Pop up window-need to eliminate the sideboxes/Logo

Hi,
I have a link that I created via EZ Pages (https://www.mlsfabrications.com -> click on Color Chart)
In the popup window, i need to use maximum real estate. How do I get rid of the sideboxes AND LOGO etc.

In other words it should be a PLAIN html file showing just the different color shirts.

Thanks!

Make it link to an external, static, html page that just has the shirt pics on it. Edit that ez-page via the admin>ez pages menu and at the bottom look for the field labeled 'External Link URL'. Make it link to a page you created elsewhere on your server with just the shirt pics on it. I haven't tried this but it seems like it would work. Good luck.

Cheers,
Jason

I tried this solution you mentioned but was not sucessful. I created a static html file (colorchart.html) and placed it in the root folder of my zencart install. Then in EZ page where it says 'External Link URL', I entered https://www.mlsfabrication.com/colorchart.html. It gives an error - page not found.

what seems to be missing ?

Re: Pop up window-need to eliminate the sideboxes/Logo

Is the file still there? I tried going to http://www.mlsfabrications.com/colorchart.html and I get nothing. Are you sure you put it in the root directory? First make sure you can navigate to it by just putting the link in your browser's address bar so you are sure you know where it is. Then try again.

In the ezpages config you probably need a full url like http://www.mlsfabrications.com/colorchart.html.

Cheers,
Jason

Re: Pop up window-need to eliminate the sideboxes/Logo

Ok Done. https://www.mlsfabrications.com ->'Color chart'

But still have one more problem

I created a link in more_information sidebox .

Added the following -$more_information[] = '<a href="http://www.mlsfabrications.com/colorsizechart.php" target="_blank" >' . 'Color & Size Chart' . '</a>';

Quick Question: what attribute do I add to make the pop up a certain size and without scrollbar.

Re: Pop up window-need to eliminate the sideboxes/Logo

I'm not a web design genius but AFAIK you have to use javascript to get a window to open at a certain size. You can use <body style="overflow:hidden;"> to turn off the scroll bars but you can also do that with javascript if you are going to go that way. Maybe start a new thread for this particular question to get some more feedback. Good luck.

Cheers,
Jason
