Pop up

[williamZanelli]

Hi guys,

 

I was jsut wondering if someone could tell how I could code a popup when someone clicks on a hyperlink.

 

I have terms and conditions on mywebsite.. when a user accepts I want a pop-up-link to the terms

 

The following code does the job, however I want to customise the new window, as in size, scroll, toolbar etc.

<a href="terms.html" target="_blank">

 

Any ideas..? is this a Javascript issue?

 

Thanks in advance

 

William.

plz dont use ugly popups  try using a modal instead. that way you don't have to worry about a popup blocker and it looks nicer.

 

here is an example for you

there are tons of modal scripts out there just take one you like

I did using the folliwing code. I agree your appraoch is better, its something I'll look into the future,

 

I have read the  < a on click="window.open('http://www.somesite.com/terms.html', 'BBCWorldNewsWindowName', 'left=100,screenX=200,resizable,scrollbars,status'); return false;" target="_blank" > terms  and I agree to them.

 

 

Thanks for the tips.

You need to use a javascript function:

 

function popitup(url) {
newwindow=window.open(url,'terms','height=650,width=700,resizable=yes');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
return false;
}

 

Then call your hyperlink like this:

 

Terms

most web browsers will block that nowadays, and they should as its friggin annoying.

I've never had a problem with it, it's a W3 standard.
