Hi

I´d like to know if there is a way to call a containerless popup without specifying the URL straight away. I want to call a containerless popup which then loads different content when other links on the Parent page are clicked. (I hope u all know what I mean) If this is not possible I´d be just as greatfull for any other tips on containerless popups.

Its real important (job depends on it and all that) so I´d love to hear your answers *beg*

okay, so i presume you want a window to open and keep it in the background which will then load all the new pages you click on from the parent page. Heh, i sound as confusing as ever :D ... here's the code, let me know if this is what you want, or how you want to go around this:

within your <head> tags put:

<script>

function openUp(){
window.open('blank.html','abcd','');
window.focus();
}

</script>

(note, the third set of single quotes, you can put in the window attributes = best place to understand about these window attributes, at least where i learned them from, was webmonkey).

abcd -> the name of the window that pops up
window.focus -> makes sure that the current window stays on top.

in your <Body> tag include:

onload="openUp()"

whenever you call in a link, you can either create an array, or you can just create a link and within the <A HREF> tag, include

TARGET="abcd" or whatever you called the new window.

Let me know if this is what you want. Unfortunately, I don't know what you mean by "containerless"

if by containerless you mean with no border or windoze titlebar then take a look a www.dynamicdrive.com and look for the cromles window script

Okay, found a containerless page, and found an example, here's the direct code from that page, put it within your head tags

***************
<script>

// Amazing Frameless Popup Window - Version I
// (C) 2000 www.CodeLifter.com
// Free for all users, but leave in this header

// set the popup window width and height

var windowW=300 // wide
var windowH=400 // high

// set the screen position where the popup should appear

// var windowX = 200 // from left
// var windowY = 300 // from top
var windowX = (screen.width/2)-(windowW/2);
var windowY = (screen.height/2)-(windowH/2);

// set the url of the page to show in the popup

var urlPop = "mypopup.htm"

// set the title of the page

var title = "Bill says hello to you"

// set this to true if the popup should close
// upon leaving the launching page; else, false

var autoclose = true

// ============================
// do not edit below this line
// ============================

s = "width="+windowW+",height="+windowH;
var beIE = document.all?true:false

function openFrameless(){
if (beIE){
NFW = window.open("","popFrameless","fullscreen,"+s)
NFW.blur()
window.focus()
NFW.resizeTo(windowW,windowH)
NFW.moveTo(windowX,windowY)
var frameString=""+
"<html>"+
"<head>"+
"<title>"+title+"</title>"+
"</head>"+
"<frameset rows='*,0' framespacing=0 border=0 frameborder=0>"+
"<frame name='top' src='"+urlPop+"' scrolling=auto>"+
"<frame name='bottom' src='about:blank' scrolling='no'>"+
"</frameset>"+
"</html>"
NFW.document.open();
NFW.document.write(frameString)
NFW.document.close()
} else {
NFW=window.open(urlPop,"popFrameless","scrollbars,"+s)
NFW.blur()
window.focus()
NFW.resizeTo(windowW,windowH)
NFW.moveTo(windowX,windowY)
}
NFW.focus()
if (autoclose){
window.onunload = function(){NFW.close()}
}
}

</script>

And while i was typing this, yeah the post above came up, forgot about dynamicdrive, might have been even a better bet. :thumbsup: Try them both.
