Invoke a hyperlink?

[busillis]

Is it possible to invoke a link when a page loads?

 

I'm trying to use lightwindow* as a notification window.

What do you mean 'invoke a link'?

Well, when I click a link this particular window (lightwindow) appears and displays some content, similar to that of a normal OS dialog.

 

I want to display this lightwindow without clicking a link, when the page loads...?

 

Hope this helps :-S

   {
      //code to display the window
   }
</script>

Sorry to be a pain, still cannot get this to work though  ???

 

Is there any more information I can provide?  I'm racking my brains, but everythign I try doesn't seem to work.  I'm sure i'm doing something silly

Show us how a window such as this is typically created.

This does now work in FireFox 3, but IE7 doesn't do anything.  Is there some tweak to make IE also show it on load?

 

<script type="text/javascript">
   window.onload = function()
   {
myLightWindow = new lightwindow();
myLightWindow.activateWindow ({ href: "uploadform.php", title: 'Title goes here', params:"lightwindow_type=external,lightwindow_width=250,lightwindow_height=150"} );
   }
</script>

 

Thanks for all your help!

I changed the URL to "http://www.google.com" and it now works in IE7, but doesn't seem to work for local file :S

I'm trying to do the same thing here, but it is not working, basically what I"m trying to do is call a function on page load, just like the guy who posted before me, I put the code

 

<script type="text/javascript">
   window.onload = function()
   {
   myLightWindow = new lightwindow();
   myLightWindow.activateWindow ({ href: "http://www.google.com", title: 'Title goes here', params:"lightwindow_type=external,lightwindow_width=250,lightwindow_height=150"} );
   }
</script>

 

right about the </head> tag, but nothing. Is there something I"m doing wrong? The script I"m using is http://stickmanlabs.com/lightwindow/#demos

 

Normally what happens, is a user clicks on a link and a light window is invoked, just like light box. The way you go about doing this is in the example below

 

<a href="casestudyrpo.html" class="lightwindow page-options">CS 1</a>

 

But I"m not sure how I can translate this so that this happens automatically when a page opens. Does anyone have any advice?

 

Thanks in advance
