Javascript popup in checkout template

[Louise West]

Hi,

I have built the site at http://www.alarmsandstuff.co.uk and on the checkout template where you enter your Invoice address we have put a javascript popup at the bottom of the page "By placing an order with us you are agreeing with our Terms & Conditions " which works when you click on it. But when you click on the link, the page the link is on reverts to show a page with a list of all the shop sections. How can we get this page to stay the same when the link is clicked?.

Thanks.

Hello Louise.

Rather than using java script, could not use target ="blank" in a normal href, for example

<a href ="http://mysite "target ="blank">Click here</a>

I hope this helps

Yes setting target to _blank does work for opening the link in a new window, but then you cannot specify the size of the new window that opens as you can when you use javascript. Any ideas?.

Hi Louise,

When we had to do this I firstly setup a Script function:

<SCRIPT>

function smallWindow(newContent)
{
winContent = window.open(newContent, 'nextWin', 'right=0, top=20,width=300,height=250, toolbar=no,scrollbars=no, resizable=no')
}
</SCRIPT>

then called it using:

<a href="javascript:smallWindow('http://www.tacklebargains.co.uk/ShippingDetails.htm')">

this works great in our catalog to popup a new window with the shipping details and also a currency convertor.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Stuart

Hi Louise

Another way is to make use of the javascript in actiniccore.js and simply insert:
<a href="javascript:ShowPopUp('http://www.alarmsandstuff.co.uk/acatalog/terms_and_conditions.html',800,600)">Terms & Conditions</a>
for the link (800 and 600 being editable width and height).

Full instructions are on page 39 of the Advanced User Guide (downloadable from
here (http://www.actinic.co.uk/support/downloads.htm)).
