please don't use pop-ups
- he wants a popup layer, not a popup window, and that is ok.uan

what you want isn't technically a pop-up, as you want it to be within the same window. try jquery / thickbox.

I'm not sure about all this jquery, miniajax things...I mean they are great, but just to position a layer over the content you only need
divs with id, position and z-index...and some javascript: getelementbyid and innerhtml.

you're right, you don't need all that stuff. you also don't need to reinvent the wheel, especially if you have no idea how to make a wheel. personally, i'd throw jquery on there and be done with it even though i could code it by hand. they've already bothered to tweak it for all the various browsers, why waste an afternoon?

i think pop up windows should come back.

here's a basic lightweight version with inline javascript:

you can check out the js and css here to get an idea of how it's done. the content is static here though, you'll have to write some code to swap your images or whatever. this also just breaks if javascript is off, whereas a lightbox script will degrade nicely by at least loading the image in a new window rather than layer if js is turned off. of course you could code that functionality into this as well.

I keep seeing this in the list and thinking it says "poo up windows".
Not so nice for the people inside the restaurant.

Does anyone know if there is something ajax-based like this where you can have a Flash site pop-up a window layer with another Flash movie? (Flash on top of Flash) I have found HTML site's popping up Flash windows but have yet to find a successful place that shows Flash > Ajax > Flash.
- use ExternalInterface class to call a javascript function from flash on the embedding html pageacescence
