Ugh! I am very agrivated right now because I keep trying to prgm extremely simple HTML scritps and NONE of them are working, thats including JS. I am going to learn PHP but I dont want to wait to test this out before I learn PHP, it will be too long and I will forget about it. Please post a correct and tested script that opens a popup window. Or tell me what I did wrong in this once:


Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
window.onload('index_inwindow.html','Forum OS | Swivelgames Ltd.','toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,copyhistory=0,scrollbars=0,width=750,height=500');
</script>


or


Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
onload="window.open('index_inwindow.html','Forum OS | Swivelgames Ltd.','toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,copyhistory=0,scrollbars=0,width=750,height=500')";
</script>


Thanks, please help.
you know, for php, you have to have a good knowledge of HTML

html =/= javascript Rolling Eyes

HTML doesn't even HAVE scripts, it has script TAGS, but cannot do a script in and of itself.

The "onload" popups will be blocked by any pop up blocker, are extremely annoying, useless, and should be avoided at all costs <- the first one is prolly why it isn't working for you (ie, disable the popup blocker)

PHP is a server-side scripting language, not client side, meaning it can't make a popup either, only print out the code to make the popup.

So I'd change the title of this thread to "HELP MAKE MY SITE CRAPPY BY ENABLING POPUPS!" Laughing

Neutral I am not laughing, its really annoying me right now, its not even coming up, there is no popup to block is the problem.
CAPS =/= cool. Very Happy Just Joking
So anyway, are you putting those in the head or body section?
I am putting those in the head of the HTML document and then I put the onload="javascript."FUNCTION_NAME"('index_inwindow.html') inside the first body tag <body onload="javascript."FUNCTION_NAME"('index_inwindow.html')>

Is that not correct?
Not at all correct.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function launchMyPopup() {
window.open('index_inwindow.html','Forum OS | Swivelgames Ltd.','toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,copyhistory=0,scrollbars=0,width=750,height=500');
}
</script>
<body onLoad="javascript:launchMyPopup();">
My Content Here
</body>
</html>
Ok thanks Kerm. Much apperciated, I will add that to my site now.
Does that work for you? I tested it and it worked for me...

you are missing the point then. Having popups is the WORST possible design decision you could ever make. Nearly all visitors will have a popup blocker, and won't see it anyway (but will get annoyed at the "this site tried to launch a popup warning")

GET RID OF IT ENTIRELY! DON'T TRY AND MAKE IT WORK!

Tip: make a virtual popup via a centered floating div.

Dude, all I am doing is trying to test something, and it involves a POPUP, so obviously your missing the point.

Thanks Kerm, I will do that. Smile
It's really easy, and just make an area that sets the div's visibility to none when clicked.
I have a mod that does that one private message notify for my phpBB board.
