Buttons don't work!!!!

S

skc

A client is trying to access a web site I created in
FP2000, but the form buttons does not launch a Javascript
pop-up Window when searching for a car.

He can launch a pop-up from the home page of
www.maslenmotors.com (see top left), but he cannot launch
a pop-up when you go to Showroom - search for a car then
click the options for each car such as View Image. Also,
the rotating banner "Click for finance offer" when clicked
on does nothing!

This is really bugging me now. The showroom pages
are .asp using FP's DRW on a Access 2000 Database and the
home page is a standard .htm page.

Can someone help me get this sorted please.

Does the user have JavaScript enabled in his browser?
Does the user have a popup stopper installed?

YES

How can I find out?

If there is no answer, I need to know a universal method
of launching a pop-up window without using JavaScript
which is a certain size, eg. 500 x 500.

The user would know if they installed one or use an ISP the provided it.

The universal method for creating a popup window where you control the size
is JavaScript.

Instead of using form buttons, use images for hyperlinks, then use the
following as your link:

Javascript:launchCenter('enquire.htm', 'center', 440, 600);

or

Use the same method you are using on your home page.

So I delete my form buttons in grey, add an image to
mimick the form buttons, right click the image in
FP>Hyperlink then put in there: Javascript:launchCenter
('enquire.htm', 'center', 440, 600);

Am I correct?

Are you sure this will work?

The reason I told you to add form tags around the buttons, is that browsers
other than IE may not see the form button element as a form without the form
tags, in which case the button would not be functional..

Yes, that is correct. I always use similar hyperlink, to launch JavaScript
popup windows.

I never use a form button or elements unless I am actually submitting form
data to a form handler.

Use the following:

<td width="28%"><a href="Javascript:launchCenter('fin_example.asp',
'center',350, 500)"><img border="0" src="images/fin_ani2.gif"
align="right"></a></td>

SKC,

Here is a page using my example:

http://www.glassart.biz/Listings/Listings.asp?L=C04S25

Click on any of the icons in the top right of any listing. The same applies
for the first 4 text links under the Art Glass Calendar on the left side of
each page.

Now I don't use the specific JavaScript functions that you are using with
all of the options, so that could be part of the issue.

Here is the JS from the above page:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var Contact
function MakeContact(Display)
{
ShowWindow1=window.open("","Contact","scrollbars=0,resizable=1,width=402,hei
ght=450,top=50,left=50");
ShowWindow1.location.href=Display
self.Contact = ShowWindow1
}
//--->
</script>

<a href="javascript:MakeContact('Contact.asp?a=<%=RS("AcctNo")%>');">
