Q: Do you have a few examples of how to create clickable links for html popup?
A: You can find such example here:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/javascript-close-popup-safari.html

<a class=sampleLink title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;"
onClick="deluxePopupWindow.open('safari', 'New Popup window', '#2: Popup window',
width=250,height=50,resizable,minimizable,fullscreen,centerscreen,middle,right,,fade-effect,
opacity=0.95,floatable=no', 'windows_safari')">Click here to open</a>Q: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.
I can get the menu to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the down menu in dhtml always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:
Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the down menu in dhtml:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>
For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>
No matter where I put the code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?
A: Check that you're using relative position for the down menu in dhtml:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
Q: I am having a problem trying to figure out how to generate a link to javascript popup window.
A: You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage.
For example you've added an image in your html page.
You should specify the ID for it, for example:
<p><img id="open_popup" border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29"></p>
In the Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page manually. You should specify ID's - id="xxxx" for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
Or you want to open a popup onMouseover, onClick or onMouseout on a link.
So, you should create a link (you can also use other object) on your page and set id="" for it, for example:
<a href="javascript:;" id="link">Open popup OnClick</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="over">Open popup OnMouseover</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="out">Open popup OnMouseOut</a>
In Deluxe Tuner you should set:
onMouseOver - over
onMouseOut - out
onClick - link
If you want to show the popup when your page loads you should leave these fields empty:
onMouseOver:"",
onMouseOut:"",
onClick:"",
Q: Hi there ... a while ago I had asked you what I need to change to prevent exit pops from being activated, but I don't think it's working.
For example, a regular link that I want:
onClick="exit=false"
How do I do it with dhtml vertical menu?
Before, in the "text" box in the "Item Parameters" window, you had me do the following:
<span onClick='exit=false;'>click here</span>
But that doesn't seem to work. Any other suggestions? Thanks very much.
A: I suppose that you should move menuItems from the data file to yourhtml page directly (where you define exit variable).
<script>
menuItenms = [
...
],
</script>
