Open Browser Window Problem

I used an extension I bought to have more control over
flash's "Open Browser Window' behavior. The new windows open at a
smaller size and are centered in Safari and Firefox on my Mac but
do nothing when the browser is Internet Explorer on a PC.
Thanks if you can help.
See code:

ask for you money back and use the externalinterface class to
call a javascript function that controls your new window.

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

Open browser window resizing problem

I want to have a small browser window open on top of my main
browser page. The open browser window behavior sizing is not
working. The window remains in the default size. So I added this
java script to the page I want to be smaller
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2">
self.resizeTo(400,600);
</SCRIPT>
This did make the window size small, but when returning to
the main browser window that window is now the same small size as
the smaller window.
Now what.
thanks, cyndee

Add a ... ;return false ... to the end of the
MM_openBrWindow() event
call as in the example below... Make sure you place a
semicolon between the
end of the event call and the return false.
<span class="link"><a
href="Gourd%20Purchasing%20Policies.html"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('Gourd%20Purchasing%20Policies.html','gourdpurchasingpo
licies','width=560,height=770');return false">Purchasing
Policies</a></span><br>

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.

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.

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.

Open browser window - not working right in different browsers

My client wants to link to a video on another company's site (he has permission). When I use the DW behavior of Open Browser Window in a specifc size it acts weird, depending on which broswer is used. I've used this function many times over the years and never had this problem until now.
Here is the page: http://www.jesseyoung.com/clients/pristine/services/chimney_sweeps.shtml If you click on the blue graphic "Chimney safety institute of America" it is supposed to open in a 620x460 window. But the client says that sometimes it opens a second full browser window of the site, and also a window with the video, which is not sized properly. It happens with Safari and Firefox, on both is Mac and PC. On my PC it all seems to work fine.
Any suggestions? Could this be something to do with the fact that the video is hosted on someone else's site?

Open Browser Window for QT movie

I am not good with code yet so I work in the design mode. I
am using DMX for mac and I am wanting to link text to a QuickTime
movie. I use the Open Browser Window method and choose my window
height and width. In the Properties window I place
"javascript:%void(0)" in the Link box to give the link a Null link.
I have no problems with Safari, Netscape, Firefox opening up the
media file and playing it fine. IE on both Mac and PC will not open
up a .mov file. The fixed window sits there and the thinking
indicator just spins. IE will open up a .jpg file though with no
problems.
I assume a lot of my viewers will be using IE so I want to
get it working.
Any thoughts. Remember, code does not little good. Sorry.
David

Let's make it a 100%. It isn't possible - the way you imagine
at least it isn't.
You could try to work around with css-layers and flash
javascript communication, but this wont be very reliable. Cotting
up you flash and using an i-frame would be more reliable, but also
not really fun to do.

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

Multiple open browser windows

I have a link on one of my pages that opens a new browser
window when you click on it. Is there any way that I can fix it so
that when you click on a link in that open browser window, another
browser window will open?
I also tried to set up two open browser window behaviors off
of one link, but they're opening at the same time. Is there anyway
that I can have one open, then the other?
I'm really stumped so I hope this question makes sense to
someone.

Let me explain exactly what I'm trying to do, and then maybe
it will make more sense. My site has video on it, so instead of
having the video open up in the same browser and then forcing the
viewer to navigate back to the main page, I set it up so that when
they click on the link for the video, it opens up in a smaller
window. That way they can view the video without having to leave
the main site.
I think that's much easier than having a video open in the
same browser and then navigating back to the main site once the
video is over. My problem is that I need to have a title page for
the video or else I fear people won't understand it. So what I want
to do is have a person click on a link from my site that will open
a small browser with a title page, and then click from there to
start the video.
I personally think it would be better to have the video play
from the same window that the title page pops up in, if there's a
way to do it. I'd like to have a little link at the bottom of the
title page that people can click on that would start the video, but
I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Any suggestions?

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.

Help using Dreamweaver cs3 tutorial, chapter 8, opening browser window dialog box

Hello,
I am using the adobe classroom in a book tutorial for cs3 and have run into a snafu on page 188 of chapter 8. I have tried to select the + sign under the smaller top photo to create a pop-up window. when I select the + sign I cannot access the open browser window dialog box to enter info. I cannot seem to use the link field in the property inspector for this. The link area under source will not come up, just the link over target, which in turn will not bring up the open browser dialog box. Any solutions? Thanks, DesignChambers

Hi David,
I just had the same problem. I cannot preview in Mozilla (or IE). The program becomes unresponsive and I have to close it. Is there any chance that Adobe will update Dreamweaver CS3 so that we can preview in modern browsers?
