quick FP2003 question

[Matt]

If I purchase the upgrade version is it installed over my current version
or will I have to uninstall the old version first and just use it's product
key?

 

[Guest]

You should just be able to install it over your current version. If you were
to uninstall it, you would have to provide the new installation with the old
CD to prove that you had a previous version...

It is installed over / replaces the old version.
Hence the name : "Upgrade"

well I'm more concerned with all the Jimco Add-ins I have installed rather
than the acutual app

 

[Steve Easton]

You "may" have to download and reinstall some of them to ensure they are FP2003 compatible.

thanks! I may just remove them all and reinstall everything from scratch.
By the way, I'm still a little new at all this, do you know of a good
reference for some of the add-ins, specially Spawn? I just can't seem to
get that one to work the way I think it should.

 

[Steve Easton]

After you upgrade go to the jimco site: www.jimcoaddins.com and download the latest version of
Spawn and install it.
Actually if it was me, I would download and install the latest versions of any and all addins I
might have.

There are / were quite a few changes / differences between FP 2003 and earlier versions.
It is definitely a "different" program, and the creators of the "good" addins have upgraded them.

Spawn is available from http://www.jimcoaddins.com/

It works fine for me. Jim of Jimco is a contributor to this site so he could
probably advise better

well it works, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it do what I want.
I want to click on a small image on the web site and then with Spawn have a
larger version pop up with just the image and no white space around it. If
I make the spawn window the same size as the reference image then Spawn
creates what looks like margins on the top and left so that I have some
white space and the actual image is cropped. I can't figure out how to
remove this margin.

is there going to be a learning curve with 2003? I've just barely learned
the basics of 2000.

 

[Matt]

thanks for all the help!

 

[Trevor L.]

Yes, I found that a problem also. Jimco's Spawn will open a specific size
window. I have a 500*500 image opening in a 500*500 window and yeah, there
are top and left margins.

But on the other hand, I just checked another image 600*400 in a 600 *600
window and it seems to open with no margins, although there is space at the
bottom which I use to put text into. So I am confused. Perhaps Jim can help

just out of curiosity... can you put an onclick close in it if it points to
just an image? Or would you have to build an actual page for each image and
make that onclick close?

You have to create a specific page to be able to add any code to the page, and you can also solve
the margin issue at that time as well, by add the following to the body tag of the page:

topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"

Thomas' answer would have been the one I would have sent - that you need a
separate page, but his extra info explains why one of my windows opens with
no margins - it would be using a style with no margins

In my previous post I thought I had sorted out the opening of windows at
specific sizes.

But the code below opens the window in full width (800), not 600. The height
is O.K.

Why is it so?

popupSlide.windowWidth = 600
popupSlide.windowHeight = 545
popupSlide.winObj = window.open('', '',
+ 'width=' + popupSlide.windowWidth
+ ',height=' + popupSlide.windowHeight
+
',location=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no'
+ ',left=0,top=0')

Jimco's Spawn seems to work O.K. (in other cases) but I need to add extra
code to the page so I am opening the window directly via JS code

I have answered my own question.

I changed the code to

popupSlide.winObj = window.open('', '',
+
'location=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no'
+ ',width=' + popupSlide.windowWidth
+ ',height=' + popupSlide.windowHeight
+ ',left=0,top=0')
And it worked )

Why the order of the parameters would make any difference, I really don't
know.
