Making Pop Up Windows in Dreamweaver MX

I’m currently trying to figure out how I can have it so that someone can click an icon and have a popup icon come up.

I’m using Dreamweaver MX.

Anyone familiar with creating pop up windows that fit the images proportions?

You don't need Dreamweaver for this .. The javascript code for this is :

function OpenWindow( url, width, height, options, name )
{

var newWin = window.open( url, name, "width=" + width + ",height=" + height + "," + options );
}

Replace Page.html, width and height

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="OpenWindow('Page.html',width,height,'scrollbars=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,resizable=no'); return false">Link</a>

Or you can also use the behaviours found in dreamweaver mx. Just apply a "Open browser window" behaviour to the icon and then set your properties. Works like a charm. You will however need to use javascript to be able to close the window and have the parent page refresh any new information it may be directed to. Otherwise it stays how you left it.

Yeah I've tried using that Behavior but I can't seem to get it so that it's set up for on click event or something of that sort.

It only seems to want to work with "on mouse over" which isn't what I want.

Know how to turn on mouse over off?

After you create your behavior, there is a little arrow between "onMouseOver" and "open window". Click on it and choose "onClick". If you don't see it, make sure you have it set to show behaviors for like IE 5 and above or something like that.

Awesome, yeah that worked.

I cant' seem to be exact with the measurements however. I tell the window to be the size that the image is. When it opens in the browser it's always off centered. I'm always having to adjust it.

That's because the browser puts a margin around everything. You have to make an html page to pop-up in the window that has all margins and padding set to 0 for it to fit perfectly in the window. Otherwise you'll always have that border.

Ok, it's working the way I want it to now.

Thanks for your help. :D
