Pop up window code where? Sitepoint you have it.

[AndyD]

Hi all. I can find plenty of popup window code examples but I want one which works the same way the sitepoint code does and pops up a window to ask if the user wants to subcsribe to our newsletter for the first time they visit and then does not reappear each time they visit, I assume tghis uses a cookie. Maybe Sitepoint could point me in the right direction.

Thank you one and all

Regards AndyD.

Here is a very simple popup window maker.

This goes in the head of the document:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=1,location=1,statusbar=1,menubar=1,resizable=1,width=400,height=300');");
}
// End -->
</script>

You can set any of the variables to anything you like.

Your links should look like this:

<A HREF="javascript:popUp('url_you_want_to_open')">Open the Popup Window</A>

cckrocks: you can go edit your post, and check a box just above the Submit button to Disable all smilie faces - that ought to fight the little guy with his tongue sticking out in the middle of your code.

How would I use this with PHP? I am trying to take url's out of a MySQL database with the name $url. How do I open this url up using the above script or any other?

Thanks,

Just write the link dynamically in PHP, slotting in your PHP variable where the URL belongs:

<A HREF="javascript:popUp('<?=$url?>')">Open the Popup Window</A>
