Win XP and FP 2002.

I'm new to frontpage and web development. I want to
launch a small page from a hover-button as a dialog box.

In other words, click a hover button from a main page,
launch a dialog box that ovrelays the main page (like a
popup), collect some information, select OK and return to
the main page where the dialog was launched from.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
 
Not possible to use JavaScript with the FP Hover button to popup a window.

Hover buttons are not supported by all browsers so it is best not to use
them any more.
ETC
 
A regular image hyperlink to the JavaScript function.

Steve,

what type of effect are you trying to accomplish. If you
want to use the hover button, try setting the target to
_blank from the file selector dialog box. That will open
a new window. If it's different images you want, try
using a javascript. If its just a text format, try using
CSS.
 
Thanks. I don't necessarily want to use a hover button -
I just thought it would be easy and look nice.

The effect I'm trying to accomplish is to have a button
or image link that opens another window that overlays the
first, enter some information and then close it with a
button and be back at the first page. It would be nice
if the secondary window were just a dialog box window
without full internet navigation capability. It is
subordinate to the first page.

Thanks.
 
you might want to look a little down this board for a string called "pop-up
ads", there is a bunch of info there that may help you.
 
Chris,
Thanks, I was able to find some suggested script that
with some modificaiton comes closer to what I need. It
just occured to me that what I really want is for it to
work like this newsgroup message post I'm just now
editing.

In any case, now I just have to figure out how to launch
it from a button or button image instead of having it
immediately come up when reaching the page.

Thank you.
