Thread: How to create a smaller webpage within webpage!

my website is www.vullcanairbrush.com
I am creating a E-commerce website and I want to make a web page that opens within a current page .

For example :I created a web page with product description and used smaller size photo and description.
I want visitor to be able to click on that description and photo and a window with larger photo and a full description opens within the current page.
The new page showing enlarged photo and full description has to be smaller size to allow visitor to keep looking at the page he was previously visiting while reviewing the product he/she selected.

I want to avoid using a pop-up window for practical reasons.
Thanks

Hi, there is the iframe? but not very good with the SE's. Or maybe this might be an idea? LINK
Click on the lower right links, like the Google one as another alternative to a popup page.

Thanks Chris ,
The suggestion is good but will not work if I add "Buy it" button and a link ( correct me if I am wrong)
I am not sure what you mean lower links .
Thanks again
Sinisa

You can make it as a new page, just size the page smaller and give it instructions to open in the size window you want.

I don't know why you don't want to make each of these individual product pages - instead of new windows. Either way, you're making a new product page - why have it open so I have to look at both pages. (As someone into Ecommerce - I hate that LOL) - and for se purposes - let the page have good information and bring in traffic all by itself.

Thank you Beth,
I just visited your Moxie Enterprises and tested one of your items .
When I click on any picture a small window shows and that is exactly what I want to accomplish.
The window that opens is small size how do I format a window like that?

Hi Sinisa,

I think you are referring to a popup.
Copy the following code into the URL field when hyperlinking.

#" onClick="window.open('http://www.yourdomain/yourpage.html', '','width=300,height=300'); return false;"

Edit the domain and dimensions as required.

The I-frame that Chris is referring to can be seen on Properties for Sale pages.

Hi, i thought you where trying to avoid popups? As Tom has suggested is the right code. (Little bit more/extra info at this thread LINK)

Good luck.

Thanks Tom and Chris,
Yes I am trying to avoid the pop-ups .It could be that my understanding of pop-ups is incomplete.
I meant to say that I do not want the pop-up blocker to disallow page appearance .
I have a pop-up blocker but I do not see it working on the type of page Beth Has.
Thank you all once again
I will try it out and see,
Sinisa

Hi,

You could try and use the light box or the rollover tool.
There are so may tools in BV that you can apply for many things.
Let your imagination run wild.

I use the gallery feature - and select for them to open in pop-ups - but those aren't the type of pop-ups that usually trigger the problems.

Using the method described above by Tom, will trigger a pop-up blocker, I believe.

No it does not trigger a blocker Beth. If you open ref ar-zw139 under my Quick Find and click on More Photos, you will see. Could you test for me? Surely not blocking on my pc. Thanks.

I see a lot of sites, the pop-up window can pop up by itself without clicking on anything . How do they do it? Thanks.

You're right - that does not trigger my pop-up blocker :)

Thanks Beth. The code Chris and I gave was originally given by king Navaldesign.

WSBlue and Sinisa, the code is described by Navaldesign in this thread. Click here to open.

A Merry Christmas to all of you.

Dear Beth
I agree with you that I should have an product open in a separate page
Thant is exactly what am asking how do I tell a page to open in a new window of a smaller size.
I want to be able to show a larger photo and text.
I did make a page 300 x 300 and it still opens full size on the screen.
What other information I need to enter and where?
Thank you
Sinisa

name ur iframe if1, then for the buy it link put the targeet as "if1"
