"Silly Scripts"

Never seem to do what I want them to! I stole this nice little script earlier today, it's a pop-up window:



The rest of the script info os on the link:

My problem is, the stupid auto borders which are made when a new window's created/opened...
The windows for my images are made to be the same size as the windows, pretty sure thats not a good idea as you have to allow for the window border..etc but i've got that one sorted...
My problem is getting the image to include into a page and this page will have so the image grabs onto all 4 corners of the window and shows it's delights to all the world.

Can someone help me? I have seen scripts like this, i've been messing around with a few today but since I know as much about Javascripts as i do about the meaning of life, i'm a bit stook.

pretty please with a cherry on top, give me some help.
..doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

I don't know why, but I like to keep my HTML neat, so when I, or others use the 'View Souce' its set out nicely :o)

Should have read

print "Some Text\n";
print "A quote \"in here\" and then a line break\n";

is the typical code doe a \n.

BUT, you have to remeber \n only makes a new line in your Source Code, not your actual Page, so if you had:

print "\nA HEADING\nSome Text\nA Link\n"

it would appear as:


A HEADING
Some Text
A Link


... in your source, but the text on your Web Page would be on one line:

A HEADINGSome TextA Link

... like that,

? \n didn't work for me :(
PHP doesn't like me...

PHP does :oP

I was about to say the same thing :D 28 replies.
I'm very grateful though, i'm lost when it comes to Javascript but after talking to you about this i've seen how clever it is. I like the \" and \n pure genius, wish PHP had them :)

I didn't think there was a limit as to the minimum size, as when I was trying to get the size thing right, for some reason I got a window which seem to be 20 X 20, even though the values were 400 x 400 ... stupid JavaScript, lol.

I say just add a close link under the banner Image, so it fills the blank gap under the banners :o)

CLOSE WINDOW
or
CLOSE WINDOW

will do this :o).

Can't believe it took us over 25 posts to get this far :oP. I'm slipping.

heh, it seems ok now apart from one..the banner :) it makes the window too tall but I guess theres a limit to how small you can make a window..

Thankyou very much for all your help though :D

... still don't get why the Window would open bigger than the size settings. Though you seem to have sorted that :o)
