Making a link to pop up

joshuamd3

Okay here is my code.... I have a few arrow images, that if you click, it will bring you to edit.php, which edits the account information. I would like it to be changed so... if you click the arrow, alittle pop up will come up and say... "You must Email the Admin. to change your profile..."

How can I incorporate that into this???

echo("<p><table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=2><tr><td align=left colspan=3><b><font face=$fontface size=2>Account details:</b></td></tr><tr style=\"background-color: $cellbg1\"><td align=right valign=middle><font face=$fontface size=2><b>Name:</b></td><td align=left valign=middle><font face=$fontface size=2>$name &nbsp;<b>Status:</b> $my_status</td><td align=center><a href=/members/edit.php?".session_name()."=".session_id()."><img src=/img/arrow.gif border=0 alt=\"Change\"></a></td></tr><tr style=\"background-color: $cellbg2\"><td align=right valign=middle><font face=$fontface size=2><b>E-mail:</b></td><td align=left valign=middle><font face=$fontface size=2>$_SESSION[sess_name]</td><td align=center><a href=/members/edit.php?".session_name()."=".session_id()."><img src=/img/arrow.gif border=0 alt=\"Change\"></a></td></tr><tr style=\"background-color: $cellbg1\"><td align=right valign=middle><font face=$fontface size=2><b>Password:</b></td><td align=left valign=middle><font face=$fontface size=2>$passwd</td><td align=center><a href=/members/edit.php?".session_name()."=".session_id()."><img src=/img/arrow.gif border=0 alt=\"Change\"></a></td></tr><tr style=\"background-color: $cellbg2\"><td align=right valign=middle><font face=$fontface size=2><b>Account:</b></td><td align=left valign=middle><font face=$fontface size=2>$accname (Rate: $rate Allow minimized: $allow) ");

If all you're wanting to do is have a popup when a button is clicked, then you can either simply use a j/s alert popup, or "target=_blank" to a static page with the notice on it.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your dilemna, you won't have to do a single thing in php.

I would like an alert pop up.... i guess like those stupid internet pop up's, but I am a total noob and have no idea how to incorporate that java into this...

First off Josh,

echo("<p>
<table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=2>
	<tr>
		<td align=left colspan=3>
		<b><font face=$fontface size=2>Account details:</b>
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr style=\"background-color: $cellbg1\">
		<td align=right valign=middle>
		<font face=$fontface size=2><b>Name:</b></td><td align=left valign=middle><font face=$fontface size=2>$name &nbsp;<b>Status:</b> $my_status
		</td>
		<td align=center>
		<a href=/members/edit.php?".session_name()."=".session_id()."><img src=/img/arrow.gif border=0 alt=\"Change\"></a>
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr style=\"background-color: $cellbg2\">
		<td align=right valign=middle>
		<font face=$fontface size=2><b>E-mail:</b>
		</td>
		<td align=left valign=middle>
		<font face=$fontface size=2>$_SESSION[sess_name]
		</td>
		<td align=center>
		<a href=/members/edit.php?".session_name()."=".session_id()."><img src=/img/arrow.gif border=0 alt=\"Change\"></a>
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr style=\"background-color: $cellbg1\">
		<td align=right valign=middle>
		<font face=$fontface size=2><b>Password:</b>
		</td>
		<td align=left valign=middle>
		<font face=$fontface size=2>$passwd
		</td>
		<td align=center>
		<a href=/members/edit.php?".session_name()."=".session_id()."><img src=/img/arrow.gif border=0 alt=\"Change\"></a>
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr style=\"background-color: $cellbg2\">
		<td align=right valign=middle>
		<font face=$fontface size=2><b>Account:</b>
		</td>
		<td align=left valign=middle>
		<font face=$fontface size=2>$accname (Rate: $rate Allow minimized: $allow) ");

For your future welfare at any forum, format your code so people can read it. It's crappy to expect people to put it into an editor and spend 10 minutes formatting it before they can even begin to help you. The only reason I did it is because of my OCD 🙂

That being said, I would suggest a pop up html window. This generator will allow you to easily create a pop of any size you'd like, create the html to go inside of it, and simply follow the directions to use it.

The reason I wouldn't use a simple j/s alert is because if user's have js disabled, they won't see a thing, and simply think the link is dead. With the html window, if they have js disabled, the window won't center and be sized, but they'll still get the notice.

Moved to ClientSide Technologies forum... this type of thing would have nothing to do with PHP yet everything to do with HTML/CSS/Javascript.

Speaking of W3C compliancy - "target=" is no longer a valid attribute; use something like this instead:

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" rel="external">External Link (new window)</a>
