Pop-Up boxes and Rolling text/ HELP!!!!

[jhendricks]

To whom it may concern:

I am a complete novice when it comes to Dreamweaver but am responsible for updates and upkeep on a musician site. Please point me in the direction or strait out tell me how to do the following:

1) Pop-Up boxes: like when you enter this site. You are given an advertisement to join the site. How the hell do you get those to pop up right when you enter?

2) How could I make streaming text like a rolling moniker? On NET OBJECTS FUSION it is refered to as a ticker. How can you do this on Dreamweaver?

Thank you in advance for the assistance.

ok for the popup window...
you can put this in the head section..

<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval(&quot;page&quot; + id + &quot; = window.open(URL, '&quot; + id + &quot;', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=400,height=400,left = 250,top = 65');&quot;
}
// End -->

and in the body tag add

onLoad=&quot;javascriptopUp(#YOURPAGEHERE.html')&quot;

And the simplest way to scroll text across the page is with the marquee tag.

<marquee>Your text here</marquee>

Um. The marquee tag only works in ie explorer and looks real bad in NS,opera and the like.

Get a proper javascript ticker, there are some here

and many mroe on the net.


For the pop-up goto windows -behaviours -open browser window, and after setting the dimensiona dn stuff, ensure it is set to open &quot;onload&quot;

Easier.
