what HTML can I include when using createPopup?

#1

I'm trying to use window.createPopup to make a simple
context-based help system, and I need to know how (or if) I can get
all the HTML in the innerHTML in the popup.

I've got it working as far as getting the popup to behave, and getting
simple tags like <B> </B> to function in the HTML, but so far when I
try to put in tags like <head></head> and <body></body> it doesn't
work, which means I can't reference a CSS or include any other header
info.

I've seen one or two examples posted on how to use CSS in this way but
they haven't worked when I tried them out.

Restated, I want to use something like this:

________

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">

var oPopup = window.createPopup();
function pop()
{

var oPopupBody = oPopup.document.body;
//oPopupBody.style.backgroundColor = "#cccc99";
oPopupBody.style.border = "solid black 1px";
oPopupBody.innerHTML = "ENTIRE (albeit short) HTML PAGE HERE WITH HEAD
AND EXTERNAL CSS LINK";

oPopup.show(200, 80, 200, 50, document.body);
}
</SCRIPT>

___

I've done something similar with Robohelp but I want to do it with
just code, if possible.

Any help, TIA (including ideas on better places to post this if this
isn't the best). Examples most welcome.

Hey Jfbarr,

Whey do you make it so hard on yourselff?
just open a (own cretated html page) as a window popup with the
size/height as you wish

ook at this ex.

mainpage (from where you wish to fire off the popupwindow)
between the <head></head> signs you put a little javascript as yours

<script language=javascript>
function PopUpVenster(w,h,pagina,titel)
{

window.open(pagina,titel,"toolbar=0,location=0,dir ectories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizab le=1,copyhistory=0,width="+w+",height="+h);
}
</script>

then in the page somewhere you can call your other page with the
normal <A> tag as in this example
<a
href="javascript:PopUpVenster(760,500,'http://www.em-design.be/test.html','clip');">Mytestpage</A>

Put a little attention that there are NO ' quotes ' on the
chifres/numbers but only around teh textvalues
W stands here for the WEIDTH of the new to openen Window
H stands yep indeed for the height
pagina stands for the url adress of the page you wish to open in the
popupwindow
clip stands for the tittla that you want the popupwindow to give

Thanks for the reply, I didn't explain the main consideration perhaps:
I want a popup with no title bar. This is the tricky part. I have a
"close" button on the new popup.

My understanding is that only createPopup will make a popup like this.
It does, but as I say, I can't get the formatting that I want into it.
(the "titlebar=no" doesn't work when just creating a new window)

Thanks,

jfburr
