbar= 'no',location='no',status='no',menubar='no',scroll bars='no',resizable='no',width='350',height='300') ">

any ideas??

beckie

hey DK thanks for the bottle...it seems to have helped a bit!!

**dk01** · 07-26-2002, 12:31 AM

ok try replacing this:

Code:

<script language="JavaScript"> 
<!-- function="MM_OpenBrWindow(OpenURL,WinName,Features)" 
{ window.open="OpenURL,WinName,Features" } //--> 
</script>

with this

Code:

<script language="JavaScript"> 
<!-- 
function MM_OpenBrWindow(OpenURL,WinName,Features) { 
window.open(OpenURL,WinName,Features") 
} 
//--> 
</script>

and it should work. fingers crossed.

-dk

**trefrggy** · 07-26-2002, 01:05 AM

same thing...now the errror when i preview (before I save and publish) is
line 24 character 1 says: Object expected
my thinking..well if it's expected..then it should WORK DAMMIT!!!

LOL .....well let me play with the body tag some more...
Beckie

**trefrggy** · 07-26-2002, 01:46 AM

OHOHOHOH!!! the bottom <head> scrpt that praveen originally gave me got the window to pop up!!! BUT cannot find server message in the pop up!! i did take out the body tag, so let me try putting that back in!
beckie

**trefrggy** · 07-26-2002, 02:39 AM

DUH!!! In my excitement I had forgotten to add the http:// .....then forgot to add the slash between the address and the page...MAJOR BLONDE MOMENT!!
I DID IT!!!!
Thank you Praveen...the answer was actually in your FIRST post (the last <head> script you gave me...NO body tag)
DK...thanks for ALL the help..and hanging in there!! ohh and the extra drinks....LOL
