Help with Info Window (Hacker Challenge)

Question

OK, I'm cool with GB3 even though I don't podcast. Editing to a QT video is an absolutely great feature worth the admission itself, but...
I really liked the floating info window. Others apparently also. Who's gonna write a script or find a way to either separate the window or have it open to the left?

Answer 1

Create the popup in the usual way and then modify the
javascript by adding
whatever parameters are needed to call a recordset in the
popup which the
correct information, and the particulr field holding the key
value.
for example the simple popup creates a line like this
<a href="#"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('Test.asp','','width=400,height=400')">Link</a>
if auto_id holds the value then the line would be modified to
<a href="#"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('Test.asp?ID=<%recordset.fields.item("auto_ID").value%>','','wid th=400,height=400')">Link</a>
Then on the page being called simple create a recordset that
will display
the information using a querystring as the filter.
