    @Zeshan

    what do you mean?

    I didn’t have any trouble getting it to work. I wasn’t able to make a resizable window, though — until I changed the parameter in your code from ” resize=” to “resizable=” 😉

    Thanks — this will come in handy and likely would have taken me a long time to write myself.

    There is syntax error in ie, dont allow comma after class property list:

    settings = {
    height:600, // sets the height in pixels of the window.
    width:600, // sets the width in pixels of the window.
    toolbar:0, // determines whether a toolbar (includes the forward and back buttons) is displayed {1 (YES) or 0 (NO)}.
    scrollbars:0, // determines whether scrollbars appear on the window {1 (YES) or 0 (NO)}.
    status:0, // whether a status line appears at the bottom of the window {1 (YES) or 0 (NO)}.
    resizable:1, // whether the window can be resized {1 (YES) or 0 (NO)}. Can also be overloaded using resizable.
    left:0, // left position when the window appears.
    top:0,

    that bug was fix on 04/10/2007. Try downloading the file again since I’ve updated it.

    For some reason, in your example, IE 6 & 7 are showing an error at line 27: $(“.popupwindow”).popupwindow(profiles);

    Showing an error code of “object doesn’t support this property or method.”

  11. brandon said, on May 14, 2007 at 3:57 pm

    I’m getting the same error in ie6 and ie7. Any ideas how to fix it?

  12. rip747 said, on May 14, 2007 at 9:37 pm

    I’ve refixed the file and reuploaded it. Redownload and tell me if you are still experiencing the problem with IE.

    hey thanks man, that did it! Very cool plugin.

  15. rip747 said, on May 15, 2007 at 3:54 pm

    Your welcome 🙂 Sorry it took me so long to post the fix. Won’t let it happen again.

  16. great plugin....but said, on June 29, 2007 at 8:19 am

    How do you activate the plugin with a function rather then with a class as a class=”popupwindow” won’t work with ajax loaded content.

  17. rip747 said, on June 29, 2007 at 8:46 am

    not sure I understand your question. Do you have a page with sample code that you can point me to?

  18. blue0x said, on June 30, 2007 at 9:24 am

    I dig the plugin, however may I suggest a center option. ie:

    settings = {
    …
    center:0 // should we center the window? {1 (YES) or 0 (NO)}. overrides top and left
    }

    then you can overload settings.top and settings.left like so:

    if (settings.center == 1) {
    settings.top = (screen.height-(settings.height+110))/2;
    settings.left = (screen.width-settings.width)/2;
    }

    tada … a centered popup.

    @blue0x

    Thanks very much for the suggestion and I will definitely look into implementing this real soon.

  21. Freddy said, on July 26, 2007 at 9:34 am

    How about an online demo… none ere and none on te referred site.

  22. rip747 said, on July 26, 2007 at 5:40 pm

    @Freddy

    If you download the plugin there is an index.html file that has the demo in it. I don’t have a website to post it to, so that’s the best I can do for now.

  23. Shinobu said, on August 20, 2007 at 11:42 pm

    Hi, thanks for this nice script.

    I think I have found a bug that only the first popup link does not work when placed within the popup window.

    been fixed already?

  24. Matthew Moore said, on September 4, 2007 at 1:10 pm

    Hi,

    I’ve downloaded your script and modified the default settings to include the other Window Attributes: location, directories, menubar, and copyhistory. See the code at: http://pastie.caboo.se/93847

  25. David said, on September 24, 2007 at 4:49 pm

    I second the request for a demo…. You may be pleased with your page hit rate, but that doesnt tell you which (hits/readers) go beyond reading about your plugin and then moving on (because there is no demo).

    There are a great many plugins for interested surfers to evaluate… and its very time consuming testing each one for suitability when there is no online demo.

  26. rip747 said, on September 25, 2007 at 9:15 am

    Please people, for the love of John; I don’t have a website where I can put up an online demo. When I get a website, I will put one up.

    In the mean time though, you can download the plugin and there is a local demo within the plugin that you can run. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve mentioned this.

    Hi,

    I can’t seem to find a license anywhere? Is it GPL?

  30. rip747 said, on March 23, 2008 at 6:22 pm

    all of the software that I write is open source. Forget licenses, you can do with it what you want. Download, modify, call it your own, etc.
    Have fun.

    Guys, where is the documentation of this popup window plugin?

    Hi when I close the popup its not execute $(window).unload( function () { alert(“Form Saved”); } );

    Please help me on that ASAP

    Regards,

    Nice plugin!
    Does anyone know how, or have any ideas, to use this with input tag?

    > Amjad
    Have you tried those code from example page?
    I guess it works.

    function unloadcallback(){
    alert(“unloaded”);
    };
