Hi all,

I am trying to get a popup or popover script to put on my site but can’t seem to find it anywhere at all. Its like this the popup loads on page like a little button, then when it gets to the center it opens up to like 2/3 of the page to show my ad or what ever. My question is can it be done??

what I want is a popover or should I say a layer like popup, as the index.html loads it loads as well but instead of openen in fullsize it opens very small and when the index.html is finish loading the popover starts to bigger ontill its about 2/3 of the page. I hope you understand what I mean…

Hi Guys,

something like this…

\<–START HEADER–\>

\<script language=“JavaScript1.2”\>

// Drop-in content box

var ie=document.all  
var dom=document.getElementById  
var ns4=document.layers  
var calunits=document.layers? “” : “px”

var bouncelimit=32 //(must be divisible by 8)  
var direction=“up”

function initbox(){  
if (!dom&&!ie&&!ns4)  
return  
crossobj=(dom)?document.getElementById(“dropin”).style : ie? document.all.dropin : document.dropin  
scroll\_top=(ie)? truebody().scrollTop : window.pageYOffset  
crossobj.top=scroll\_top-250+calunits  
crossobj.visibility=(dom||ie)? “visible” : “show”  
dropstart=setInterval(“dropin()”,50)  
}

function dropin(){  
scroll\_top=(ie)? truebody().scrollTop : window.pageYOffset  
if (parseInt(crossobj.top)\<100+scroll\_top)  
crossobj.top=parseInt(crossobj.top)+40+calunits  
else{  
clearInterval(dropstart)  
bouncestart=setInterval(“bouncein()”,50)  
}  
}

function bouncein(){  
crossobj.top=parseInt(crossobj.top)-bouncelimit+calunits  
if (bouncelimit\<0)  
bouncelimit+=8  
bouncelimit=bouncelimit\*-1  
if (bouncelimit==0){  
clearInterval(bouncestart)  
}  
}

function dismissbox(){  
if (window.bouncestart) clearInterval(bouncestart)  
crossobj.visibility=“hidden”  
}

function truebody(){  
return (document.compatMode!=“BackCompat”)? document.documentElement : document.body  
}

window.onload=initbox

\</script\>

\<–END HEADER–\>

\<–START BODY–\>

\<div id=“dropin” style=“position:absolute;visibility:hidden;left:200px;top:100px;width:500px;height:300px;background-color:#F5F5F5”\>

\<div align=“right”\>\<a href="#" onClick=“dismissbox();return false”\>[Close Box] \</a\>\</div\>

SPECIFY YOUR CONTENT HERE. IT COULD BE TEXT, IMAGES, OR RICH HTML

\</div\>

\<–END BODY–\>

```php
````

Sorry dude but I don’t know PHP. Plus, from what it sounds like PHP isn’t gonna help you out here.

this might help… i dunno…  
\*\*

\< font size=“2” face=“Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif” onmousedown=“MM\_openBrWindow(‘URL ADDRESS’,‘booking’,‘width=700,height=700’)” \> \< a href="#" \>Link Name\< /a \>

\*\*

Leave the “#” it will tell where to anchor

note: take the gaps out before and after the **\< & \>**

Width & Height is the size of window to be opened …
