Popup Box II... want it to take a JSP page

[mschat]

1) Script Title: Popup Box II

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/abox2.htm

3) Describe problem: Is there a way to insert a JSP page inside this popup? Currently this code in the above URL only takes in HTML code. I want it to display a JSP page.

Thanks

I don't know much about jsp but, if it is anything like asp and php, can't you just put an include in place of the HTML?

the exact code location which takes in the HTML text in the popup.js is:

line 207: content.innerHTML=text;

So even if I give a JSP file include in the popUp() funtion...it will convert it to plain text and/or throw an error. The final output of the page is a .html page where as I want it to be a .jsp page. In other words the window which will 'popup' should be my .jsp page and not the original HTML.

Well, in asp and in php you can rename the file to:

popup.asp

or:

popup.php

Once you do that, you can use includes or whatever on it. It can still be linked to the page that uses it as a javascript file, in your case, the link would look like so:


<script type="text/javascript" src="popup.jsp">

I'm most familiar with asp. In that, most of the script would remain as is except that it could have:

<!--#include virtual="/includes/some.asp"-->

type things in it where desired, and even VBscript (the server side scripting language of choice in asp) within asp delimiters if desired.
