Behaviors: Open Browser Window

When I have a link with behaviors to "open browser window" I
do get the new browser window opening up at the desired dimentions
that I specified. The problem is the main page too opens up that
same URL. How do I prevent it from doing so?

Wait - he removed that (as recommended originally) in later
posts in the
thread. Or maybe he didn't.

Behavior-open browser window

Hello,
I am trying the first time to bring up a larger image in a
new br. window (onClick). The page is at
http://www.interweb39.com/accessories.htm.
I am testing in IE and NS. The problems I have
1) although I specify window dimensions it opens a bigger
window
2) the image is not centered in the window
3) when a second onClick opens a new window with a new
picture, the first doesn't stay on the top of the page but it is
minimized
4) while the picture is minimized (and disappears off the
screen) the onClick doesn't work on the same image (I tried _self,
_top, etc. it doesn't make a difference)
5) how can I add a title to the image in the new window
Please help a frustrated beginner, - Thank you!

The windows seem to open properly sized, in IE7 and FF2
anyway.

The DW OpenBroserWindow beahvaaior does not allow for
centering.

The behavior spawns multiple windows - that's simply the way
it works.

using the DW behavior, you cannot.

There are several improved Behaviors available on the DW
Exchange. I
myself offer two - if you must have the popup centered on the
screen, then:
http://valleywebdesigns.com/vwd_jspw3.asp
If you want to make life *really* easy (altho centering is
not in its
repertoire):
http://divahtml.com/products/divaPOPgold/open_popup_windows.php
Both of these Extensions allow for captions under the images,
prevent
spawning multiple windows (They reuse a single popup).

Behaviors/Open Browser Window FIREFOX problem

I have this site I designed, of course I like it perfectly in
Internet Explorer but when I tried it in FIREFOX something gets
messed up.
Basically you scroll over the cagalogue numbers [ID03] etc.
If you click on one, a new smaller window opens. This works
perfectly in IE for me.
In Firefox, when I click on it, the smaller window opens, and
the background window a few seconds later follows and displays the
small page fullscreen as well. Basically, I want the homepage to
always be in the background, and these seperate pages to always be
in the smaller windows.
I'm on a PC, I notice in Firefox it works properly if you
RIGHT click on the items, but most people are going to LEFT click,
so... how do I prevent this site in FIREFOX from 'double opening'
the link?
HERE IS THE
SITE

In the future, or even now if you want to make your life
easier.
Instead of manually adding all this code to each link on your
page, you
might consider purchasing my inexpensive DW Extension called
divaPOPgold:
http://divahtml.com/products/divaPOPgold/open_popup_windows.php.
If you used it, you would only need to have plain links on
your page,
like this:
<a href="04panicsville.htm">[ID04]</a>
divaPOPgold would then automatically add popup code when the
page is
viewed in a browser. As you add more links to the page, no
need to keep
adding behaviors, divaPOPgold will simply work on the new
links as well.
Note also that I removed the class attribute from your code.
It is not
needed. Instead move that styling to a selector for one of
the wrappers
already on the page, e.g. "Layer2"
I will leave it to others to explain why the user of
Absolutely
Positioned "Layers" is not a great idea, but that's a
different story.

Question about Behaviors and Open Browser Window

First my link:
http://www.progressity.com/portfolio.htm
I've created a Portfolio section in my web site. When you
click on one of the thumbnails you get a small browser window
(setup with Behaviors/Open Browser Window size settings) with a
link to visit the site. The problem is in visiting the actual site
the browser window is locked to the smaller size. What am I
missing? I didn't set a behavior for the "visit site" link. But
it's defaulting to the same size.

You didn't do anything wrong. If your browser window is a
certain size, then
if you click on a link in it, it will stay that size. What
you might want to
do is enable the scrollbars and resizing for the web site New
Browser
Windows so when it opens small the user can enlarge the
window. Though you
probably want the toolbars and everything to show so they can
actually
navigate.

Help with Open Browser Window

I built a site named greenscapepump.com. I used the behavior
"Open Browser Window" that allows a photo to be viewed in a smaller
window. I have it set up to double-click the photo name to go to
the browser window. It works on some computers but not others. I
used the same behavior on other pages in the same web site and it
is working on all computers.
The three pages under the menu "Portfolio" are: Architectural
Fountains, Waterfalls and Streambeds, and Floating Fountains, are
the pages that have problems with this behavior on some computers.
Is this an individual computer problem, or do I need to do
something in Dreamweaver to fix it?

OMG - the code on the architecturalfountains page is a horror
Why do you need to use doubleclick.... most users are
accustomed to clicking
on a link wait for something to happen....
Also, the code for that dropdown is massive... are you really
committed to
that menu?
The validator found quite a few errors on that particular
page - I didn't
test each page (that's up to you :) these errors aren't
helping with your
page load also - one of the pages (can't recall which now)
just kept trying
to load and never did stop... try fixing the errors (some
more important
than others to the well being of your page) and then see
where you are at
with your pages... I'd also suggest changing the
'doubleclick' to just the
one click - really no need for anything else.

Open browser window buggy in FF & NN

On my nav page, I've set my links to this behavior: Open
browser window. (on click) Link is "#"
Works great in all browsers except Fire Fox and Navigator.
There, it's buggy, keeps opening the same page, etc. I've tried
setting prefs in FF & NN to various things (open in new window,
open in tab, etc.) Doesn't help.
Should the "target" be set to something? Or - ?
Thanks very much,
DF

SHow us your code, please.

Open browser window behavior in Mac not working right

I am simply selecting my text in my html document and then selecting "Open Browser Window" from the Behaviors panel. I then put in the info for the file I want it to open along with the size, etc...
When I test it in the browser (Safari) the link works but the rollover features don't show ... it doesn't show as a link in the browser window. I followed the tutorial exactly and the instructor's browser showed the link as a rollover. It's driving me a bit crazy.
I'm using CS5 on the latest version on Mac OS (Snow Leopard).
I can put up an example if needed.
Thanks so much for any assistance.

A:hover with "open browser window" behavior?

Hi,
Is it possible to make a text link follow the a:hover style (CSS?) with the behavior of "open browser window"?
I've been using the "OnClick" option (for behaviors), but the cursor doesn't turn into the little hand symbol so I feel like people won't know that you can click on it. If I could make it change color like it does when it is a direct link, or if i could make the hand symbol appear, that would be great.
Thank you in advance!!

We'd need to see your code but I'm guessing you did not highlight the link text and make it a null link.

Trouble with the Open Browser Window behavior

I have a page with thumbnail images. I want to be able to
click the thumbnail and have a new window open with just that image
in the window. If I don't assign a link to the thumbnail, and
select the Open Browser Window behavior, the only 3 options for
when to open the window are onLoad, onError, or onAbort. I want it
to be opened onClick. If I do assign a link to the image, and then
select the Open Browser Window behavior, it gives me the option to
open the window onClick. However, when I test it, it opens 2 new
windows - the one I want, and the one that is the link that I
assigned to the image.
I can't figure this out! Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Sam

You must always do the following when applying behaviors to
images:
1. Assign a link to the image first, even if it is a null
link. Use the
Property inspector to do this.
2. Click on the image in Design view, then click on the
<a> tag that you
see on the Tag inspector bar at the bottom of the document
pane so that the
anchor tag is selected.
3. Now apply your behavior.
You *can* usually truncate this process as follows -
1. Select the image in Design view and make sure that
<img> is selected on
the Tag selector bar.
2. Apply the behavior.
3. Use the behavior panel to set the event desired to
<A> onClick, or <A>
onMouseOver, or any of the appropriate "<A>" containing
items in the list.

Open Browser Window Behavior

I am using the Open Browser Window behavior. When test on my
machine, it works fine in IE, Safari, Firefox and Navigator. When I
upload to my test server it does not open at the correct size in IE
7 (did not test earlier versions) and Safari 3. In both browsers,
the new window is tiny, whereas I am specifying 460 wide and 490
high.
The code for this behavior is: <li>Chairman - John
Andrews (<a href="#"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('Bios&Roles/BioJMA.html','BioJMA','width=460,height=490')">b io</a>)</li>
The page is at:
http://www.collabracom.com/Home-Test8/About/Index.html#
I have the behavior inside a Tabbed Panel. The links for this
behavior on on the "Leadership" tab.
John

My pet peeve - a website in a single page.
It works fine for me in IE7. Once I found the tab.

Open Browser Window behavior not working in IE6 Win

Using DW 8 on Mac and can't get this Open Browser Window
behavior to work in IE 6 on a Windows machine. Any
suggestions?

This page is a GoLive page, and it throws a js error when it
loads because
of some of the GoLive code you have left therein.
I see that link as orange in IE6. And when you click on the
link, you throw
another js error, because the function (MM_openBrWindow) is
not defined on
the page - which is what causes the link to open in a
full-size browser
window. If it were not for that js error, you would get TWO
windows opening
since you have BOTH a link and the behavior, and the behavior
is not
'killed' with a return false, like this -
<a href="aptapp.html" class="override"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('aptapp.html','QualifyforFREEMOVE','scrollbars=yes,width=760,hei ght=800');return
false">

Open Browser Window Behavior - Why is hover cursor and I-beam vs finger?

Why do links that use the Open Browser Window Behavior create
an I-Beam when one mouses over while all other links display the
finger icon? The I-Beam is hard to see and not the "normal" thing a
visitor to a site expects to see when hovering on a link. Anybody
know what this is about?
I am attaching the code. At least I think I am...
And here is a page in a site I am working on that shows this
phenomenon:
Click
here.
The link I am referring to is in the body: "Let's try a Notes
Popup here"
Thanks!

Your A tag is missing its href atrribute, which in this case
should be
"popuptest_1.html" and then add ";return false;" after the
openBrWindow
call, so this:
<a style=""
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('popuptest_1.html','','resizable=yes,width=300,height=200')">Let
try a Notes Popup here.</a>
becomes this:
<a style="" href="popuptest_1.html"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('popuptest_1.html','','resizable=yes,width=300,height=200');retu rn
false">Let's try a Notes Popup here.</a>

Open Browser Window behavior not working

Just getting started with DW from GL - have successfully imported a few sites into DW from GL and am having trouble getting the Open Browser Window behavior to work. Worked fine in GL, code is similar but different. Have tried different things and am out of ideas. I'm not too code-savy.
Here's where the non-working behaviors/actions are: http://www.philasecurities.com/data/luncheon.html
When a user clicks on the red "more..." links they should open a new browser window like they do in the "Click
here for previous years..." section.
Any help would be appreciated!

bregent, thanks for your input but unfortunately most of that's greek to me. Could you either supply me with sample code for one of these links or explain what I'm doing wrong in the design mode? I've followed DW instructions and as far as I can tell I'm doing what I'm supposed to in the behaviors tag inspector. Not sure about some of the settings I should have when browsing for the linked file to open in the new browser window. What should the parameters be set to? What should the relative link be set to, document or site root? How about some of the other options like Select file name from: data sources, server, site root? I've messed with them and tried different combinations but nothings working for me.

Ie7 open browser window behavior problem

I'm stuck! I'm using the open browser window behavior to have
a click through to a small photo on my site. I have defined the
dimensions and it works fine in firefox but in ie7 the browser
window is too wide - wider than the size I defined...
Can anyone help?
You can see the problem is you visit
http://www.dizigniz.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/anastasia/anastasia.htm#
and click on the 'view' button under 'Swatches'

If you are opening an image directly in the browser, you will
never succeed
in doing this. Is that what you are doing? If so, then
investigate the use
of
http://www.valleywebdesigns.com
---> JustSo Picture Window. I couldn't
do without it!
