Pop up that displays determined data

[multichild]

What I am needing is a pop up that has one function that captures the details of a link to populate the pop up.

So the function holds the details of the height and width etc, but does not contain the details of what the pop up contains. That information is passed to it via a <a href> link, such as details of where to find the images to display within the folder structure.

Cheers

Maybe you can pass the parameters in the query string and populate the popup in the onLoad function.

Cheers,

assuming you're using PHP or some other server-side code, you could do something like this with javascript:

function doPopup(url) {
    window.open(url, 'w', '');
    return false;
}

<a href="page.php?directory=dir1" onclick="return doPopup(this.href);">Click to show images from Directory 1</a>

then, of course, you'd need to parse the query string in PHP to determine the directory you're using, and go from there.

Seems to work a treat, but i dont seem to be able to control the width and height.

Im sorry, I know you have made it clear where those parameters go, but Im not to clever with j script.

cheers

modify the function:

function doPopup(url) {
    var iWidth = 200;
    var iHeight = 400;
    window.open(url, "w", "width=" + iWidth + ",height=" + iHeight);
    return false;
}

For more popup window characteristics, see this link.
