You can compare your popup script with the lightbox treatment I'm using on my recent BrowserChoice page :¬)

I would probably advise going with Hmmm's first suggestion of using something like Lightbox2 or colorbox. Some browsers dislike opening pop-up windows and they can be annoying. Unobtrusive JavaScript on the other hand doesn't harm anyone.

Alternatively, copy and paste from Hmmm's pop-up example.

It looks like you are using FrontPage to make your website, I might advise you take a look into the actual HTML view when inserting snippets of code if you are not already doing so.

Hi lydia,
I'm not sure if you read my complete reply?!?

As I mentioned, I think you need to code width and height.

I've tried changing your script and it works.
I've changed "screenX=200,screenY=100" to "width=660,height=500".

EDIT: I was using the same image as you - but have just noticed the copywrite is for a different (Freeola) website which may or may not be you?!!! So I've changed the popup to reference my logo...


Hope that helps :¬)

I have to agree Hmmm - no width or height mentioned or even matched that quoted, I looked last night and came to the same conclusion....not quite sure what direction this is taking judging by the responses:-)

You're still losing me :¬)

I can't see 'preview' in navigation > tutorials ?
I see some text with two links at the end - "on to tutorials" or "just writers inc".
------------------------------------------

After some more clicking I've managed to find a 'preview'! ;¬)

I think we've been here before...???

In the code by 'Popup Maker 5.0' you are using shouldn't there be a width=x,height=x statement?

Unless you really want to use that script, I would suggest trying one of the many excellent free 'lightbox' image scripts available.
Take a look at Lightbox2 for example.

Hi lydia,
I'm not too sure which 'popup preview' you are referring to?

If I view your site as 1280 resolution your iframe and 'navigation' link fit within the background image. But at 1024 they are too far to the right - is this what you mean?

I get this with XP and IE7/FF.

I guess it's all down to the 'absolute' positioning you are using, which isn't something I'm familiar with I afraid.
