does anyone know what I'm look for (pop-up type)

[mitya]

Hi all

I'm pretty new to JS, but I do know of a pop-up window type which has a special command, and acts more like a software window since you can't right click on it. A friend once told me what the command was for this- does anyone know what I mean?

Thanks in advance.

If I understood it correctly,the command is
window.open("urlToOpen","windowName","poperties such as scrollbars width etc");

and to make un rightclickable you will need to write some javascript to sense which mousebutton is clicked and return it false.

THanks for the reply Khalid but unfortunately it's not what I'm after. I know you can do it all with a standard pop-up script then disable context menu as normal, but there is an in-built function which opens up a window of some kind, and uses a different command to the normal open window commands. Its main feature is that you can't right click anywhere and instead looks like a software window.

Oh well!

Thas has to be MS specific then,because the solution I posted and you already know is valid JavaScript.
you may want to try MSDN on the net

alert("text here") ?

OK thanks Khalid.

Tom- thanks also but sadly it's not what I'm after. It's not an alert or question window, rather a window in which you can display an URL, only right-clicking is disallowed (by its defintion, not with extra script).

Oh well :o(

You might be thinking of modal dialog boxes, via the showModalDialog method of a window; and yes, that is Internet Explorer only. Here's information from Microsoft:

MSDN: showModalDialog (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/showmodaldialog.asp)

Thanks for that Dragle, that's exactly what I need.
