I'm trying to spruce up my website and I am a complete novice at this. I'm using Dreamweaver MX. I would like to create a link that when clicked, will create a new window at a specifice dimension without the URL or Menu bar appearing. I know this can be done, I'm looking for a way to do in Dreamweaver.

I think it's somewhere in the behaviors dropdown. Try looking there.

::a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank"::Go to Yahoo::/a:: that's the code for a new window. replace :: with < and > to open and close the thing. afaik it should be height="600" width="400" after _blank". i think. try it without the ""'s too. drac

draculaz posted Mon, 27 February 2006 at 4:35 PM

oh and 600 and 400 are pixels. change them to whatever you want.

Bandolin try this

//A href="javascript:window.open('URL',
'window-name','menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no,width=xxx,height=xxx')">your link///A>

Dont forget to replace the // with < when copying this code

Replace window-name by the name of this new window, Replace URL by the url of the new window, replace xxx by the size in pixels of your new window.

You should know too that this "simple" method may not work if the browser used got a "anti pop-up"

cheers

In Dreamweaver highlight or select what you want to activate the link. In the TagInspector window select the behaviors tab, clik on the "+" and select "open broswer window". When the new menu appears select what options you want and hit "OK". Hope this helps:) Stew

You can't do that in straight HTML. You have to use a bit of javascript. Pidjy has the right code. Or, if you like, you can see how I do it at my site, linked above.

Nice site aprilgem, like the design. Think its time I updated mine:)

 

aprilgem posted Mon, 27 February 2006 at 7:13 PM

Thanks, Phil! :) Oh, and I forgot to add the code here, too: a href="otherpage.html" onclick="window.open('otherpage.html', 'otherpage', 'width=300,height=450,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no'); return false"

aprilgem posted Mon, 27 February 2006 at 7:15 PM

Sigh. I keep forgetting to add the little last bit. The code I use also works even if the visitor has javascript turned off, so it's recommended. Plus, people can still right-click the link and open it differently if they want to.

bandolin posted Mon, 27 February 2006 at 7:43 PM

Thanks for all the replies but I was looking for a Dreamweaver method. The pidgy and aprilgem methods require me to add coding and I'm not sure where that goes.

This is the code I'm getting for the button that launches the page I want in its own window.

a href="portfolio.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Portfolio','','Images/Navbuttons/PortfolioDwn.jpg',1)"////img src="Images/Navbuttons/PortfolioUp.jpg" alt="Portfolio Button" name="Portfolio" width="92" height="55" border="0"// /a He he. I had to replace the <> with //

If I use aprilgem's technique is this what I should code in its place... a href="portfolio.htm" onclick="window.open('portfolio.htm', 'Portfolio', 'width=xxx', height=xxx, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, toolbar=no, directories=no, location=no,menubar=no, status=no'); return false"

The width and height should be together, no single quotation mark between them. Also, no spaces after the commas in that last array. The Dreamweaver code you provided is for mouseovers -- rollover buttons. The buttons change look as you mouseover them, in other words. Wish I could help you more, but I'm leaving the house in half an hour -- going to the airport so I can take a trip to Australia. :) Won't be online after this post for two weeks at least.

pakled posted Mon, 27 February 2006 at 9:57 PM

you can do on mouseover in HTML 4, at least as far as I can remember..hey, I'm a print operator Jim, not a Java programmer..;)

Pidjy has the answer, but if you don't want to handcode, in Dreamweaver you can add this information by selecting the link text (or an image) and by using the Open Browser Window Behaviour. A dialogue will pop up that you can enter the information into.

Unfortunately, when I do it this way, it gives me "OnMouseOver" so whenever the mouse moves over the button, the window pops open.

I had as many as 5 windows open by moving the mouse over the button. I wanted the window to open when you click the button. Furthermore, in order for it to work at all, I had to disable "Block Popups". I didn't think it would be this hard. All I want is a new window constrained to a certain size without all the menu stuff when you click the button.

Click on the down arrow highlighted and you should get a selection of options change it to 'onClick' as my piccy showed. (must admit mine defaults to onClick so I forgot to mention it :( ) Added this bit> Oh by the way the pop up blocking should stop when you've changed it to onClick.

Awesome that worked! Thanks so much Gog_CA1. I had to change the default from "Show Events for 3.0 browsers and on" to "Show Events for 4.0 Browser and on" in order to get the onClick option.

I used to develope in PERL and C++ (plus HTML/jscript/CSS2/mySQL), alas I'm not 'at the coal face' anymore so the programming doesn't get used a great deal, I just 'talk' to my gang when it goes pear shaped :). Much as I hate to admit it I've also used Flash and actionscript for a fair number of years - but saying that around web developers is a bit like going into a womens institute meeting and asking whether they watch porn - lots of angry faces and shouting :)

Heeey cool stuff! Anyone Gog and Nevanna! Do any of u two have an idea what I should look in to for scanning images and uploading them to the server automatically in a php-based system? I know how to upload files using php, that's not the main problem, but how to make a form with a "scan" button that will scan the image? I also need to find out a similar thing for taking puctures with a webcam.... Anyone got any pointers where I should focus at for this? -- Ray (guilty of using flash too)
