Pop ups
-
Hello, working on an app for a buisness... Now that it's almost done, I'm going threw it again, fixing "details"... One of those "details" is causing me major problems: pop ups. I need pop up windows, which I made with the classic JavaScript window.open, because it's easy to specify all sorts of properties, like no toolbars, sizing... How can I make those pop ups WITHOUT JavaScript: it gets blocked by recent OS's like xp sp2... So, pop up windows without javascript, that won't ever get blocked, and where I can specify similar properties as I could with the evil javascript... (and it's hard to google a solution to this, because 99% of results are javascripts) Pleeeease help? :~

You simply use
target="_blank"on a link. The page opens in a new window, but you can't specify any properties for how the window should look.--- b { font-weight: normal; }
It's not just links, it's buttons, images, often inside datagrids... And, without javascript? To size window, remove menu, etc..? :confused:

No, it's not. If you don't want to use Javascript, there are only one way of opening a new window, and there are only two elements that can do it. You use the target property, either on a link or on a form. When you use the link or post the form, the new page will open where you specified with the target property.

As I said, you can't.

The client wants a popup window correctly sized... He also wants it to work for everyone, which is not the case atm with my javascript window.opens... So, am I gonna be forced to tell him "I can't do that" for the first time in my life.. :((:((:(( In any case, this really seems like a missing functionality in vb.net ... Why haven't "they" ever thought of getting rid of the javascript, so we can code a window opener without the javascript (I have come to HATE javascript with all my heart and feel sick every time I have to use it...) What about those nasty crack/serial, or porn pages that manage to open popups in your face, despite your popup blocker? PM or mail me a solution if anyone has one that should not be spread to evil minds... I'll do anything (lol), I really can't stand the thought of having to tell the client "not possible"..

That is not possible. To open a window at a specific size you need to use Javascript, but as you can disable Javascript or certain Javascript functions in the browser (or using a popup blocker), that can not work for everyone.

It has nothing to do with VB.NET what so ever, as you are opening the popup in the browser.

Popup blockers may have settings for what popups it allows. If a site manages to follow these rules, it can use a popup. There is also the possibility that the popup is not a popup at all, but just a part of the page that looks like a popup.
