Hot spots and Open Browser Window

I have created a site see www.blingbongs.com...
At the bottom right of the screen it says "meet the Crew"
which is a jpeg, with a hotspot over the top. I hae then asigned a
Java action of "Open Browser Window" using the attribute "On Mouse
Click", in the link box there is a #. As ar as I am aware this
should work on all browsers, but it doesn't. We have two machines,
both installed with exactly the same version of I.E6 yet on one of
the machines it is just not working, the browser window doesn't
open and in fact nothing seems to happen. It doen't seem to work on
Firefox either.
I need a reliable open browser window script that doesn't get
blocked - is it the hotspot or the java that is causing this
problem, or is it the combination of the two. Is there another form
of open browser window that we can use, or is the day of a static
html page beforea flash page out!
Is this just another case of Microsft being buggers - please
help - I don't know what to do? :(
Thanks

Text link and open browser window

Hello
I have successfully done this clicking on an image using
behaviours 'open browser window' to open a larger version of the
image and I would like to do the same with a text link eg 'click
here for Terms and Conditions' and have that web page open in the
same way setting the width, height etc. I can't seem to do it. Any
help gratefully accepted!
Thank you very much in advance.

An easy way to do follow James sage advice, once you've added
the Open
Browser Window behavior to your's link, is to run the free DW
Extension
divaFreeTools on your page. It will update the DW
OpenBrowserWindow
Behavior to work properly when javascript is off and help
Search Engines
find your linked page/image.

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.

IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

Hello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

Whenever I open new tabs Firefox crashes and the browser window closes automatically.what will I do?

I am facing this problem since a month.I never faced this problem before.I always feel good to use Mozilla Firefox as my browser.I used to open multiple tabs in a same browser window.For example- in a tab I logged in to Facebook,at same time I might be downloading songs or something else or open another site in the other tab.It might be 2 or 3 tabs sometimes.But now a days,I am facing the problem whenever I open multiple tabs.Its unusual and so much annoying.The Firefox crashes and the browser window closes showing a messege to send an error report.Please Help me.
N.B. - I am using the Windows service pack 2.
RAM - 2 GB
Hard disk MEmory - 250 GB.

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

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 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.

Open Browser Window Error

I use the Open Browser Window behavior with the <A>
onClick attribute for many images and text links on my site. Works
fine, UNTIL the page gets updated via a change on the main
template. Then the link gives me a javascript error. To fix I have
to pull up each page, open the behavior, OK to save and then resave
the page. No changes made, the code does not appear to change, but
then it works. As my site grows this is becoming more and more of a
nusiance to remeber to "fix" every page that has such behaviors on
it.
I have search the forum, but didn'[t come across a similiar
error. Has anyone seen this. Is there a fix
Thanks!

This means that your template does not contain the required
javascript for
the OpenBrowserWindow behavior in the head of the page. If it
did, then
every child page would contain the necessary code, and you
wouldn't have to
do the song and dance that you are doing.
Make sure it goes in a NON-EDITABLE region of the template
page.
The downside to this is that each page gets the code
(admittedly it's a
small bite) whether it needs it or not....
So - what you should do is open the particular page that has
just broken,
run through your procedure again (which writes the required
code into the
head of the page, and then copy that code (from
<script...> though
</script>), and paste it into the template page in the
same location. When
you save the template page, all child pages will be updated.
There's one nagging problem here, though. If the procedure
you describe is
working without error, then it is also true that DW is
writing that markup
into an EDITABLE region of the head of the page. If that's
the case, then
WHY IS A TEMPLATE UPDATE OVERWRITING THIS? I don't know -
would need to see
your page to know for sure....

Open Browser Window - Not working correctly.

I click the thumbnail on my homepage, I get a larger image in
a new window. Unfortunately, the homepage also redirects itself to
the larger image. You can see this at www.real9.com
I want the homepage to stay where it is, but the larger
window to open in a new window. I used the Open Browser window in
Dreamweaver to set this link up, but its not doing what I want it
too.
Help would be much appreciated, I have been trying to fix
this problem, but no success.
Thank you.

That's one way of handling it. My own preference is to leave
the link in
there and add a return false after the onclick handler. That
way the
link will still work if JavaScript is not available.
To implement that, your onclick for the link looks like this:
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('pics/inside_large.jpg','LargePicture','width=640,height=480')"
Change it to:
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('pics/inside_large.jpg','LargePicture','width=640,height=480');re turn
false"
Careful of word wrap. It's all on one line.

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.

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.

JS, Open Browser Window

I have rewritten my site in Dreamweaver because I thought
this was a problem with the export from Go Live.
When I tell a link to open in a new browser window it works
but the older window also update to the linked page. This pretty
much defeats the purpose of it opening another browser window.
The link that is the problem is the link to "
http://www.yourmaclifeshow.com"
It's the only one I have put in so far since it doesn't seem to
work properly.

You might also mention the need to apply this behavior to the
<a> tag
surrounding the <img>. It's a common mistake, and it
leads to other
undesirable effects.

Open Browser Window - Can't control Fx3 window size

http://pacificwindshield.com/auto_windshield_replacement.html
The Contact/Inquire button (upper right) opens a small form
using DW's Open
Browser Window behavior. I have set the window size to 400 X
340. It works
perfectly in IE6, but not in Fx3. There it opens to the
current default Fx
window size.
What do I need to change to make the form open at 400 X 340
in Fx3?
Thanks
Walt

Thanks. I'll upgrade to SP3, don't know why my auto update
didn't handle
that already.
I just checked and the window opens perfectly in Fx2.
Interesting.
Thanks again.

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.
