How To Create A Floating Window Like Google Notebook
Sep 9, 2006
Those who have used Google notebook may notice that google notebook
displays the notes in a small floating window of the browser. I have
tried to create a similar floating window, but with no luck. Dojo has a
sample floating window, but that floating window has to exist in a
browser page, but looks like Google's floating window can exist
independently.
I also tried to debug the google notebook javascript code. It has two
compressed javascript files. One is more than 300k and the other one is
130k. It is too complicated for me to debug the code.
Anybody has some ideas how to create a similar floating window?
I found code on this site for creating popup divs, and got one such popup working fine. Trouble is, I can't figure out how to create multiple popups. I've tried duplicating the CSS piece, calling it layer2, and referencing it from the link piece, but nothing happens. Do I need to create a new javascript file for each layer?
I'm working on a mysql browser / edit-in-place app which presents the user with a floating UI (think lightbox), that contains widgets appropriate for the given field they've clicked on.
Presently, rather than centering the UI element like a lightbox however, I find it best to keep it relative to their mouse, so that they don't have to traverse halfway across the screen with their mouse to interact with the interface if they've clicked something (for instance) on the bottom left.
The problem however should be apparent: if they click something towards the bottom of the screen, we need to adjust the css top/left properties so that the UI remains within the viewable area and doesn't run beyond the viewport, if possible. I've seen this done tons of times with tooltips.
I've thrown some basic awareness together using$(window).height() / width(), but if anyone could point me to a maturealgorithmfor harvesting the appropriate offset.
I'm looking for a cross-browser (IE, Netscape, Mozilla/FireFox, Opera, Safari) javascript that will keep an image (or <div>) in the lower right corner of the browser window whenever part of the web page has been scrolled vertically. I did find a script on the internet that was supposed to fit my needs, but I found it didn't work as advertised. (I included that script below.)
Requirements: - I'm using "Frames" and the frame I want the image/div to appear in is the main content frame that sits against the right and bottom edges of the browser window. So the lower right corner of the browser window is the same as the lower right corner of my frame. - (optional) If the frame content is small enough such that there are no scrollbars or if the page has not been scrolled vertically, then I don't want the image (or <div>) to appear. - the placement of the image/div needs to take into account the width of the scrollbar(s). - my focus is to display a button in this lower right corner that, when clicked, will scroll the page to the top.
I found the following script on another site that claims it would do most of this, cross browser, but I was only able to make it work with IE (and I'm using IE 6.0). When I tried it with Netscape 7.1, Firefox 1.0 (Mozilla 5.0) and Opera 7.54, the button didn't float as the page scrolled. I checked browser settings and javascript is turned on for all the browsers.
Can someone point me to a javascript that will do what I'm looking for, or help me understand why the following script isn't working cross browser? I've worked with javascript and the DOM somewhat, but am not a Master of the subject matter, especially when it comes to cross browser issues.
Thanks, and here are the instructions and script that I mentioned above (that I had founed from another site):
Place the watermark on your page where you want it to appear on non-DHTML browsers (say, the bottom). Then nest it inside a <DIV> tag with the attributes id="waterMark" and style="position:absolute". Code:

How is this done I know it is coded using JS, can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can achieve this

This is my favourite way of doing things. The problem is that Chrome wont do a window.open launched from a set timeout. (buttons are an image background that shows just half of the image at a time) But its nerfed if i cant get it to work on 0.00005% of the browsers that visits the sites! (ive come to really dislike chrome)

How does one create a Pop Up window where the window that pops up is not a Web browser via the Javascript Open command but the window that opens up is a custom window but it is still HTML.
To see what I mean for example go to: [URL] and click on the Log-in link that is on the top right corner. Once you do then a small window pops up where you can enter your userrname & password. This is the type of a pop up window that I need to create.
I want to make a new window and this new window will be like a menu like for instance if I make a drawing web app. Where the person can draw on the main website.Yet, I need to make controls that are not on the website but is created into a new page or new window but I want that new window to always be on top.so they can click the main webpage and paint it without the new created window to be sent behind the webpage.something like this: http:[url].....
but that's in c++ and that's an app.I want the same effect using javascript and have the window of the web browser that was newly created to always be on top.

Is there any way to create a Modal window that appears when someone is about to leave a my website? I would like to try and gather feedback from visitors leaving a particular page that has a very high bounce rate, and would like a pop-up window that contains quick survey question, but I would only like this to appear when they're about to leave the website.

I'd like to create a pop-up window for my site. I've used behaviors in the past. I'm not sure if that's the best way now. Basiclly I have a photo gallery with thumbnails. Once you click the thumbnail I want a larger window to open with the image. I've seen the javascript windows used that use CSS lightbox, however I can't get it to work with my site. I guess I should mention I'm using asp vbscript ,ms sql database with a link to the image paths that are sitting in the images folder.
