Popup Window

Hi there,

can someone please tell me how to set the attributes of a popup window? With attributes, I mean:

- the size of the window
- which toolbars should be visible
- ...

The goal is to make a popup window which shows a description of a word. This popup window doesn't need a toolbar/buttons except for a 'close this window' button.

tnx in advance,

Since you are asking in the Dreamweaver section I guess you want a Dreamweaver answer to this :-)

There is an extension in DW that does all you ask for. You can set wich toolbar/buttons to show, where the pop-up is positioned and even an autmatic closing of the pop-up window if you want.

The extension, which is free , can be found on macromomedias dreamweaver exchange:
http://www.macromedia.com/exchange/dreamweaver/ and search for 'justso'. This will give you a link to the page where you can download the extension.

Good Luck! :-)

Hi klykken, only one question left: the solution you provided seems to be ok, except for one thing: it says onmouseOVER and I really need onmouseClick or something like that: can you tell me how I can change the onmouseover behaviour, if possible. Tnx in advance

hi, tnx for your quick comment but...
If I click on the arrow, the only choice I can make is... onmouseover. I looked it up and when I change the onmouseover into onclick using the html editor, then it shows onclick and it works.
I have no idea why it ain't showing more events when clicking the downarrow. But anyhow: my question is answered.
If someone might know the solution for the fact that I don't get other events when clicking the downarrow... Just let me know...

fledermaus,
I think i know why..
in the behaviours menu, on top it says: Events for:
change this to 4.0 and later browsers.
Now you'll be able to choose from a lot of javascript events
