Where Do I Place The Code?Īnywhere on the page. The answer use to be no, but there is now a script that will allow it in IE 5.0 and above browsers. The status bar is the area at the very bottom of the browser screen that tells you “Document Done”.
status=no denotes if there will be a status bar. This is the bar at the top of the browser window that has the bookmarks and such. directories=no denotes if there will be a directories bar on the new window. The location bar is the space at the top of the browser window where the page URL is displayed. location=no denotes if there will be a location bar on the newly opened window. resizable=nodenotes if the user can change the size of the window by dragging or not. I wouldn’t make a new window that would need scrollbars anyway. scrollbars=nodenotes if there will be scrollbars or not. The menubar is the line of items above labeled FILE, EDIT, VIEW, GO, etc. Set this to yes if you want one – no if you don’t. 
menubar=no denotes if there will be a menubar.
The toolbar is the line of buttons at the top of the browser window that contains the BACK, FORWARD, STOP, RELOAD, etc.
toolbar=no denotes if there will be a toolbar on the newly opened window. width=400denotes the width of the window in pixels. height=100denotes the height of the window in pixels. (This command really isn’t required, but it’s a good idea to use just to keep things straight) config=denotes that what follows configures the window. But it could have just as easily been zork, or woohaa, or raspberry. In order for the JavaScript to know what item it is dealing with, the item has to have a name. We are going to use commands intended to alter the window the script is opening. ‘titlepage.html’is the name of the page that will fill the window. window.openis the JS command to open a new browser window. Now we get to the commands I used on this page to get the little window effect. But wouldn’t it be great if we actually had the ability to configure the window any way we wanted? You bet. That little script will work and open a new browser window and you’ll get the effect. In the example above the HTML document that fills the window is called page.html. It opens a window (a new browser screen actually) and fills it with the page within the parentheses and single quotes. 
Window.open (‘page.html’)does just what it says. …but it’s the stuff in the middle that that makes the magic. You see, if you didn’t have those in there, the text would display. The are used to hide the text from older browsers that don’t read JavaScript. Since this is a script, you need the opening SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”javascript” statement, and of course the /SCRIPT statement at the end. Heck, you can almost guess what each of the parts does. But it’s a very simple JavaScript, so don’t get worried so soon. It really scares the cat.īut if you insist on doing one, let’s do it right! We’ll start at the beginning. Sort of like some guy telling you the same joke every time he meets you. I think they become an annoyance after a while. If you decide to go with this kind of pop up window, use it sparingly. Some sites even use them as control panels operating the main window.
I don’t know why, but everyone wants to know how to create these little windows that pop up.
I start getting all kinds of email asking how to do it. I can always tell when there is a new command that is in vogue.
