FP2003 behaviours and hyperlinks to open new window - 1/16/2009 4:50:18   

I'd like some help please, this appears to be a very silly problem, but i cant find a solution.

I use frontpage 2003 . On my page i use behaviours in the text to create a pop up page with information for readers, readers should open this page by clicking on a link. I can't use the usual hyperlink because i want to set the page size for the new window, and whether it should have scrollbars etc.

I hightlight some text in a page, to create a new pop up window using behaviours in frontpage 2003. Onclick, the window is supposed to open to dimensions which i set. This is fine, it works,

THE PROBLEM IS

usually when you create a link it looks like one, but the one i created doesn't. It works if you click it, but how does anyone know to click it when it looks like normal text?

if i put a physical link using hyperlink, that works, but it changes the first page to the link too, which i don't want. I only want the pop up window to open, but it must show as a link on the page.

i have heard of a null link, is this the solution?

Could someone show me what to do exactly, im not html literate,

thanks in advance

You could use CSS to underline and color the text and then show a pointer on mouseover.

You could use different code. Modify the "yes" and "no" to open a new window with or without scrollbars and menubars, etc. and the numerals to position on the page a number of pixels from the top and left, etc.
quote:


<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
function launchwin()
{
window.open("","yourpage","width=300,height=250,directories=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizeable=yes,scrollbars=yes,screenX=20,left=20,screenY=20,top=20");
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<a href="yourpage.html" target="yourpage" onClick="launchwin()" title="Link Description Goes Here">Link Text Goes Here</a>

TexasWebDevelopers,

thanks for the reply.

I really know very little about html, and the reason i use FP2003 is for that reason. I don't want to fiddle with CSS, and javascript unless i have no choice.

Besides, that is not the only link i have on that page.

Surely there is a simpler solution?

Let's suppose the line is

To check the currency exchange rate, please click here

To see prices please click the price page


the two red lines above are sample texts and the underlined part is where i have used behaviours. The behaviours work fine but did frontpage forget that they need to show something that looks like a link?

Is there a simpler solution that makes the underlined part of the text (behaviour new window) look like a link? can't i add something in "hyperlink"?


thanks

Please go to the code view and show us the code you are using for the links--I haven't used Front Page in years but code is code.
