Creating Pop Up Windows

[frediabowers]

I would like to link some thumbnail photos to a pop up window but so far I just end up with a regular size window instead. I even created a page just for the pop up window. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this. I want a small pop up window to display a product and description but does not interfere with the page it linked from.

Use the light box feature. You'll find the icon on the left side of the builder page.

Depends on how much information you wish to attach.....the Lightbox suggestions above is good, but only has room for a limited amount of information.

If you want a true pop-up (new browser over the page it originated from) and room to define the size of not only the "page" it's on, but the size of your picture and the amount of information/description, then you will be better off using an "on-click" method to create the new browser .

I have 4 different versions of scripts to use that you can choose from (you can change the "settings" shown in red and blue accordingly). These "on-click scripts" are what you enter in place of a regular URL in the Hyperlink Dialog Box, and need to be customizaed with the precise title of the page to present:

WITH SCROLLBAR
#" onClick="window.open('http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.html', '','scrollbars=1,width=300,height=200'); return false;"

WITHOUT SCROLLBAR
#" onClick="window.open('http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.html', '','scrollbars=0,width=300,height=200'); return false;"

FIXED PAGE POSITION, w/ SCROLLBAR (set where on the monitor you want it placed)
#"onClick="window.open('http://www.yoursitename.com/pagename.html','','scrollbars=1,width=500,height=200,left=130,top=235'); return false;"

FIXED PAGE POSITION, w/o SCROLLBAR (set where on the monitor you want it placed)
#"onClick="window.open('http://www.yoursitename.com/pagename.html','','scrollbars=0,width=500,height=200,left=130,top=235'); return false;"

I have tried the above suggestions but apparently I have not put them in the right place. Should these code go on the pop up page I have created or the page its linked to? And could you please explain on clink scripts?

When you click on the HYPERLINK icon in Blue Voda, a Dialog box comes up for you to define your link, correct? These on-click scripts above are what you enter in the URL field instead of a regular link (which might look like: http://wwwYourDomain.com/next_page.html .... right?).

To make a pop-up (or new browser) appear, you must first properly "customize" the on-click script accordingly, and then copy+paste them into the URL field in the HYPERLINK Dialog box in BV.

Do you need a screenshot to show you, or do you undertand it now?
