Target Frame script??!! Anyone.....

[sonyvegas]

Hello all, if anyone's got any ideas......PLEASE HELP!!!

I want to create a hyperlink from a 'hotspot' within a picture to another page. However, I want it to open in a new window, of a set size, with no menus or anything, just a basic, new window.

It’s slowly eating me away!!

Code: Select all

<a href="" target=_blank>

I'm not sure how to set a fixed size though. Not really sure if that's possible without JS either. Maybe someone else knows a bit more.

well to open in a new window it would be target_blank and that would open a new window as far as sizeof the window it mayhave to be done using javascript but I am not 100% sure

Wow... does it echo in here?

Just kidding jberry

This is a link to a javascript popup code generator. Just fill in the options you want and presto! Then just copy the code into your document. Post back if you have any questions.

Do you already have the hotspot set up? If not, there is a neat flash program I found online a while back that will let you set up the hotspots easily:

However, last time I checked (a few minutes ago) the site was loading slowly, so it may be down. I will look to see if I can find another one. Once you get the hotspots set up, there will be a link (<a href=...) for each one. All you need to do is make the link look like the one on that popup generator site I posted earlier:

Code: Select all

<AREA ... HREF="javascript:popUp('http://www.pagetoopen.com')" ...

**EDIT** Found another page that does the same thing (image mapping):
