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!

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.

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.

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?

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
pages/15.html','','width=400,height=300');return false;"
/>

Open Browser Window Text Link??

Two questions:
1) Can I make a text link use the open browser window function, if so how? Here is the attempt that has failed:
<div class="style11" id="apDiv47" onfocus="MM_openBrWindow('BWPages/BW1002.html','','width=325,height=546')">#1002</div>
2) How to properly code the open browser window function, so that when I use an image as the link the cursor becomes a hand instead of an arrow? Here is what I have:
<img src="images/cards/Icons/card1002.jpg" alt="Motif_2" width="135" height="193" border="0" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('BWPages/BW1002.html','','width=325,height=546')" />
Thanks much!

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 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 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.

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.
