Re: popup window

Peter,

A common popup script I use, in conjunction with a standard hypertext link,
is:

swidth=screen.width
if (swidth < 800) {
    var www="400";
    var hhh="300";
    var sbs="yes";
    }
if (swidth >= 800) {
    var www="700";
    var hhh="500";
    var sbs="no";
    }
function popUp(pPage) {
    popUpWin = window.open(pPage,'popWin','resizable=yes,scrollbars=' + sbs
+ ',width=' + www + ',height=' + hhh);
    }

This script's variables open either a fixed-size popup for 800x600 and
higher resolutions, or a smaller, scrollable popup for smaller resolutions.
In either case, the resulting popup window is resizable by the user. The
variables are fairly self-explanitory. You can choose to remove the
variables and set a fixed size by removing the ' + www + ' (replacing it
with your desired width) and ' + hhh (replacing it with your desired height
and a closing ' ). The ' + sbs + ' can be set to either yes or no, depending
on whether you want scrollbars or not.

This script is invoked with the following line:
<A HREF="javascript:popUp('[Linked page]')">[Linked text or image here]</A>

...and the standard, non-JavaScript code below or beside it (depending on
your layout):
<A HREF="[Linked page]" TARGET="_blank">[Linked text or image here]</A>

I use this script on one of my client's sites, where the popup function is
wrapped around an image tag, and the standard link is wrapped around the
image's caption. I then include a comment on the page stating that the
images call the popup (using JavaScript), and the captions open a new window
(without JavaScript).

Hope this helps! Good luck!
