Hi all
I would like a layer to pop up in the centre of the screen in response =
to a certain user event. I'm not sure, however, of the best means of =
centering the layer. I've created a JavaScript to get the left and top =
values but don't know how to write them into the style. Like so:
<html>
<script language=3D"JavaScript" type=3D"text/javascript">
//get the screen poitions for the 'pop-up' layer
var leftSide, topSide
leftSide =3D (screen.width - 400) / 2
topSide =3D (screen.height - 300) / 2
</script>=20
<head>
<title>Aid for AIDS: Letters</title>
<style>
#reasonCode {position: absolute; left: what's here; top: what's here;}
</style>
</head>
How can I write the values of the leftSide and topSide variables into =
the layer's left and top properties?
Thanks
