Popup Issue

  • Thread starter Thread starter JCO

The only part I don't understand is this:

Your function (NewWindow), as a script takes 5 parameters.
When you call the function, from the onload, you are passing 6 parameters
(where "front" is the 6th parameter).

I don't understand how your function makes use of this 6th parameter?

Thanks
 
Can anybody answer my question?

I had same problem and then found this script which seems to stop popup from
going to the back. Give it a try.

Put between <head> tags.

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

/*

*/

var win = null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll){
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollba
rs='+scroll+',resizable'
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
}

</script>


Put in <body> tag.

onLoad="NewWindow('http://www.yourpopup.htm','popup','475','410','center','f
ront')"

You can change width and height.

Don't know much about Javascript but it works in both IE and Firefox.

You would have to set the focus on the page that is being loaded in to the popup.

Add the following to the body tag:

onLoad="focus();"

Keep in mind that you can not control the blocking of onLoading pop-ups being blocked by Windows
SP-2 and other popup blockers that users may have installed.

Right! I understand what you are saying about focus()

But my question was this:
The function, when being called passes the paramether 'front' as a 6th
parameter.
By looking at the function, it only takes 5-parameters, therefore, 'front'
does nothing.

I just want to make sure I understand. This appears to be an error.
Thanks Thomas
 
You would need to check with the author of the script regarding "front" parameter.

I've seen in the past web input fields that included a mini text editor for
input into that field and when the data was submitted, the formatting went
with it (in html I assume) (This would be found in an admin section of the
site on an editor/add page)
 
Okay! Then that answers my question.
I didn't understand because I'm use to C++ Programming. While it is very
similar, I wasn't clear on that last parameter. Basically, if the parameter
is not used for the function, it defaults to be handled by HTML (most
likely).
