Centre pop-up window?

[Artisan]

Does anyone know of a way of centring the Extended Info pop-up window on the screen? I found several Javascripts for doing this, and I've tried incorporating the bit that centres the window, but none of them will work in Act_Primary.html - can anyone help?

TIA

Hi Malcolm,

You can use screenX and screenY to specify the window's screen coordinates (the top left is (0,0)).

Here's how to open a resizable window at (0,0):

window.open("1.htm", "", 
            "left=0,top=0,screenX=0,screenY=0,resizable=1");

To enable/disable scrollbars, menubar, toolbar, addressbar and statusbar:

window.open("2.htm", "",
            "scrollbars=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0");

Alternatively, we can expand the function by allowing the user to specify a name and the dimensions along with the URL when calling the function. In addition, we can do some calculations to center the pop-up window.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function newpop(url, name, w, h) {
  l = (screen.availWidth-10 - w) / 2;
  t = (screen.availHeight-20 - h) / 2;

  features = "width="+w+",height="+h+",left="+l+",top="+t;
  features += ",screenX="+l+",screenY="+t;
  features += ",scrollbars=0,resizable=1,location=0";
  features += ",menubar=0,toolbar=0,status=0";

  window.open(url, name, features);
}
</SCRIPT>

Now, you can call the function by entering this code in Product Full Description like this:

!!<
<A HREF="home.html" 
onClick="newpop('home.html', 'home', 640, 480); return false;"
TARGET="_blank">HOME!</A>
>!!

Or

!!< <A HREF="javascript:newpop('home.html', 'Home',640,480)">Home</A> >!!

Note: The left and top positions of the new window are calculated and stored in variables l and t.

I hope this helps you.

Thanks for that, Suresh
