Window Style

[Jick]

I was wundering if it was possible to change the border on a pop-up window I have? As you know a pop-up window has an inset border so you can tell where the window ends and the page begins. I want to change the inset to solid gray and then have my page background grey so it will look like its a prompt to the user but its really a pop-up window! I'm not sure if this can be done in javascript or even at all. If you can help me to do this I will greatly appreciate it. I will do this in any language that is possible: php, cgi, javascript, etc. Thank you. :)

I think you could do it with a script they call "Frameless Pop-up" or something. Please help me... :(

I think you want a "Chromeless window" script, like this one: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/chromeless.htm

P.S. Remember the W3C recommends not using popups.

I looked at that and it makes it so the pop-up is always full screen. I want a little window that is centered in the screen. Does anybody know how to make it so its not full screen? Thanks. :)

Talk to Khalid Ali about that, he's made a script that opens a pop-up window in the centre of the screen.

He uses screen.availWidth and Height then subtracts the appropriate amount from them to account for the size of the window, divides that by 2 and positions the top left corner at that point.

But like I said, for the full script ask him.

It´s not possible to do so i think, but what about an IFRAME?

Example:

<iframe src="test.htm"
width="300" height="600"
align="right" name="test" border="0" frameborder="0" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8pt" class="menulines" scrolling="yes";>
<p>See our <a href="test.htm">newsflashes</a>.</p></iframe></p>

I had a look at your Dandy Group page using IE 6 (I use it by default, old habit's die hard), and I thought it was very good, but then I noticed the marquee at the top of the page so I viewed it in Opera 7 and Netscape 7, oh dear.

Here is the Opera screen shot, in Opera the marquee didn't scroll at all.

And here is the Netscape screen shot, in Netscape it did scroll but it still looked pretty awful.
