DHTML pop-up window script

**egghead2000** · 06-24-2007, 03:33 PM

Nope!!! now this is what the published page looks like:

<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0"> <meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"> <title>contact us</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="windowfiles/dhtmlwindow.css" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="windowfiles/dhtmlwindow.js"> /*********************************************** * DHTML Window Widget- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com) * This notice must stay intact for legal use. * Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code ***********************************************/ </script> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="750"> <tr> <td width="350"></td> <td width="350"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="350"></td> <td width="350"> <a href="#" onClick="ajaxwin=dhtmlwindow.open('contactus', 'contact', info_page.htm', 'Contact Us', 'width=650px,height=400px,left=300px,top=100px,resize=0,scrolling=1'); return false">Contact Us</a> </tr> </table> </center> </div> </body> </html>

Ok, instead of using Frontpage, try using Notepad and copy the code I posted in my previous post. Or; in Frontpage, use the Source Code view instead of design view.

Thanks for the tip of posting to notepad first, saves me a lot of converting.

BUT the pop up window isn't opening

Here's some boiler plate on FP that may help:

Well, you might be able to configure FP so as to allow you to insert code like this without it mangling it so much. Read the manual or Google for help on that. Another alternative, and what I recommend in all cases like this, is to get your page looking like you want using FP but without any scripts. Save a copy of that somewhere to work on later if the need arises. Next open the page in notepad or simple text and add the scripts in according to the installation instructions, including any customization you've added. Never load this version of the page into FP ever again. To preview it locally, use the browser. To upload it, use FTP (preferred) or your host's online uploading tool.

Here is trick I ran across* that should stop FP from changing scripts but, since I do not use FP, I haven't tested it:

In a text editor open the page whose code you wish to preserve.

At the beginning of the section of code you wish to prevent FrontPage from modifying, add the following line of code:

Code:

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->

At the end of the code section, add the following line of code:

Code:

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->

Save the changes to the file. The next time the file is opened in FrontPage, FrontPage will not attempt to alter the code between the two HTMLMarkup tags. You still need to put the script into the page with a text editor.

Are you sure that you downloaded the files from dd? You need to download the css file, js file, as well as the images that correspond to the windows (unless you make your own images). Anyways; after doing that and it still doesn't work, post a link to your test page and we will check it out to see what is going on with it.

Hope this helps.

No, I just copy/paste your code.

**thetestingsite** · 06-24-2007, 10:15 PM

In that case, download this file:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...htmlwindow.zip

and upload the extracted files to your server. From there, look at demo.htm for a more in-depth look at how to get this script working on your site.

Hope this helps.

Here is a link to my test page:

Well, looking at the test page, the syntax is correct to get the script working as long as you download the following files and place them in a new folder called "windowfiles" (without the quotes).

windowfiles/dhtmlwindow.css
windowfiles/dhtmlwindow.js
windowfiles/close.gif
windowfiles/min.gif
windowfiles/resize.gif
windowfiles/restore.gif

Hope this helps.
