Pop-up window on the home page

C

Culbert

I have a small intranet site that we use here, but I'd
like to use a popup window for new news items or updates,
things like that. I know how to make a page load in a new
window, but how do i get a popup to automatically open
when someone accesses the site's homepage?

<body onload="window.open('newsitems.htm','_blank')">

You realize, I presume, that if you do this, everyone who
hates pop-up windows will hate you.

And everyone hates pop-up windows.

Oh yes. I hate them too, but for the purpose I'm looking
for, popups will work perfectly. We have such a non-
computer saavy group here that almost no one knows what a
popup is.

But, once they find out, they will hate them too. :>)

Why not at least give them a link to click to pop up the window? I've kinds
gotten so I just close pop-ups I didn't initiate without even looking at
them.

And that doesn't happen very often since I switched from IE to Mozilla.

So, is there a way to do it in FP?

Sorry, I should have better directions in my previous post.

In FP2002 and earlier, switch to HTML view, find the <body> tag, and
add an onload= attribute as shown below:

<body onload="window.open('newsitems.htm','_blank')">

In FP2003:

1. Select the <body> tag in the Quick Tag Selector.
2. Display the Behaviors task pane.
3. In the Behaviors task pane, Click Insert and then choose
Open Browser Window.
4. When the Open Browser Window dialog box appears, enter the
name of your popup page in the Go To URL box, and then click
OK.
