Add scrollbars

[moonman]

I'm using some script to popup a window of specified size 5 seconds after the page loads. The window only pops up once a session too. Here's the code I'm using:


<!--
var oneTimeWinName = "oneTimePop"
function openPopWinOnce(winURL, winWidth, winHeight, winFeatures, winLeft, winTop){
var d_winLeft = 450 // default, pixels from screen left to window left
var d_winTop = 10 // default, pixels from screen top to window top
var popcookies = document.cookie
if (openPopWinOnce.arguments.length >= 4) // any additional features?
winFeatures = "," + winFeatures
else
winFeatures = ""
if (openPopWinOnce.arguments.length == 6) // location specified
winFeatures += getLocationOne(winWidth, winHeight, winLeft, winTop)
else
winFeatures += getLocationOne(winWidth, winHeight, d_winLeft, d_winTop)
if (popcookies.indexOf(oneTimeWinName) == -1){ // cookie not found
window.open(winURL, oneTimeWinName, "width=" + winWidth
+ ",height=" + winHeight + winFeatures)
document.cookie=oneTimeWinName+"=used"
}
}
function openPopWinOnceBack(winURL, winWidth, winHeight, winFeatures, winLeft, winTop){
openPopWinOnce(winURL, winWidth, winHeight, winFeatures, winLeft, winTop,)
self.focus()
}
function getLocationOne(winWidth, winHeight, winLeft, winTop){
return ""
}
//-->

then:

<!--
function getLocationOne(winWidth, winHeight, winLeft, winTop){
var winLocation = ""
if (winLeft < 0)
winLeft = screen.width - winWidth + winLeft
if (winTop < 0)
winTop = screen.height - winHeight + winTop
if (winTop == "cen")
winTop = (screen.height - winHeight)/2 - 20
if (winLeft == "cen")
winLeft = (screen.width - winWidth)/2
if (winLeft>0 & winTop>0)
winLocation = ",screenX=" + winLeft + ",left=" + winLeft
+ ",screenY=" + winTop + ",top=" + winTop
else
winLocation = ""
return winLocation
}
//-->


To execute the popup, I'm using this:

setTimeout("openPopWinOnce('popup.htm', 300, 280)", 5000);


Can anyone tell me how to add scrollbars, if required, to this window???

I guess if you don't want it included in the window arguments as scrollbars=[yes]/[1] you could perhaps put your content in a <div> and apply the style property overflow:auto to it.

Well, to do it with the code you've got there, just do this

setTimeout("openPopWinOnce('popup.htm', 300, 280, 'scrollbars=1')", 5000);

Cheers guys, I went with your method Beetle, it worked.

beetle, here's a tip for you: the equals sign and the value of features in the window.open() function may be omitted--if the feature appears, yes is assumed, and if it doesn't, no is assumed.

I already knew that, see?
