createPopup Method | Internet Development Index |
Creates a popup window.
Syntax
oPopup = window.createPopup( [vArgs])
Parameters
vArgs Optional. This argument is reserved for future use.
Return Value
Returns the popup window object.
Remarks
The pop-up window is initially in a hidden state.
When an element has focus and causes a popup to appear, the element does not lose focus. Because of this, an onblur event associated with an element that creates a popup will not occur when the popup is displayed.
Example
The following example shows how to use the createPopup method to create and display a pop-up window.
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Popup Example</TITLE> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript"> var oPopup = window.createPopup(); function ButtonClick() { var oPopBody = oPopup.document.body; oPopBody.style.backgroundColor = "lightyellow"; oPopBody.style.border = "solid black 1px"; oPopBody.innerHTML = "Click outside <B>popup</B> to close."; oPopup.show(100, 100, 180, 25, document.body); } </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <BUTTON onclick="ButtonClick()">Click Me!</BUTTON> </BODY> </HTML>
