[Resolved] Solution for popup help window, please.

[davidjam]

This is probably a Javascript solution, which I know nothing of.

Does anyone have a simple script for a link to open a popup help window? I would want the window trimmed of any extra buttons, status bars, etc. The actual page that would load would be PHP and the link would pass (via GET) whatever help topic applies.

Grateful in advance. 🙂

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('help.php','newWindow','left=100,top=100,height=600,width=600,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,resizable=yes')">Help</a>

This would open page help.php in a new window 100 pixels from left margine of the screen and 100 pixels from the top of the screen and it will have 600 pixels in height and in width and all of the additions to the window would be stripped except you will have abillity to resize it...

To add the parameter you need just in the first argument where you call out the page you add it in the link like help.php?id=1...

Thanks a lot bodzan, that was exactly what I was after, simple and effective. Of course I am easily impressed because I don't know javascript at all. It is definitely on my list of things to learn, but right now I am focussing totally on PHP.
