Open Browser behavior question

Hi, does anyone know if its possible to control the placement
of the window that pops up using the open browser behavior. I'm
doing a catalogue, and I would like that when you press a thumbnail
the popup window pops up to a specified size to the left of the
thumbnail. Any suggestions? Thanks

The DW open browser doesn't have the option to positions
popups. You can use
our open browser window which does, and has more features as
well. It's
free.

Open browser behavior does not work properly

I have quite a few websites in subfolders to my root website. I have tried using the open browser behavior to open a smaller resized html page in two of these subfolders. When I apply this behavior it causes about 20 windows to open up of this page.
However, I have another subfolder where the behavivor works perfectly.
What could be causing this error. All these websites are created with templates. Maybe this has something to do with it.
A quick second question. I use ico files to have an image in the url. Everything I have read and the way I used to get this to work was to put these images in the root level. However, using template, they have to be put in the templates folders to work. I don't remember have I came to discover this. Why is this?
I really would like some input to the open browser behaviror problem. Any help will be appreciated.
Joe

It's hard to say what the problem could ber without seeing the page in question. Could you post a link to a live page?
The actual .dwt template (if it's being used correctly) is only used by DW, you do not need to upload it to your actual web server or place your .ico file within it. You may have a link in the head section of your template that is pointing to the .ico file within the wrong folder, and that could be causing the issue.

Open Browser Behavior window name

When the Open Browser Behavior is used there is an option to
provide a window name. What is the proper syntax for referring to
the window name in a javascript? Thanks...

Open Browser Window questions

Okay, I'm deferring to my DW book on how to open a new
browser window to a set size. It works fine, I understand the code
and all things function as they should.
BUT...
There is no longer that cute, little hand that pops up to
tell the viewer, 'HEY, click here'. This is new turf for me and I
know it shouldn't be difficult. Help?
Cheers!
Wordman

This symptom means that you have mistakenly applied the
behavior directly to
the image, rather than to an anchor wrapping the image. To
fix this, select
the image, and enter "javascript:;" in the Link field of the
Property
inspector. Press Tab to set the link. Then apply the behavior
to that
anchor tag.

Open browser window

I have a page of thumbs that have an open browser behavior,
I'm trying to find a way to have the pop ups open in the same
window that was previously open. The goal is to not have a new
window open for every click. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

In each case, change this -
<td width="249"><a href="javascript:;"
target="_parent"><img
src="images/t1.jpg" width="93" height="120" border="0"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('images/art1.jpg','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,hei ght=700')"
/></a>
to this -
<td width="249"><a href="images/art1.jpg"
target="NewWin"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('images/art1.jpg','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,hei ght=700');return
false" ><img src="images/t1.jpg" width="93"
height="120" border="0" /></a>
I made a number of changes -
1. I added the new window's source to the href attribute so
that even when
javascript is disabled, the link will work.
2. I added the new window's name to the target attribute of
the hyperlink,
so that the same window will be used for all such links.
3. I added ";return false" to the end of the behavior call so
that the
hyperlink DOESN'T work as long as javascript is enabled.
4. I moved the behavior call from the <img> tag to the
<a> tag which is how
behaviors should be applied to images.
In your case, you had not properly added the name of the new
window to the
OBW behavior dialog.

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.

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.

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.

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!
