DHTML Window widget - OnHide Event & Open Hidden
1) Script Title:
DHTML Window widget
2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ndow/index.htm
3) Describe problem:
I have a page that I load via this GREAT tool/script but the page is a little heavy so ... I wanted to just load it once and then use hide/show when it is needed. I would use the existing method to refresh its contents prior to showing it but I do not see how to load it the first time with it already being hidden. Is there a way to do that?
Also, there is a way to be able to execute a function when the window closes which is great but is there a way to do the same when the window is hidden?
Thank you very much for any help!
If not too much trouble ... clarification perhaps?
First of all ... thank you very much for your help ... really.
The one thing that I think you misunderstood was ... I wanted to know if there is a way for the page that is being displayed in the window to know when it is being shown again so that it can take action. Alternativly if the parent page can reach down into the child it could potentially force an action.
The page that I want to display is rather "heavy" (that is why I do not want to reload it) and when it gets shown again I want to be able to make it refresh itself from a database. This I can do but I do not know how it can tell that it is being shown again.
