Open Browser Window Behaviour

Hi,
I want a client to be able to attach pop up window behaviours
to images on their web page. Is it possible to attach behaviours in
Contribute ?
thanks
Simon

I successfully opened every single text link that loads the
songs, and also
opened every single image link on the right hand side.
I don't see a problem here on Firefox w/ Windows XP Home SP2.

Open Browser Window behaviour - no centering option

Hi everyone,
I used the Open Browser Window behaviour in Dreamweaver to
open up a small browser window when a link is clicked, but the
behaviour doesn't provide an option to position the window in the
centre of the screen. Does anyone know if there's another behaviour
that provides this option, or how to edit the javascript to get it
to work?
The code that Dreamweaver generated is below.
Thanks for any help offered.

DW doesn't offer this in any built-in function. You can
manually hack the
code inserted to produce that effect (you would have to
Google to find the
necessary changes), or you can use a 3rd party extension to
do that and much
more. I routinely use DivaPOP for things like this -

Window size will not change in open browser window behaviours

Despite changing the sizes of the window in the edit function of
edit open browser window it always opens up as one big page.
My code is
<p><a href="popup.html"><img src="../Existing business1.jpg" alt="existing1" name="services" width="359" height="283" id="services" longdesc="http://Hr existing" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('popup.html','popup','width=430,height=300')" /></a></p>
Can anyone help?

Which browser(s) are you testing?
Have you got a URL to your test pages yet? That's the best way to get help.

Open browser window behaviour help

hi guys first just want to thank you all found loads of help
on this site !!!
i am getting stuck in to my first real development, played
around before using dreamweaver 8 etc i have learned a bit of code
(html php mysql) played in flash but still limited as im still
learning but found it works best for me to get stuck in!!!
on my website i have a catalog page that i designed to open
in a new window behavior when the link is clicked from the menu
column but as standard the catalog is on the home page. when
catalog is accessed from the menu column the size is set to W:600
H:300 on this page i have logo's linking to pages with products
once a logo is clicked the page it links to opens within the same
window which is too small is their a way to get the page to
automatically adjust full screen or do i have to use the open new
browser window behavior and do it that way?
hopefully i have explained this so it makes sense !

There is nothing you can do about that if that is the setting you have
made for your browser. You may also be looking at this in an emulator
(Adobe Browser Labs) or a non-standard config, or through a local
preview, in which cases, things might not work normally.
It is paramount in the web design business that you not tamper with a
user's settings.
For me, in a default installation of IE7, the popups open in their own
little windows. You are going to have to live with this or deconstruct
all of your pages and use a modal window script - which pops up what
looks like a window, but is actually a DIV on the same page. You were
given links to free sources that require considerable setup or you can
look at automated Dreamweaver extensions (not free) like this:

Using "Open Browser Window" behaviour

In IE7 the page selected in my behavior appears on a full
browser screen, then a blank screen (in the size specified in the
behavior) comes up. Works fine in IE6 and Foxfire. Anyone have
suggestions?
Reno

that it works remotely is all that matters, of course. That
IE gives
troubles locally is by (its) design. You can get around the
local issue
by adding a "mark of the web" to the page (see

Behaviours, open browser window

hi,
have an annoying problem using the "open browser window"
Behaviour. Basically whats happening is that i put up a page of
photos that i have reduced in size, users then click on a photo
that they want to see. Using the "open browser window" a new page
appears with the enlarged photo on it. The problem is this, if
users scroll down my webpage and select a photo, the new window
opens no prob but when they return to the original previewing page
it has returned to the top of the page again. The use then has to
scroll back down to where they left off! this is very annoying for
me and them. HOW DO I FIX?
here is the page im question so you can see for yourself
http://www.vas-ni.com/spares%20gallery.html
i am using Dreamweaver 8. I create hotspots then assign
behaviours to them..
thanks

Change this -
<area shape="rect" coords="3,3,101,76" href="#"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('web
pages/15.html','','width=400,height=300')" />
to this -
<area shape="rect" coords="3,3,101,76" href="#"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('web

Behaviour open browser window

basically what i´m trying to do is to map part
of an image so when clicking on it a small browser window opens.
i´ve read the using dremawaver help but.. didn´t help me.
have googled it but still can´t get it to work. i´m not
sure exactly what to do, do I save a file first and then give it
the behaviour? do i link this file to the mapped image? well,
obviously that´s not the way its done cause it is not
working...
if anyone could give me just the steps from the moment i map
the image to the moment when i press f12 and !voila! a browser
window opens, I would be more than happy and appreciative. Thanx so
much in advance.

select the image-map.
In the property inspector, in the link box, write
javascript:;
Open the behavior panel. Click on the + sign. Select "Open
Browser Window". follow the steps.
When you have applied the behavior, look in your behavior
panel, your behavior should show.
(note that ALL this time, your image map is still selected)
Next to the shown behavior, you see the action that triggers
it; it's a drop-down select menu.
Select onClick.

Open Browser Window & IE6

Im converting one of my flash sites into HTML. In gallery I
have thumbnails that open a new window. Im using the same method
I've always used but for some reason my IE6 on only my laptop seems
to be having trouble opening them. Im wondering if I am just having
a problem with my IE or if visitors may potentially exerience the
same thing. Heres the site:
http://jaredseff.com/temp/progress.htm
My usual method is to select the thumbnail, click Behaviours,
then Open Browser Window (onClick). After I've filled the options
in that window I click ok and then insert," javascript:; " (no
quotes) in the properties panel so that the little hand icon will
show with mouseover.
My behaviour panel is showing events for IE4.
Could it be my browser? Its working fine on Opera, Firefox
& my other PC's IE6.
TIA,
Amelia

check menu item Tools/Popup Blocker... bet it is set to block
all popups.

Open Browser Window Location

I use "open browser window" for dynanic display of pictures and it normally opens a window at the top/left side of the screen.
I know there are tools where you can specify the location of such a window, but I don't use them: top/left is OK for me.
Strangely enough, the same window opens at the center of the screen on my wife's notebook. It doesn't seem to be a Dreamweaver option, but most probably a windows (IE) option.
We both use Windows 7 with same version of Internet Explorer (8.0.7600). Can anybody explain this behaviour?

It would be better to use an arbitrary string after the "#",
making sure
that that fragment identifier does *not* match a named anchor
on the page.
That way the document won't jump *and* won't freeze either;
which can happen
in IE6 when users click on links that have "javascript;" for
href values.
An even better approach of course would be to use a "real"
href (what's
loaded in the popup) with a "return false" statement...

Thanks for the responses. The java script command worked
well. To avoid IE issues, I made the link like this: #!. That makes
it pop up right there. The open browser command was done on the a
tag for the image (the original # place holder). How would you use
a "real" href with the return false command? Can you give me an
example?
Here is the html code:
<a href="#!"

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.

"open browser window" size

I am updating a site that uses pop-ups for definitions
throughout the site. This is a medical site, so the pop-up
definitions are essential. The site was built before pop-up
blockers came onto the scene. I have tried replacing the script
with the "open browser window" action under the tag inspector but
cannot seem to get that to work. I do rely on DW for Java script as
it is not my strong suit. I cannot find a way to have small windows
open with DW - and avoid pop-up blockers. Does anyone have a
solution?
Thank you!

> blocker doesn't even sound - only a new page saying
"page cannot be found"
Then this is not the pop-up blocker at work. This means that
your path to
the file is wrong.
> I will search for some updated Java
Then you won't find it - it's javascript not Java.

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.

Do you have that page on your site? Is that your home page?

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....

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

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.
