Question

Pop-Up window programming

I'd like to have a place where the user clicks (could be a caption, image, etc.) and a small image/window pops up. Then they should have to actively close the window to return to the slide. I can't figure out how to do this, and am stuck with just rollover captions/slidelets.

Basically the same way the "info button" on the bottom toolbar works, but within the project and the ability to show text/images/audio. Is this possible?

    Hi,

    I had something similar where I had a Captivate project from which I wanted to launch an interactive Help page. The Help page was also built in Captivate as a seperate project.

    Every page in my main project had a help button on it that launches the help. So on the Help button I put a Click Box and used the URL option. I entered this in the URL link:

    javascript:window.open("Help.htm","","scrollbars=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,height=605,width=815");void(0)

    The Help was launched in a seperate browser window and I used the commands to remove all the menu and address bars etc. Then the user can close the window when they are done.

    Remember to add the 'void(0)' at the end otherwise it doesn't work properly.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi there

    Probably the closest you will come with this as far as what Captivate supplies natively is the Rollover Slidelet. But you wouldn't be able to keep the "window" (slidelet) on the screen indefinitely. You might time it really long so it seems that way, but eventually it would time out and disappear.

    Cheers... Rick
