javascript popup Description

While this popup object holds what is essentially a document object, it is not related to the window object in any way, and therefore may not load external documents. It does, however, have the helpful characteristic of transcending frame and even browser window borders, giving the appearance of an operating-system level HTML content holder. Thus, you could use it for a drop-down menu or an annotation that needs to flow across frame borders or extend beyond the browser window edge.

A popup is a transient visual element. A click anywhere outside of the popup causes the popup to disappear. But you can assign the full range of mouse events to the elements in the popup's document, for effects such as rollovers and menu item clicks. The HTML content may also contain images.

To create a popup object, use the window.createPopup( ) method. Here is a simple example of the typical creation, population, and display sequence:

var popup = window.createPopup( );
var bod = popup.document.body;
bod.style.border = "3px solid #ff8800";
bod.style.padding = "2px";
bod.style.backgroundColor = "lightyellow";
bod.innerHTML = 
  <p style='font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10px'>Some popup text.</p>";
popup.show(100, 100, 100, 26, document.body);"

None.
