How can I add a scroll Bar using showModalDialog

Try this

showModalDialog(DialogueFile,"","center:yes;dialogWidth:600pt;dialogHeight:400pt;scroll:yes");

I DONT KNOW WHY IT DOES NOT WORK. It does NOT APPEAR THE SCROLL BAR even I specify the scroll=YES. I check the syntax that is correct as the showModalDialog is run from within the script. See code below



function OpenDialogue(iDialogueFile) {
  if (window.showModalDialog) {
    var sRtn;
    var DialogueFile = "Doc/" + iDialogueFile;
    sRtn = showModalDialog(DialogueFile,"","center=yes;dialogWidth=600pt;dialogHeight=400pt;scroll=yes");

 }


==========
PLEASE ADVISE

BTW, there seems to have a short of 1 closing bracket } for the if.

JUST CUT AND PLASTE PROBLEM.

function OpenDialogue(iDialogueFile) {
  if (window.showModalDialog) {
    var sRtn;
      var DialogueFile = "Doc/" + iDialogueFile;
    sRtn = showModalDialog(DialogueFile,"","center=yes;dialogWidth=600pt;dialogHeight=400pt;scroll=yes");

    if (sRtn!="")
      elTarget.value = sRtn;
  } else
    alert("Internet Explorer 4.0 or later is required.")
 }

See if this work.


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function OpenDialogue(iDialogueFile) {
  if (window.showModalDialog) {
    var sRtn;
//    var DialogueFile = "Doc/" + iDialogueFile;
    var DialogueFile = "http://www.sg";
    sRtn = showModalDialog(DialogueFile,"","center=yes;dialogWidth=200pt;dialogHeight=400pt;scroll=yes;");
  }
}

OpenDialogue("");
//-->
</script>

yes. it works for your sample as DialogueFile is a web site.

But my dialogue file is a htm file.
Such as CompanyPolicy.htm

ok.. I created a .html file named try.html with contents like this

With the below javascript code, it shows both horizontal and vertical scrollbars as expected :)
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function OpenDialogue(iDialogueFile) {
  if (window.showModalDialog) {
    var sRtn;
//    var DialogueFile = "Doc/" + iDialogueFile;
    var DialogueFile = "try.html";
    sRtn = showModalDialog(DialogueFile,"","center=yes;dialogWidth=200pt;dialogHeight=400pt;scroll=yes;");
  }
}

OpenDialogue("");
//-->
</script>



Perhaps as for your case, you would like to do a alert on the content of DialogueFile like this
    alert(DialogueFile);


Cheers
hongjun

USE alert DOES not open the htm file.
just display the text "try.html"

yes :)
The whole idea is to check if the DialogueFile is correct.
Is the path displayed correctly for your case?


hongjun

This is an inherent limitation of modal dialogs. They're designed to behave this way.

There are two workarounds for this:

1. Use a scrolling <div>
2. Make your modal dialog 'root' document an <iframe> then load the page you want to display into the IFRAME (incidentally, this is what you MUST do if you want to link to different pages within an modal dialog).

Hi deighc,

Please give me the sample code. I'm not sure very how to do it.

See my code below
function OpenDialogue(iDialogueFile) {
  if (window.showModalDialog) {
    var sRtn;
     var DialogueFile = "Doc/" + iDialogueFile;
    sRtn = showModalDialog(DialogueFile,"","center=yes;dialogWidth=600pt;dialogHeight=400pt;scroll=yes");

    if (sRtn!="")
      elTarget.value = sRtn;
  } else
    alert("Internet Explorer 4.0 or later is required.")
 }



I have increased the point to 500 as I can see the difficulties
