Pop-up

Anon

I have seen sites that have links open a new browser window (pop-ups) using java script. The window is a specific size, in a specific location on the screen with nothing but the title bar of the browser showing. Is there a way to acomplish this using php.

Thanks

Since this is a client-side issue, PHP is irrelevant--though of course you can use a PHP script to write the required javascript to the browser, same as it would write any other html.

And so that you don't go home empty handed, here's a function that does it (remember to put this in the head section:

function openBrWindow (theURL,winName,features)
{
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}

You can then put something like:

onClick="openBrWindow('popup/help_general.htm','Help','scrollbars=yes,width=450'

Inside your link tag.

And of course you can use width=<? echo $width; ?> to interface it with PHP, sort of. You can select the width on one page, then when the next page loads, this window will pop up with that width....

just an example...

Thanks for the example, Dan; I'm not at all a Javascript expert!

I'm trying to use this to pop up a window, the width and height of which are dependent on the image width and height it contains. I know this must be some combination of getimagesize and what ever is used to create the popup. Could anyone help me? Idally I'd pass the image src to the function and have it then popup the window.
