Hello Everybody,
In my application I have used window.createPopup(); method at client side in my application and Iam getting this error in Netsacpe7.1 and Mozilla that window.createPopup() is not a function.
Can anybody tell me what is the alternative way to use another method instead of window.createPopup() ,as I ahve tried on msdn also but Iam not able to find any other alternative .
Thanks in advance , do tell me if you have any idea.

That sounds like that is an IE only properpty.

You are going to proabably use layers or use a real pop up window.

createPopup is an Internet Explorer specific method, and most likely available only in the later versions of IE only.

You CANNOT use it if your page will be viewed in Netscape, Mozilla, or any other browser except IE. you will need to write your own Javascript code that uses the Javascript standard window.open method to create a pop-up window.

Here is some helpful info. on it

The code is IE only, you should look into using layers to create the same effect.

Hi Jasmine,
Just curious... why do you find the open method not suitable for what you are trying to do? You should be able to just use the open method and write whatever you want to it. Does this not work in NS7?

Hi,
I have not tested that, but it should give you an idea.
If you put the following code into your page BEFORE this popup code, I expect your code to work in NS without any changes

I dont get it, what's wrong with using window.open() ? I would say that's the simplest possible solution, esp. if you dont know a lot about Javascript

I'm with you on that one Sonny. I just got used to using open and normally just use that.

It is very nice object. You can look at ot here:
Popup Object
Ofcourse, if you dont intent to be completly cross-browser and fine with 98% of users that use IE.
I used it for example for context menu on multi frame page - everything else was just not working and I did not like how window.open() looked in that case.
