popup

[glenelkins]

Hi

 

Say i have a link as such: <a href="#" onclick="window.open ( blablabla);">

 

how can i make this popup work, without refreshing the webpage that the link is on? This currently will show the popup but also refreshes the current page

the way I did it was to have a folder with my help files in it, this javascritp function and the call

function PopupMe(num){
myleft=(screen.width)?(screen.width-800)/2:100;mytop=(screen.height)?(screen.height-600)/2:100;
settings='top=' + mytop + ',left=' + myleft + ',width=500,height=400,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,fullscreen=no, titlebar=no'
var address = "";
switch(num) {
case 1:
address = 'help/comp_admin_help.php';
break;
case 2:
address = 'help/supp_admin_help.php';
break;
case 3:
address = 'help/prod_admin_help.php';
break;
case 4:
address = 'help/ord_admin_help.php';
break;

}
Login=window.open(address,'Login', settings);
Login.focus();
}

<a href="javascript:PopupMe(2)"><img src="../images/icons/help.gif" alt="Help Files" width="55" height="55" border="0" /></a>

 

this way it uses javascript to bring the help files into a popup and has no direct input to the page I am on so it does not refresh - hope that helps

Try this :

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

function popitup(url) {

newwindow=window.open(url,'name');

if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}

return false;

}

 

// -->

</script>

You just need to return false in the javascript so the link won't re-load the page

<a href="#" onclick="window.open ( blablabla); return false;">
