HTML: popup window problem?

Question

Hello everyone,
So, I'm just about done with this website. In this website I have three links. all with their own, individual popup html

example:


it's all HTML, no CSS.

Here's my problem. Say I click on one of the three links...
it gives me the popup. NOW, when I go to click my OTHER link (while that window is still open) it inherits the window size! so I have a PDF document that gets viewed in a TINY 200 or so px space.

How can I stop my html from inheriting the popup window from before? (by the way, it ONLY happens with the previous popup window is open).

Any help guys would be AWESOME, thanks!

Hi Reticon.



The reason that's happening is because the browser only sets your popup window's width and height when it first opens the popup. If you try to open a 2nd window, the browser notices you still have the first one open, and simply uses that one. Basically, your browser throws out the width and height of the 2nd popup at that point.



As a workaround, you could lock down your windows so that if a popup is opened, the user CANNOT click on anything from the parent window until they close the 1st window.



Try this as an example and see if this would work for you:

Create 3 HTML pages, then copy and paste the following code into each page:

show popup window




close popup window

show popup window




close popup window

show popup window




close popup window

Good luck!
