create popup for new sidebox

**digger99** · 10 May 2009, 06:49 PM

Re: www.nwcbooks.com/store using Zen Cart 1.3.8a.

I have used the 'absolute_links_sidebox_1-01' Add On to create a sidebox for wholesalers information.

It works perfectly except that when one opens the link, they view a new, full-size browser window. I would prefer a popup window.

I've attempted to do this using Java Scripts without success....

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

First of all, you have TOO much info in the sidebox. You have full html in there that's going to drive browsers crazy.
You have

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">

</style></head>

<body>
<a href="http://www.nwcbooks.com/store/Wholesalers.htm" target="_blank">Click Here</a>
</body>
</html>

And, you only need

<a href="http://www.nwcbooks.com/store/Wholesalers.htm">Click Here for More Info</a>

But, you would probably be better served to utilize the eZpages to have the wholesaler's info open in the main page area.
And, would something like "Want to Wholesale?" or similar be more explanatory. Right now, it's a little confusing as to whether folks are supposed to click there to wholesale to you or from you.

Thanks very much dbltoe,

I took your advice and created an eZpage. Additionally I deleted the sidebox and added "Information for Wholesale Customers" to the Infomation sidebox.
