Can pop-up boxes be placed in a certain area

I'm currently working with RoboHelp HTML, RH8, and am wondering if there is any way to "pin" pop-up boxes (auto-sizing or custom-sized) in a certain location in the window - for instance, the upper left corner.
Thanks a lot for any assistance!

I had to chuckle over this post as quite a number of people reported a problem whereby popups did exactly what you want and it was not what they wanted. Now you come along and want what those who had the problem saw as a bug!
Do not consider uninstalling the patches as 8.0.2 contained a fix for a problem that can wreck your project.
Sorry but I am not aware of any way of forcing what you want.

  • Why does't Flashplayer work after I agreed to an update from an Adobe pop-up box prompt?

    I had problems last year when Flashplayer stopped working suddenly.  After months of seeking help, I received instructions that fixed the problem...until the other day.  A pop-up box from Adobe appeared indicating an update was available.  I agreed to installing the update and the Flashplayer has not worked since.  I referred to my notes from the "fix" last year and made one adjustment in the Active-X settings, but this did not help.  Flashplayer still does not work.  Help!  I just don't think I can go through this for several months again.

    Hi,
    I am going to try reorganizing my reply first and
    just forwarding to you before I try to recover a
    message.  I think the problem may be that I
    provided answers within your text instead of
    separately.  Your system may not like the format
    I tried.  So here goes....  I have pulled my
    answers out of your message and they appear in
    the order of your inquiries below.
    “Check the Windows system tray carefully to make
    certain no applications are still in memory which
    might possibly use Flash Player.” –a statement
    from the Adobe Un-install link article.  I don't
    know what “in memory” means.  The only things I
    have that may use Flashplayer that I know of is
    the Weather Bug.  Windows Mediaplayer is also
    listed in my programs, but I have never used it.
    Also, there is no mention of Norton here, but
    Norton Internet Security ’09 is what I have installed.
    1. No Firefox.  MSN Exlorer is listed among my
    Programs, but I have never used it.  It was
    likely installed by Dell when I purchased the computer.
    2. Norton Internet Security '09.  Bell Internet
    Security - Alert is listed in my programs (with
    options, including uninstall) but this is the first time I have noticed it.
    3. Norton Internet Security has a firewall with
    it that I understand is way better than Windows.
    4. There is a Google toolbar, Norton toolbar and
    a bunch of stuff listed in the Manage Add-ons
    like Skype, Adobe and Sun Java Console which I think are add-ons.
    Java Webstart is listed under Accessories in
    Programs.  In Programs is Adobe Distiller 6.0,
    Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, Adobe (which is
    empty), Adobe.com and Adobe Reader 9.  I did not find DLM or GetPlus.
    I found no listing for Shockwave Flash
    Object.  You did not ask this and I don't mean to
    get ahead of you but in case there is relevance,
    I looked in Internet Options, Security, Custom
    and saw a number of reference to Active X and
    plug-ins, some of which are disabled; others enabled.
    From reading in your posts to mlmarg, I saw the
    instructions for finding the Flash folder and
    used them.  I used Explorer to access My
    Computer,, C Drive, Folder 1386, Folder System
    32.  There are 2 items in it from 2002 but not
    what I think you want.  The 2 are SMSS.EXE and
    NTDLL.DLL.  If this is not correct, I will need your instructions to locate it.
      I will ask because I don't always understand
    what you are asking of  me.  Thanks.

  • Can anyone help with a creating a 'Pop Up' box?

    Hi there,
    Was wondering if anyone could help me with some javascript in my shopping cart. I have two things that I'm after but the second one might be too hard?
    1. I need a pop up box saying "Please choose a shipping option" when they click on the 'Get Quote button' as it's not a mandatory field for quoting.
    2. I'd love to have a pop up box in the shopping cart that won't let a customer proceed to getting quoted if their purchase is below $250.
    Our quote button is "Charge to Franchise" and the website is www.harcourtsonlineshop.co.nz
    Would love your help! I'm only able to do very basic things in BC.
    Thanks for your time,
    Kirsty

    Alright... first off this only almost works.  I'm posting it because hopefully one of the js gurus around here can figure out what the issue is because I can't.
    For me at least (testing in greasemonkey) it works fine until I make more than a couple changes in the shipping options menu, after which it just stops altogether.
    You'll need jquery running obviously.
    var tooltip = '';     
    var total = $('tr.total').find('td:eq(2) > strong ').text();
    total = parseFloat(total.replace(/[^0-9\.]+/g,""));
    var unlockcharge = 250.00;
    var t='';
    $('body').append(tooltip);
    function setPageState(){
         $('#tooltip').empty();
         t='';
         sel = $('select#ShippingOptions').val();
         var bt = (total < unlockcharge)? true: false;
         var ps = (sel == -1)? true: false;
         if(bt){
              t+='A minimum purchase of $250 is required for a quote.';
         if(ps){
              t+= 'Please select a shipping option.';
         if(bt||ps){
              $('#tooltip').html(t);
              $('#catshopquote').fadeTo(100, 0.5).on({
                   'click': function(e){
                        e.preventDefault();
              $('#catshopquote').on({
                   'mouseenter': function(e){
                        $('#tooltip').css({
                             'top': (e.pageY-15)+'px',
                             'left':e.pageX+15+'px'
                        }).fadeIn();
                   'mouseleave': function(e){
                        $('#tooltip').fadeOut();
    $('select#ShippingOptions').on('change', function(){
         setPageState();
    setPageState();

  • How can I stop the login pop-up box for iCloud from repeating?

    I don't use iCloud so I click Cancel in the iCloud login box when I start up my iPad Mini. But this popup box won't take Cancel for an answer and it reappears at least three more times, every 10-15 seconds or so, interrupting what I'm doing - really annoying. Can I stop this pop-up box from repeating like this, and if so, how?

    Ah ok that all makes sense. You are correct that would turn off Find my iPhone. Based off the additional info you provided, it seems to me that the password needs to be updated. What I recommend doing next is entering the password when it prompts you to. If the password is incorrect in the settings then Find my iPhone may not be able to find the phone because it does not have the password authenticated.
    Then you can turn off any iCloud features you choose not to use with this article and leave only Find my iPhone enabled.

    Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries, and click "Remove".

  • Dimmed pop-up box display

    I'm trying to figure out how to do this in DW4.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3926993#3926993
    See link above and click on any of the images; see how the browser screen goes a little dark and the image displays with an X to close it?  I want to do this same thing but be able to play a Flash video in the pop-up box.
    Can someone help me with this in DW4?
    Thanks.

    As you can see from the following image, there is a problem with the JS.
    Try placing the document and the supporting files into the root directory. If that works go here for more info http://www.clearbox.hu.
    It may be that you have to fiddle with the path in clearbox.js
    Incidently, it works fine in IE9

  • Pop up box in yahoo mail won't close, asks "do you use the yahoo! toolbar on multiple computers?" has option buttons but no response when clicking on anything, pop up box just sits there in the way

    whenever I open my yahoo mail when using Firefox, a pop up box appears on the upper left side of the screen, it asks the question "do you use the yahoo! toolbar on multiple computers?" and gives click boxes for "Save to my yahoo ID" and "No thanks, just save to this computer". I get no response to clicking on either box, nor will the pop up close if I click on the "X" in the upper right corner of this pop up. It won't close out and it sits right over the top of the email messages in my inbox. All else seems to work fine, but can't get rid of this pop up box....very annoying.
